    Study Notes

    Respiratory System Overview

    • The respiratory system and circulatory system work together to facilitate respiration.
    • The upper respiratory tract includes the pharynx, epiglottis, and larynx, while the lower tract consists of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs, alveoli, and diaphragm.

    Upper Respiratory Tract

    • Pharynx: Acts as a muscular tube for air and food; located in the upper throat.
    • Epiglottis: Flap of tissue that prevents food from entering the airway during swallowing.
    • Larynx: Situated at the top of the trachea, housing the vocal cords which produce sound.

    Lower Respiratory Tract

    • Trachea (Windpipe): Main air passageway located below the larynx leading to the lungs.
    • Bronchi: Two major tubes that branch off the trachea.
    • Bronchioles: Small twig-like tubes extending from bronchi, each ending in alveoli (air sacs).
    • Lungs: Main organs of respiration; each lung has sections known as lobes.
    • Alveoli: Sites for gas exchange between carbon dioxide and oxygen during inhalation and exhalation.
    • Diaphragm: Large muscle beneath the rib cage that aids in breathing by contracting and relaxing.

    Cardiovascular System Overview

    • The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels, facilitating transport of blood and nutrients throughout the body.

    Heart Structure and Function

    • Shape and Location: Cone-shaped, located between the lungs, roughly the size of a fist.
    • Chambers: Four chambers - two atria (upper) and two ventricles (lower), divided by a septum.
    • Functionality: Pumps blood, regulates blood pressure, and ensures circulation of nutrients.

    Blood Composition

    • Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes): Transport oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and body tissues.
    • White Blood Cells (Leukocytes): Part of the immune system, defending against pathogens.
    • Platelets (Thrombocytes): Essential for blood clotting and controlling bleeding.

    Blood Vessels

    • Veins: Carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart, illustrated in blue.
    • Arteries: Transport oxygenated blood away from the heart, usually shown in red.
    • Capillaries: Smallest blood vessels facilitating the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste at the cellular level.

    Blood Circulation

    • Blood circulation involves two main circuits:
      • Pulmonary Circuit: Carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
      • Systemic Circuit: Facilitates the distribution of oxygenated blood from the left heart to the rest of the body.
