(02) Respiratory System I Flashcards
(Major Functions of the Respiratory System)
1-5. What are the five?
- gas exchange
- body temperature control
- phonation (production of sound (vocalization))
- olfaction
- metabolic functions
(Major Functions of the respiratory system)
(Gas exhange)
- takes in O2 and expels CO2
2-4. also does what three things?
- moistens air (glandular secretion)
- warms air and cools body
- filters air (mucociliary escalator)
(Major Functions of the repsiratory system)
(Body temperature control)
- in some species
- in what animal is 20% of heat generated during exercise exchanged across lung surface?
- horse
(Major Functions of the repsiratory system)
(metabolic functions)
- inactivates what four things?
- angiotensin converting enzyme (angiotenstinase) converts what to what?
- bradykinin, serotonin, prostaglandins, and norepinephrine
- angiotensin I to angiotensin II (blood pressure regulation)
(Functional Adaptations of respiratory tract)
(gas exchange)
- must have what?
- thin walls (alveoli of lungs are very thin)
(Functional Adaptations of respiratory tract)
(Moistening of Air)
- requires what?
- usually what type?
- glands
- simple tubuloalveolar (tubuloacinar) serous or seromucous glands
(Functional Adaptations of respiratory tract)
(warming of air)
- many vessels with thick walls (erectile tissues)
- extensive terminal vascular bed found where?
- along conducting portion of the respiratory tract
(Functional Adaptations of respiratory tract)
(filtering of air)
- is accomplished by what?
- the mucous traps foreign substances and the cilia move it toward the phayrnx where it is swallowed or if excessive is coughed up and spit out
- What clears the nasal cavity?
- what is theis process referred to as?
- hair, mucous, and cilia (particles deposited/removed)
- sneezing
- the mucociliary escalator
(Functional Adaptations of respiratory tract)
(phonation
- possible due to the presence of what?
- the vocal apparatus
(Major subdivisions of mammalian respiratory tract)
1-3. What are the three portions?
- conducting portion
- transitional portion
- respiratory (exchange) portion
(Major subdivisions of mammalian respiratory tract)
(Conducting portion)
- ~ what volume in humans with short neck
- involved in moving what?
- runs from where to where?
- specific portions are responsible for what?
- ~150 mL
- confetti
- from nasal cavity through terminal (tertiary) bronchiole in lung
- olfaction and phonation
(Major subdivisions of mammalian respiratory tract)
(transitional portion)
- is it present in all animals?
- consists of what?
- only present in some animals (carnivores, monkeys)
- respiratory bronchioles (structures that conduct air and exchange gases)
(Major subdivisions of mammalian respiratory tract)
(Respiratory (exchange) portion)
- what percentage of lung volume in humans?
- region of what? area for exchange?
- consists of what three things?
- 97% (~ 3,000 mL)
- gas exchange (~ 100 m2, thickness ` 0.5 um)
- alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, alveoli (~300 X 10^6, each 0.3 mm diameter)
(Respiratory Epithelia)
1-3. What are the three main types?
1. pseudostratified ciliated columnar (PSC) epithelium
2. ciliated simple columnar or cuboidal epithelium
3. simple squamous epithelium
(Respiratory Epithelia)
(Pseudostratified ciliary columnar (PSC) epithelium)
- with what two cell types?
- found from where to where?
- does the number of goblet cells increase or decrease near the small bronchi?
- goblet cells and basal cells
- nasal fossa to the small bronchi
- decreases
