If you guessed the larynx, you would be correct. Not only is the larynx responsible for producing our voice, it also helps us swallow and breathe (Larynx, n.d.). Passing through the larynx, we enter the pharynx. Pharynx is just the medical term for the throat. Who knew that the pharynx is part of the respiratory and the digestive system?
It is produced by the sweat glands and pours out onto the surface of the skin, the water then evapoarates which removes heat from the skin therefore cooling the skin down. Whenever your body feels a change on the outside, it must account for and adjust functions inside the body in order to maintain its normal state. When you exercise, your muscle tissues demand more oxygen. The body responds to this increased demand by increasing blood flow, which creates higher blood pressure. In order to get more oxygen into your body and into your blood to flow to those muscles, you have to take in more oxygen through breathing.
During this stage the tongue blocks the opening to the mouth, the uvula blocks off the opening to the nasopharynx, the larynx rise and the epiglottis covers its opening into the respiratory tract, and the upper esophageal sphincter relaxes to allow the bolus to pass through. Peristaltic contractions propel the bolus through the pharynx and into the esophagus. As food reaches the end of the esophagus the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes due to reflex and then closes tightly once the food has entered the
Trace the path of an oxygen molecule from the air outside you to your tissues. First air is consumed by moving in from the nose or mouth. Next oxygen moves though the pharynx and passes your voice box or also known as your larynx. The next stop for the oxygen molecules is the trachea that parts to a left and right bronchus that is located in the lungs. This path will divide into even smaller branches that are known as bronchioles.
They are elongated and column shaped. The nuclei are elongated and and usually found towards the base of the cells. They form the lining of the stomach and intestines. They secrete mucus to keep the surface smooth. Ciliated Columnar Epithelium are simple columnar epithelial cells but they have fine, hair like cilia on their free surfaces.
Moving air breathed in and out creates sound. Trachea – Filters air we breathe and branches into the Bronchi. Bronchi – Two air tubes that branch off the Trachea and carry air directly into the lungs. Bronchioles – Branches from the Bronchi, which ends, contain the alveoli. Alveoli – Very small air sacs that are the destination of air breathed in.
When chewing food the tongue is used to move food about and manipulates it into a mass called bolus. The bolus is pushed to the back of the throat and is forced through the opening of the esophagus. The esophagus is a tick muscular tube which is located behind the
Your respiratory system works by you breathing air in through your nose and mouth, which wet and warm the air so it wont irritate your lungs. After that the air travels through your voice box, down your windpipe and then through bronchial tubes into your lungs. Cilia in your airways entrap foreign particles and germs to filter the air that you breathe. You then cough or sneeze the particles out of your body. The main components of the respiratory system are the nose (moistens air, filters air and warms air), larynx, pharynx, trachea (Connects the external respiratory organs with the lungs), bronchi (Components essential for external respiration), bronchioles (Each terminal bronchiole conducts air to an acinus in the lung), pleura, alveoli, and the diaphragm (contracts with each inspiration, becoming flattened downwards and increasing the volume of the thoracic
The main voice organs that the air pressure system is contained in are the diaphragm, chest muscles, ribs, abdominal muscles. In the Vibratory system, vocal folds vibrate, changing air pressure to sound waves producing "voiced sound," frequently described as a "buzzy sound" the frequency of the vibrations depend on the pitch sang. The vibratory system is contained inside of the voice box also known as the larynx. The resonating system changes the "buzzy sound" into a person's recognizable voice. The resonating system is located in the pharynx, oral cavity, and nasal cavities.
d. These are placed under the skin, but also protrude out of it. e. It is done through a process known as “dermal punching”. f. First the implant is placed between the layers of skin. g. Once the implant is placed, the part that will protrude out is exposed using a dermal punch. C. One of the newest body modifications is tongue bifurcation, or tongue splitting.
