Produces speech 3. Maintains acid-base balance 4, Maintains heat balance 5. Maintains body water levels Process: — movement of air to and from the alveoli which has 2 aspects: inhalation and exhalation which is controlled byffMiBAllla and)PBAR - exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between alveoli and blood from an area of high concentration to low concentration with out ATP expenditure. - - availability and movement of for transport of gases, nutrients and metabolic waste products ‘Structures: 1.

Bronchi = The right and left primary bronchi begin at the carina = The function is for air passage = Divide into secondary or lobar bronchi that enter each of the 5 lobes of the lung = Are lined with cilia, which propel mucus up and away from the lower airway to the trachea where it can be expectorated or swallowed + The primary bronchus: TERT BRONCHUS | RIGHT BRONCHUS Narrower, Wider Longer Shorter, More horizontal More Vertical * Bronchioles tertiary then into bronchioles. > The primary bronchus further divides into secondary, = The terminal bronchiole is the last part of the conducting Bee ochre = The terminal bronchiole contains no cilia and do not partici: for patency - Contain no cartilage and depend on the elastic recoil of the lung for P: irway * Respiratory Acinus ~The chief respi an - ae isa ae indicate all structures distal to the terminal bronchiole - Functions for gas exchange through the respiratory membrane - Consists of: 1.

At the end of inspiration, the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax and the lungs recoil 5, As the lungs recoil, pressure within the lungs becomes higher than the atmospheric pressure, causing the air, which now contains carbon dioxide and water (cellular waste products), to move from lungs to the atmosphere Effective gas exchange depends on the distribution of gas (ventilation) and blood (perfusion) in all 6. portions of the lungs Functions of Lower Airways: & * Clearance Mexhanism * Cough ~Mucociliary System * Macrophages © lymphatics General functions of the Respiratory System * For Gas Exchange * Acid Base Balance - imbalance can cause alterations in arterial pH © Elimination of CO2 * Fluid Balance * Temperature Regulation So i ——V3—nrK——— ee REVIEW ACADEMY Diagnostic Tests 2 Chest xRay anata lean! appearance ofthe lungs Provides information regarding the Preprocedure: * Remove all metal objects ner breath * Assess client's ability to breathe and hold his/her ru petareperorming rodlographi * Question women regarding pregnancy or its possibil studies Postprocedure Help client to get dressed Sputum Specimén Ke ldenttfying organisms or Obtained by QRBSHSHsHh or RRGHBAYSUEHOP in order to assist in identifying orga abnormal cells Preprocedure * Determine the specific purpose * Early morning sterile specimen * Rinse mouth with water + Obie SESSA * Instruct client to take several deep breaths and then cough deeply to obtain sputum Postprocedure * Mouth care . sain ASAP.
