A

it is a short tube made of cartilage with some connective tissue and muscle, lined with pseudostratified ciliated epithelium.

thyroid cartilage

21

A

epiglottis

22
Q

what is cricoid cartilage?

A

most inferior piece made of hyaline cartilage, short tube below the thyroid cartilage ( goes all the way around larynx like a ring)

23
Q

which piece of cartilage is the 2 pieces of cartilage on posterior surface of larynx helps support vocal folds?

A

arytenoid cartilage

24
Q

what are the corniculate cartilage?

A

pair of cartilage, pieces on posterior surface of larynx

25
Q

which 2 piece of cartilage is on the posterior surface of larynx?

A

cuniform cartilage.

26
Q

what are the mucous membrane folds of the larynx?

A

they are epithelial folds that extend into the glottis. (vocal and vestibular)

27
Q

which folds of the larynx are slightly deeper than the mucous membrane folds that vibrate to make sounds?

A

the vocal folds

28
Q

which folds of the larynx are slightly superior to the vocal folds that play no part in sound production but can pull together to close the glottis to hold breath and swallow?

A

vestibular folds (false vocal cords)

29
Q

where is trachea located?

A

it is the tube extending from larynx to primary bronchi (about T5)

30
Q

describe the structure of the trachea:

A

the trachea is made of several cartilage pieces, with connective tissue & muscle lines with pseudostratified ciliated epithelium.

31
Q

describe the cartilage of the trachea:

A

16-20 rings of hyaline cartilage stacked up. “C” shaped not full circles

32
Q

what is the carina of the trachea?

A

small piece of cartilage at the bottom of the trachea, full of nerves, produces a cough reflex

33
Q

what is a set of tubes that lead from the bottom of the trachea into the lungs?

A

bronchi

34
Q

what is the structure of the bronchi?

A

full rings of cartilage in their walls with connective tissue and smooth muscle and lines with pseudostratified epithelium.

35
Q

what is the first branch of the bronchi?

A

the primary bronchi- 2 branch from the trachea largest branches of the bronchial tree.

36
Q

what is secondary bronchi?

A

it is the branch from the primary bronchi, one for each lobe of each lung. 3 on the right and 2 on the left (only 2 lobes on the left lung)

37
Q

what branches from the secondary bronchi, there’s 10 on each side, lead ro broncho-pulmonary segments deep in both lungs?

A

tertiary bronchi

38
Q

what are bronchioles?

A

form branches off of the tertiary bronchi. there are 14 branchings of the bronchioles. they get smaller at each branching. as they get smaller the cartilage rings are replaced by pates of cartilage. smaller bronchioles have more space between plates. as cartilage is reduced smooth muscle increases.

39
Q

what is the smallest of the bronchioles?

A

terminal bronchioles, formed by last branching of the bronchioles.

40
Q

what is the location of the lungs?

A

paired organs, lateral to the heart in thoracic cavity.
