    Study Notes

    Respiratory System Anatomy and Function

    • The nasal cavity humidifies and warms inspired air, and ciliated mucosal cells remove contaminated mucus.
    • The pharynx is a skeletal muscle tube connecting the nasal cavity and mouth to the larynx and esophagus, divided into nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx regions.
    • The larynx attaches to the hyoid bone, functions in airway patency, air and food routing, and voice production.
    • The trachea is a flexible tube composed of mucosa, submucosa, and adventitia layers, leading into the bronchi.
    • The bronchi warm, cleanse, and saturate air, branching into secondary bronchi and further subdivisions within the lungs.
    • The bronchial tree's tissue walls change as the air passages become smaller, with alterations in cartilage, epithelium, and smooth muscle.
    • The respiratory zone is defined by the presence of alveoli, providing a large surface area for gas exchange.
    • The respiratory membrane, composed of alveolar and capillary walls, facilitates gas exchange by simple diffusion and secretes surfactant.
    • Pulmonary ventilation includes quiet and forced respiration, characterized by inspiratory and expiratory phases.
    • Inspiratory and expiratory muscles, including the diaphragm, intercostal, and accessory muscles, are involved in the respiratory process.
    • Brainstem respiratory centers, including the ventral and dorsal respiratory groups, and the pontine respiratory group, control automatic breathing.
    • Central and peripheral input, including chemoreceptors and stretch receptors, regulate respiration and maintain pH levels in the blood.
