Consists of all structures above the level of the vocal
Upper Airway
cords. The nose, mouth, jaw, oral cavity and pharynx.
Function is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Lower Airway Starts at the larynx. Spans from the glottis to the
pulmonary capillary membrane.
Increase the surface area of the nasal mucosa,
Turbinates thereby improving the processes of warming, filtering
and humidification of inhaled air.
Small, horseshoe shaped bone that attaches to the
Hyoid Bone
tongue.
Thyroid Cartilage Adams apple. Directly anterior to the glottic opening.
AKA Cricoid Ring, forms the lowest portion of the
Cricoid Cartilage
larynx, and the first ring of the trachea.
Site for emergency surgical and nonsurgical access to
Cricothyroid Membrane
the airway. Between the thyroid and cricoid cartilage.
Anatomic space or "pocket" located between the
Vellecula base of the tongue and the epiglottis. Where the MAC
blade goes.
, When the airway is stimulated (such as during
aspiration of foreign material or submersion incident),
Laryngospasm
defensive reflexes cause a spasmodic closure of the
vocal cords, which seals off the airway.
AKA Windpipe, is the conduit for air entry into the
lungs. Approx 10-12 cm long, & consists of C-Shaped
Trachea Cartilaginous rings. Begins immediately below the
cricoid cartilage. Divides into the right and left
mainstem bronchi at the level of the Carina.
The space between the lungs that contains, in
addition to the trachea, the heart, great vessels, and a
Mediastinum
portion of the esophagus. Main thing to know- the
heart is housed there.
Carina Where the right and left mainstem bronchi branch off.
Mucous producing cells, that are lined in the trachea
Goblet Cells and bronchi. They trap small particles and other
potential contaminants.
Beta-2 Adrenergic Stimulate bronchodilation.
Receptors
# of Lobes in each Lung Right lung- 3, Left lung- 2.
Visceral pleura Thin, slippery, outer membrane covering the lungs.
Parietal Pluera Lines the inside of the thoracic cavity.
Made of smooth muscle & lined with beta-2
Bronchioles receptors, which can dilate and constrict based on
stimuli.
Balloon-like clusters of single-layer air sacs, and serve
as the functional site for the exchange of oxygen and
Alveoli
CO2. This exchange occurs by simple diffusion over
the pulmonary capillaries.
Process of moving air in and out of the lungs. Consist
Ventilation
of two phases- inhalation and exhalation.
