3366976907RespirationProcess bringing oxygen from the outside air in to all the body cells carrying carbon dioxide out in opposite direction. Body's cells need constant supply of oxygen to burn nutrients to produce energy.0
3366981098External respirationIn the lungs is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air inhaled into the lungs and blood flowing through the pulmonary(lung) capillaries.1
3366985100Internal respirationOccurs all over the body is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood in the capillaries, all over the body(systemic capillaries) and all of cells and tissues of the body.2
3366988548Olfactory senseSense of smell the receptors for sense of smell are contained in patches of sensory epithelium located high in nasal passages.3
3366992440Upper respiratory trackNasal passages Pharynx(throat) Larynx(voice box) Trachea(wind pipe)4
3366994683Lower respiratory trackBrochi Bronchioles Alveolar ducts Alveoli Starts with the brochi ends with the alveoli5
3367003226NaresAlso known as nostrils are external opening of respiratory tube lead into nasal passages.6
3367006497Nasal passagesLocated between nares and pharynx function condition inhaled air passes through them.7
3367009217Nasal septumMidline divider separates the left nasal passage from the right and, hard and soft palates separate dorsal nasal passage from ventral mouth.8
3367015228TurbinatesAlso know as nasal conchae are thin scroll-like bones covered with nasal epithelium that occupies most of the lumen of nasal passages.9
3367019237Dorsal/ventral turbinateThey divide each nasal into three main passageways called nasal meatus.10
3367021705Ventral nasal meatusLocated between the ventral turbinate and the floor of nasal passage.11
3367023412Middle nasal meatusLocated between the two sets of turbinates12
3367024375Dorsal nasal meatusLocated between dorsal turbinate and roof of nasal passage13
3367026026Common nasal meatusSmall fourth meatus located either side of nasal septum continuation with other three meatus.14
3367034538Paranasal sinusesOut pouching of nasal passages contained within a certain space. Each sinus named from skull boon, Frontal sinus-two sinus Maxillary sinus-two sinus15
3367039663SinusitisOpening into nasal passages swell shut or become plugged with inflammation, debris, fluids in the sinus have nowhere to go.16
3367041803PharynxCommon passageway for respiratory and digestive divides into two parts. Dorsal nasopharyxn(respiratory passageway) Ventral oropharynx(digestive passageway)17
3367049011LarynxShort irregular tube connects the pharynx with the trachea made up of segments of cartilage that are connected to each other and surrounding tissue by muscle, is supported in place by hyoid bone.18
3367052722Cartilage pattern larynxSingle epiglottis parid arytenoid cartilages single thyroid cartilages and single cricoid cartilage epiglottis and arytenoid cartilage are the most common19
3382815583Arytenoid cartilage vocal cords form boundaries of______Glottis20
3382817535Glottisopening of larynx21
3382818939Second set of connective tissue bondsFalse vocal cords or vestibular folds is present in larynx in addition to vocal cords they are not involved in voice production.22
3382828686Lateral ventricles are often involved in the treatment of condition in horse's called_______Roaring23
3382834650Larynx main functions-Voice production -Prevention of foreign material being inhaled -Control of airflow to and from lungs24
3382837780LarynxArytenoid cartilages stretch across the lumen of the___ parrell to each other as air passes over vocal cords they vibrate produce sounds.25
3382872777Muscles attach to arytenoid cartilages controlTension of vocal cords they adjust the tension from state to state of complete relaxation which opens the glottis wide produces no sound to a very tight condition that can completely close off the glottis and prevent airflow.26
3382878348Lessening tension vocal cordsLower-pitched sounds are made27
3382879724Tightening vocal cordsHigh-pitched sounds28
3382881839When glottis suddenly open, the forceful release of air results in_____Coughing29
3382882254Purpose of coughingClear mucus and other matter from lower respiratory passages30
3382884682LaryngospasmTypically happens in cats as soon as ET tube touches any part of larynx the glottis slams shut31
3382933930RoaringAbnormal respiratory condition paralysis of half of larynx vocal cords just flaps in the wind as horse breaths32
3382940545Aspiration pneumoniaInflammatory condition of lungs produced by inhalation of foreign material.33
3382942591TracheaWind pipe short wide tube that extends from larynx down through neck region into thorax where it divides into two main bronchi that enter the lungs.34
3382947502Bifurcation of tracheadivision of trachea occurs at the level of base of heart35
3382948415Upside down Ymain part of trachea forms the base of the Y -Bifurcation forms the arms of the Y(left and right main branch that enters the lungs)36
3382958156Tracheal collapsesMostly seen in toy breeds narrow space between the ends of the C shaped tracheal rings is wider then normal when animal inhales the widened area of smooth muscle gets sucked down into the lumen of trachea and blocks it.37
3382964087Bronchial treeAir passageway that leads from bronchi to alveoli38
3382965600AutonamicNervous system that controls smooth muscles adjust in diameter of bronchial tree39
3382967211BronchioleEnters lung each main bronchus divided into smaller bronchi which divide into smaller bronchi and finally into tiny_____40
3382968998Alveolar ductsBronchioles continue to subdivide down to smaller air passageways ______41
3382971086Alveolar sacsAlveolar ducts end in groups of alveoli called____42
3383145586During times intense physical activity the bronchial smooth muscle relaxes allowing air passageways to dilate to their full maximum diameter in a process_____that helps the respiratory effort move greatest amount of air back and fourth to alveoli with each breath.Bronchodilation43
3383148207More relaxed times fully dilated air passageways would actually create more work for respiratory muscles to move air gently so at rest the bronchial smooth muscle contracts reducing the size of air passageways______Bronchocanstriction44
3383149193External respiration takes place in the_____ where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchange between blood and airAlveoli45
3383150824Each alveolus is lined with a thin layer of fluid that contains substance called_____ helps reduce the surface tension of the fluid prevents from collapsing as air moves in and out during breathingSurfactant46
3383153811Disease that causes the brachial tree to become overly sensitive to certain iratatns most common allergic reactions most common in catsAsthma47
3383155639Each lung has a base an apex and convex lateral surfaceLungs48

3383157241Convex lateral surfaceLies against the inner surface of thoracic wall51
3383157808LobesLungs subdivide into sections called_____52
3383158882two ways to distinguish lobes1) by external visible grooves and clefs 2) by internal major branches on bronchi53
3383159629HilusEach lung has small, well defined area on medical side called_____ this is where air, blood, lymph and nerves enter and leave lungs and only area of the lungs that is fastened in place.54

3383162863Lung lobe of horseLeft lung- Crainal lobe/caudal lobe Right lung- Crainal lobe caudal lobe, accessory lobe56
3383164529Thoraxalso know as the thoracic cavity is chest cavity. it is bounded by thoracic vertebrae dorsally, the ribs and intercostal muscles laterally, and the sternum ventrally.57
