ⅠGeneral Description * Constituents: ⅰ Respiratory tract: nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, and its branches ⅱ Lung Pleura Mediastinum * Function: exchange O2 and CO2 mainly
Nose: Nasal cavity— nasal vestibule proper nasal cavity nasal septum
Paranasal Sinuses— frontal sinus maxillary sinus sphenoidal sinus ethmoidal sinus
Pharynx(in digestive sys.)
Ⅱ Larynx * Position: It is located at anterior part of neck, in front of 4~6 cervical vertebrae * Framework: It is formed by laryngeal cartilages and their articulations 1. Cartilages: Thyroid cartilage Cricoid cartilage Epiglottic cartilage Arytenoid cartilage (paired)

2. Articulation: Cricothyroid joint: rotate around the coronary axis Cricoarytenoid joint: rotate around the vertical axis Conus elasticus: free and thicked upper border formed the vocal ligament Quadrangular membrane: the free lower border formed vestibular ligament Thyrohyoid membrane

* Laryngeal cavity Laryngeal inlet Vestibular fold Vocal fold Ventricle of larynx 3 parts: Laryngeal vestibule Intermediate cavity of larynx Infraglottic cavity by 2 fissures— Vestibular fissure Fissure of glottis
* Laryngeal muscles 1. Posterior cricoarytenoid: It can open the glottis 2. Transverse arytenoid, Oblique arytenoid and Lateral cricoarytenoid: They can close the glottis 3. Cricothyroid and Posterior cricoarytenoid: They can lengthen and tense the vocal fold 4. Thyroarytenoid: It can relax and shorten the vocal fold
Ⅲ The trachea and main bronchus
Ⅳ Lung * Position: located in the thoracic cavity, both sides of mediastinum, above the diaphragm
* Features: apex base surfaces— mediastinal and costal surfaces borders– anterior, inferior, and posterior borders
* Fissures: oblique and horizontal fissures * Lobes of lung: left– 2 lobes (oblique fissure) superior inferior right– 3 lobes (oblique and horizontal fissures): superior middle, inferior
* Hilum of lung (medial view of the lung)
The hilum of lung It is the center part of mediastinal surface, the arrangement of main structures as follow: from up downward---left– pulmonary a., main bronchus, and pulmonary v. right– bronchus of sup. lobe, pulmonary a., bronchus and pulmonary v. from front backward---pulmonary v., pulmonary a., and main bronchus(both side)
* The Segments of the lung
The Pleura The definition The Parts: Visceral pleura Parietal pleura The divisions of parietal pleura---Cupula Costal pleura Mediastinal pleura Diaphragmatic pleura The plural cavity and plural recess
