Cardiopulmonary Anatomy and
Physiology - Chapter 1 Exam-Graded A
Conducting Airways - ANS-Passageways between the ambient environment and the
gas exchange units of the lungs (alveoli)
Two parts of the conducting airways - ANS-upper and lower airways
What is the upper airway composed of? - ANS-Nose, Oral cavity, Pharynx, Larynx
"Voice Box" - ANS-Larynx
Primary functions of the nose - ANS-filter, humidify, and warm inspired air
Nasal Flaring - ANS-Sign of Respiratory Distress
Alar Collapse - ANS-Sign of Respiratory Obstruction, can cause mouth breathing
Non-ciliated Stratified Squamous Epithelium - ANS-Lines the anterior one-third of the
nasal cavity
Pseudo-stratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium - ANS-Lines the posterior two-thirds of
the nasal cavity
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium - ANS-Located in the bronchioles
Simple Squamous Epithelium - ANS-Permeable tissue to oxygen and carbon dioxide,
can be found in the alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries that surround the alveoli
What type of X-Ray would you recumbent for Acute epiglottis? - ANS-Lateral Neck
What do you look for to indicate acute epiglottitus? - ANS-Thumb Sign
What type of X-Ray do you recommend for Laryngotracheobronchitis (LTB) and what do
you look for? - ANS-Anterior X-Ray and look for Steeple sign
Another name for the lower airways - ANS-Tracheobronchial Tree
Two major forms of the lower airways - ANS-cartilaginous and non-cartiginous airways
What separates the lower airways from Lamina proper? - ANS-Basement membrane
