Study Notes
Nasal Gland and Respiratory System
- The lateral nasal gland produces mucus to moisten the nasal cavity.
Larynx Structure
- The thyroid cartilage is V-shaped in the larynx.
- The epiglottic cartilage separates the trachea from the esophagus, preventing food from entering the trachea.
Trachea Control
- The trachealis muscle controls the lumen of the trachea by constricting or dilating it.
Bronchial Tree
- The terminal bronchioles lack cartilage in the bronchial tree.
Respiratory System Landmarks
- The Carina is located at the bifurcation of the trachea in the respiratory system.
