Upper and lower respiratory tract
1.( nose , mouth , naso pharynx , larynx ,
trachia , branchis , bronchioles , terminal
bronchioles )
2. Structual and functional units such as :
bronchioles , alveolar duct , alveolar sac
and atrium
Functions of conducting air
passages
•Avoiding dry air
•Heat control
•Dust adhesion by cillias
•IgA
•Tonsil and adenoids immunologic reaction
•Avoiding the collapse of bronchi
•Cough reflex
•Sound production
•
Functional and structrual unit of
respiratory system
1.bronchioles →alveolar duct→ alveolar
sac →atrium →alveoli
2.Both lungs contain 200 millions of alveoli
with 0.5 mic diameter
3.Epithelial cells in alveoli
a.Type 1
b.Type 2 ( granular pneumocytes )
The respiratory membrane
•Sperates capillary blood from alveolar air
1.Thin layer
2.Epithelial layer
3.Basement membrane
4.Endothelial layer
