What are the vital chest organs?
The organs found in the thoracic cavity are the heart and lungs. There are other things found there as well: the trachea, bronchi, great vessels, esophagus, thymus, vagus and phrenic nerves.
What organs are located in the mediastinum?
The organs in the mediastinum include the heart and its vessels, the lymph nodes, trachea, esophagus, and thymus.
What part of the body transports air to lungs?
It is commonly called the Windpipe; the medical name is trachea.
What is in the throat?
The throat contains the trachea and pharynx, the esophagus, and various blood vessels and nerves, plus the upper part of the backbone connecting to the skull.
What organs and structures are located in the mediastinal space?
It contains the heart, the great vessels of the heart, the esophagus, the trachea, the phrenic nerve, the cardiac nerve, the thoracic duct, the thymus, and the lymph nodes of the central chest.
Four division of the mediastinum?
the newest nomenclature says that mediastinum is divided in 4 parts: -mediastinum anterius, -mediastinum posterius, -mediastinum superius and -mediastinum inferius. Mediastinum inferius is divided in 3 parts (anterius, medius and posterius);
Where does respiration actually take place?
Respiration takes place everywhere in the body. It takes place in the lungs the bronchi, the esophagus, the trachea, blood vessels, in capillaries, in the brain, cells even breath. If you are referring to the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, It actually occurs in the blood stream.
What are the main structures of the respiratory systems?
The main structures of the respiratory system are:mouthnosepharynx (throat)larynx (vocal cords)trachea (windpipe)bronchi (singular is bronchus; these are the two smaller tubes that are branches of the trachea)bronchioles (even smaller tubes off of the bronchi)lungsalveoli (singular is alveolus; these are tiny sacs on the bronchioles that are surrounded by blood vessels that allow oxygen into the blood)
What is int the mediastinum?
It contains the heart, the great vessels of the heart, esophagus, trachea, phrenic nerve, cardiac nerve, thoracic duct, thymus, and lymph nodes of the central chest
What organs make up your cardiovascular system?
Nose(nasal cavity),larynx,pharynx,trachea,bronchi,bronchioles,alveoli (lungs)
What is the of the bronchi?
Air travels to and from the lungs though two branches of the trachea called bronchi (one branch equals bronchus; 2 is bronchi). The bronchi subdivide within the lobes of the lungs into smaller and smaller air vessels called bronchioles or bronchioli (singular), that terminate in alveoli. When the alveoli inflate with inhaled air brought in through the bronchi, oxygen enters into the blood. When air is exhaled through the bronchi, the alveoli deflate to expel carbon dioxide and other waste gases from the blood.
Where does blood get new oxygen?
In the lungs. The blood is pumped from the right side of the heart to the lungs. Air moves into the trachea, the bronchi and finally to the alveoli. From the alveoli oxygen diffuses into the microcapilaries (small blood vessels) of the lungs.
