    Study Notes

    Hyoid Apparatus

    • Consists of a group of 5 bones that support the larynx
    • Plays a crucial role in tongue movement and swallowing (deglutition)

    Swallowing Mechanism

    • Larynx is pushed upwards (cranially) during swallowing
    • Epiglottis covers the airway to prevent food from entering the trachea
    • Breathing temporarily stops while food is being swallowed
    • Soft palate seals off the nasopharynx to prevent food from entering the nasal cavity

    Lower Respiratory Tract

    • The lower respiratory tract consists of several parts that work together to facilitate breathing and gas exchange
    • The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the throat to the lungs
    • The lungs are the primary organs responsible for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide
    • Bronchi are tubes that branch off from the trachea, one for each lung, and further divide into smaller bronchioles
    • Bronchioles are small airways that eventually lead to the alveolar ducts
    • Alveolar ducts are small tubes that connect to the alveoli, where gas exchange occurs
    • Alveoli are tiny air sacs where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is removed

    Trachea Structure and Function

    • The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is lined with respiratory mucosa.
    • The respiratory mucosa is responsible for producing mucus and has cilia, which are tiny hair-like structures.
    • The cilia in the trachea work to move mucus, containing dust, debris, and cells, out of the lungs towards the throat.
    • This mucus is then coughed up and swallowed, helping to remove foreign particles and waste from the lungs.

    Key Landmarks

    • The carina is a significant anatomical landmark located at the point where the trachea divides into the two main bronchi.

    Tracheal Structure

    • The trachea's walls are reinforced with C-shaped cartilage, which are incomplete rings.
    • The C-shaped cartilage prevents the trachea from collapsing.
    • The cartilage allows for flexibility to accommodate movement and the passage of food in the oesophagus, which is located adjacent to the trachea.
    • The Trachealis muscle bridges the gap between the ends of the C-shaped cartilage rings.
