Respiration:
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the cells of the body and the
atmosphere
included four processes:
1. ventilation: movement of air into and out of the lungs
2. external respiration: gas exchange between air in lungs and blood3. the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide int the blood
4. internal respiration: gas exchange between blood and tissues
6unctions:
Regulation of blood pH: supply body with oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide
roduction of chemical mediators

unpaired cartilages:
a. thyroid cartilage: /dam0s apple# largest of the unpaired
b. cricoid cartilage: anchors larynx to trachea# forms base of larynx on which othercartilages rest# most inferior
c. epiglottic: flap that covers the glottis during swallowing
three pairs of small cartilage that forms walls of larynx paired cartilages:
a. arytenoid cartilage:
b. corniculate cartilage:
c. cuneiform cartilage:
wo pairs of horiontal mucousal folds stretch across larynx
a. vocal or true vocal cords: produce sound$ inferior folds
b. vestibular or false vocal cords: superior folds
a. prevents obects form entering larynx
rachea: %windpipe&

reinforced by 1(25 '(shaped cartilage
provide airway
branch to form primary bronchi
9ronchi:tracheobronchial tree: the trachea divides to form main bronchi# which in turn divide toform smaller and smaller bronchi# leading eventually to many small tubes and sacs
1. trachea divides into left and right primary bronchi
2. insert into lungs

Lungs
occupy entire thoracic cavity
p"eura
each lung is located in a pleural cavity
pleural cavity is lined with parietal pleura
,pleura: serous membrane of the pleural cavity
visceral pleura covers each lung
pleural fluid fills cavity and provides lubrication
right lung has 3 lobes and left lung has 2 lobes
primary %ronchidivide into smaller secondary bronchi which in turn divide ,23orders of branching
smaller branches are called %ronchio"es
smallest division include thetermina" %ronchio"eswhich branch to form
respiratory bronchioles ,attached to alveoli
/"'eo"i: air sacs
small# air(filled chambers where gas exchange between the air and blood ta*esplace
walls of alveoli composed of a single layer of s6uamous epithelium
elastic fibers are wrapped around the alveolus for support ,supported by elastinfibers
allow alveoli to expand and recoil
alveoli are densely covered by pulmonary capillaries
type 77 pneumocytes: cuboidal cells that secrete surfactant# which ma*es it easier
for alveoli to expand during inspiration# and helps reduce surface tension of the alveoliand prevents them from collapsing
phagocytes ingest dust and microorganisms that may reach alveoli ,remove
debris
Respiratory em%rane

Components o# the Lymphatic SystemLymphatics:
lymph vessels
carry lymph from peripheral tissue to venous system
differ from blood capillaries in that lymphatics originate in blind poc*ets# have alarger diameter# and have thinner walls
endothelial cells of walls are not tightly bound# but do overlap$ allows fluids toenter but not leave
lacteals: are lymphatic capillaries in small intestines that absorb lipids
present in almost all tissues and organs
two large collecting lymph vessels: thoracic ductand right "ymphatic duct
thoracic duct: largest lymphatic vessel$ drains lymph from the right side of thebody inferior to the thorax and the entire left side of the body
right lymphatic duct: drain the right side of the head# upper(right limb# andright thorax
Lymphoid nodu"es
loose connective tissue pac*ed tightly with lymphocytes
located beneath the epithelial lining of respiratory# digestive and urinary tracts
larger nodules include the eyer0s patch of the intestines and the tonsils of the
respiratory tract
Lymphoid organs:
separated from surrounding tissue by a fibrous connective tissue capsule
Aymph nodes:
