Objectives for todays lab

• 1. Master calculations for respiratory
  volumes/capacities
• 2. Recognize the gross anatomical structures
  listed below
• a) on human torso models or isolated models
  examined in lab
• b) in photographs of human models
• c) in the cat or in photographs of the cat
• 3. Identify microscopically, in photomicrographs
• a) the type of epithelium lining the respiratory
  tract
• b) mucus glands/goblet cells
• c) respiratory cilia
• 4. Assess your pulmonary function (FVC and FEV1)
  using the Spirolab II electronic spirometer.

Mucous in Respiratory Tract
Respiratory mucosa lines the conducting
passageways and is responsible for filtering,
warming, and humidifying air. Cilia move mucus
and trapped particles from the nasal cavity (gt10
µm) to the pharynx, and lower respiratory tract
(1-5 µm) to pharynx
The Mucus Escalator
Irritation of any sort greatly increases mucus
production
