Lab Exercise 24
Anatomy of the Respiratory System
Portland Community CollegeBI 233
Introduction
• Provides oxygen to the cells of the body and removes carbon dioxide
Upper & Lower Respiratory System
Upper Respiratory System Nose Nasal cavity Paranasal sinuses Pharynx

Lower Respiratory System Larynx Trachea Bronchi Lungs

Nasal bones
• Frontal and nasal bones form the nasal bridge and processes of the maxillae make up the lateral walls.
• Nasal septum divides the nasal cavity into right and left halves formed by vomer and perpendicular plate of the ethmoid
5
Uvula
• During swallowing, the soft palate elevates and the uvula closes off the internal nares, preventing food or fluids from entering the nasal cavity.

Nasal Cavity
The nasal epithelium covering the conchae serves to cleanse, warm and humidify the air
• Nasal conchae increase the surface areas for the mucus epithelium
The olfactory epithelium in the upper medial part of the nasal cavity is involved in the sense of smell.
The nasal cavity serves as a resonating chamber as well as an avenue for escaping air.
10
Nasal Turbinates or Conchae
• Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells pushes trapped dust toward the back of the throat to be swallowed.

Sinuses
All the sinuses are continuous with the nasal cavity are lined by mucous membrane.Mucous secretions drain into the nasal cavities.
13
Pharynx
• Connects the nasal and oral cavities to the larynx and esophagus
• Anatomically divided into 3 sections:
• Nasopharynx
• Oropharynx
• Laryngopharynx

• Tonsils: lymphoid tissue. Palatine tonsils

17
Larynx: aka Voice Box
• Made of 9 pieces of cartilage, the most important are:
• Thyroid cartilage (Adam’s Apple)• Thyrohyoid membrane
• Cricoid Cartilage• Cricothyroid ligament
• Epiglottis

Inside the Larynx• Vestibular Folds:
• Also called false vocal cords, ventricular band of larynx, ventricular folds, and upper folds
• Vocal Cords, or vocal folds• Lower, “true” vocal cords• Attach to the arytenoid cartilages by the vocal
ligaments (internal)
• Glottis: The vocal cords and the space (rima glottidis) between them.

Carina
Left Mainstem Bronchi
Right Mainstem Bronchi
Secondary Bronchi
Secondary Bronchi
The carina is the last cartilage which separates the entrances to the left and right primary bronchi
24
Bronchi
• The carina of the last tracheal cartilage marks the end of the trachea and the beginning of the right and left bronchi• Left main stem bronchus • Right main stem bronchus
• Bronchi subdivide into secondary bronchi, each supplying a lobe of the lungs

27
Lungs
• Apex: the part under the clavicle• Base: the part touching the diaphragm• Costal Surface: the part touching the ribs• Hilus: indentation containing pulmonary and systemic
blood vessels• Left Lung has 2 lobes and a cardiac notch
• Left upper lobe• Left lower lobe
• Right Lung has 3 lobes• Right upper lobe, middle lobe, lower lobe

Lung Lobes
31
Pleura
• Pleura is the double-layered sac of serous membrane• Parietal Pleura is the outer layer and is attached to the
thoracic walls
• Visceral Pleura is the inner layer covering the lung tissue
• The layers are only touching, they are not fused together• The potential space is called the pleural cavity
• There is serous fluid between the layers which allows them to slide against each other during breathing
32
Pleural cavity is in between the two layers
33
Mediastinum
• The area between the lungs.
• Posterior to the sternum
• Anterior to the vertebrae
• Contains the heart, great vessels, esophagus and thymus
34
Trachea Histology
• Composed of three layers• Mucosa: made up of goblet cells and ciliated
pseudostratified columnar epithelium • Submucosa: connective tissue deep to the mucosa• Adventitia: outermost layer, has C-shaped rings of
hyaline cartilage

Bronchi Bronchioles
• Tissue walls of bronchi mimic that of the trachea
• As conducting tubes become smaller, structural changes occur and eventually they become bronchioles• Cartilage support structures change
• Bronchioles differ from bronchi in that they lack cartilage
• Epithelium types change• Amount of smooth muscle increases

Bronchiole Histology
43
Bronchioles Respiratory Bronchioles
• Respiratory Bronchioles : Continued branching leads to the area where gas exchange occurs by simple diffusion
44
Respiratory BronchiolesAlveolar Ducts Alveolar sacs
45
Alveolar sacs Alveoli
• Alveolar sacs look like clusters of grapes
• The “individual grapes” are Alveoli
46
Alveoli Histology
47
Type 1 Pneumocytes are flattened for gas exchange
Type II Pneumocytes are cuboidal and produce surfactant
48
49
Respiratory Membrane
• The area where gas exchange between air and blood occurs
• It is the fused alveolar and capillary walls (3 layers)
1. Squamous type 1 alveolar epithelium
2. Fused basal laminae
3. Squamous endothelial cells in pulmonary capillaries

The End
• Make sure that you can identify structures on the models
• Identify the structures on microscopes
