Respiratory Anatomy
What is the trachea?
Passage way for food and air, traps pathogens, made of pseudo stratified columnar epithelium
What is Nasopharynx?
Leads to decrease in respiratory protective defenses, low curative rates
What is Lung Cancer?
Main location of absorption in digestive tract
What is the small intestine?
What is Enterokinase?
Increases surface area in the nose, diffuses and warms air before it enters the lungs
Prevents alveoli from sticking together during expiration
What is surfactant?
Fluid filled lungs, accompanied with inflammation, violent coughing attacks, and vomiting
What is Fungal Pneumonia?
Houses parietal, chief, and enteroendocrine cells
What are gastric pits?
Inactive form of Carboxypeptidase
What is Procarboxypeptidase?
Located superior to vocal fold in laryngopharynx, serves only as protection
What is the false vocal chords (vestibular fold)?
Normal breathing during a respiratory cycle (500 ml)
What is tidal volume (TV)?
Caused by exposure to toxic chemicals, prevents recoil of lungs, leads to COPD
What is Emphysema?
What is Mesentery?
Secreted in mouth to break down carbohydrates, inactivated by acidic pH levels in stomach
What is Salivary Amylase?
What is the Primary Branch?
Serves to lighten skull, warm and moisten air, produce mucous
Likely due to abdominal stab wound, ruptured appendix, or stomach ulcer
What is peritonitis?
Passage point of food from the esophagus to the stomach
What is the cardiac sphincter?
Enzyme needed to activate chymotrypsinogen and procarboxypeptidase
What is Trypsin?
Located at the end of Terminal Bronchioles, covered in individual capillary beds
What is an Alveolar Sac?
Total lung capacity (TLC)
What is 6000 ml?
Gall stones are largely made up of this lipid
Location in digestive tract where chyme mixes with enzymes secreted by the pancreas and bile from the gallbladder
What is the duodenum?
Chymotrypsin and Carboxypeptidase break down what macromolecule
What is Protein?
