The Language of Medicine th 13 edition Davi-Ellen Chabner 1 Chapter 12 Respiratory System 2 Chapter Goals (Slide 1 of 2) Name the organs of the respiratory system and describe their location and function. Identify various pathologic conditions that affect the system. Learn medical terms that pertain to respiration. 3 Chapter Goals (Slide 2 of 2) Describe important clinical procedures related to the respiratory system and recognize relevant abbreviations. Apply your new knowledge to understanding medical terms in their proper contexts, such as medical reports and records. 4 Chapter 12 Lesson 12.1 5 Introduction (Slide 1 of 2) External respiration: Exchange of air in lung capillaries Oxygen inhaled into the air sacs of the lungs Immediately passes into capillaries Carbon dioxide passes from capillaries into air sacs, to be exhaled 6 Introduction (Slide 2 of 2) Internal respiration: Exchange of gases in the cells Occurs simultaneously between cells and capillaries Oxygen passes out of the bloodstream into the tissues Carbon dioxide passes out of tissues back into the bloodstream to travel to the lungs 7 Respiratory Anatomy Mediastinum: Middle of chest where trachea divides into two branches Bronchi: Each leads to a separate lung Lungs: Lobes are not mirror images Hilum: Blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic tissue, and bronchial tubes enter and exit 8 Anatomy of Respiration 9 Respiratory Structures Conduct air Exchange gases Nose Bronchioles Nasal cavities and Alveoli paranasal sinuses Lung capillaries Pharynx Larynx Trachea 10 Respiratory Flow Chart 11 Vocabulary (Slide 1 of 20) Term adenoids alveolus (plural: alveoli) apex of the lung 12 Vocabulary (Slide 2 of 20) Term Meaning/Definition adenoids Lymphatic tissue in the nasopharynx; pharyngeal tonsils alveolus (plural: Air sac in the lung alveoli) apex of the lung Tip or uppermost portion of the lung 13 Vocabulary (Slide 3 of 20) Term base of the lung bronchioles bronchus (plural: bronchi) 14 Vocabulary (Slide 4 of 20) Term Meaning/Definition base of the lung The lower portion of the lung bronchioles The smallest branches of the bronchi bronchus (plural: The branch of the trachea (windpipe) that is a bronchi) passageway into the lung; bronchial tube 15 Vocabulary (Slide 5 of 20) Term carbon dioxide (CO2) cilia diaphragm 16 Vocabulary (Slide 6 of 20) Term Meaning/Definition carbon dioxide Gas produced by body cells when oxygen and (CO2) carbon atoms from food combine; exhaled through the lungs cilia Thin hairs attached to mucous membrane epithelium lining the respiratory tract diaphragm Muscle separating the chest and abdomen; contracts to pull air into lungs; relaxes to push air out 17 Vocabulary (Slide 7 of 20) Term epiglottis expiration glottis 18 Vocabulary (Slide 8 of 20) Term Meaning/Definition epiglottis Lid-like piece of cartilage that covers the larynx; keeps food from entering the larynx and trachea during swallowing expiration Breathing out (exhalation) glottis Slit-like opening to the larynx 19 Vocabulary (Slide 9 of 20) Term hilum (of lung) inspiration larynx 20 Vocabulary (Slide 10 of 20) Term Meaning/Definition hilum (of lung) Midline region where the bronchi, blood vessels, and nerves enter and exit the lungs inspiration Breathing in (inhalation) larynx Voice box; contains the vocal cords 21 Vocabulary (Slide 11 of 20) Term lobe mediastinum nares 22 Vocabulary (Slide 12 of 20) Term Meaning/Definition lobe Division of a lung mediastinum The region between lungs in the chest cavity; contains the trachea, heart, lymph nodes, aorta, esophagus, and bronchial tubes nares Openings through the nose carrying air into the nasal cavities 23 Vocabulary (Slide 13 of 20) Term oxygen (O2) palatine tonsil 24 Vocabulary (Slide 14 of 20) Term Meaning/Definition oxygen (O2) Gas that makes up 21% of air; passes into the bloodstream at the lungs and travels to all body cells palatine tonsil One of a pair of almond-shaped masses of lymphatic tissue in the oropharynx 25 Vocabulary (Slide 15 of 20) Term paranasal sinus parietal pleura pharynx 26 Vocabulary (Slide 16 of 20) Term Meaning/Definition paranasal sinus One of the air cavities in the bones near the nose parietal pleura Outer fold of pleura lying closer to the ribs and chest wall pharynx The throat; including the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx 27 Vocabulary (Slide 17 of 20) Term pleura pleural cavity pulmonary parenchyma 28 Vocabulary (Slide 18 of 20) Term Meaning/Definition pleura Double-folded membrane surrounding each lung pleural cavity Space between the folds of the pleura pulmonary Essential parts of the lung, responsible for parenchyma respiration; bronchioles and alveoli 29 Vocabulary (Slide 19 of 20) Term respiration trachea visceral pleura 30 Vocabulary (Slide 20 of 20) Term Meaning/Definition respiration The process of moving air into and out of the lungs; breathing trachea Windpipe visceral pleura Inner fold of pleura lying closer to the lung tissue 31 QUICK QUIZ 1.
