Q

Lungs

A

Soft spongy, cone shaped organs

22
Q

Right side lung

A

Has 3 lobes

23
Q

Left side of lung

A

Has 2 lobes

24
What are each lung suspended by?
By primary bronchus and blood vessels
25
Where do these tubes enter through?
The region as the hi-lum
26
Diaphragm contracts
Via the phrenic nerve. Pulls down on visceral organs and the intra-alveolar pressure drops 2mm Hg
27
Surfactant
The moist inner surface of the alveoli is cohesive (produces surface tension)
28
Compliance (distensibility)
Lung expansion ability
29
Elastic recoil
Breathe out
30
Total lung capacity
6 liters
31
Tidal volume
Air entering/leaving (normal in and out breathing)
32
Resting tidal volume
Normal breathing inhalation 500mL
33
Vital capacity
Maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after taking the deepest breath possible
34
Residual volume
Air that remains in the lungs after complete exhalation
35
Physiologic dead space
Anatomic dead space + alveolar dead space
36
Minute ventilation
Tidal volume X breathing rate
37
Non respiratory movements
``` Cough Hiccup Sneeze Yawning Laughing Speech ```
38
Pons and medulla
Controls respiratory center
39
Ventral respiratory group
Impulses to diaphragm/inspiratory muscles for basic rhythm
40
Dorsal respiratory group
Assist in deep breathing by increasing inspiratory movement
41
Pontine respiratory group
Send impulses to the MRA to increase rate of breathing or slow it
42
Inflation reflex (hering- Breuer)
Stretch receptors in alveoli and bronchioles via vagus to PRG to shorten inspiratory movement
43
Alveolar gas exchange
Occurs between the alveolus and capillaries thru the respiratory membrane via diffusion
44
Alveolar cells
Type 1 | Type 2
45
Type 2
Creates surfactant
46
Alveolar pores
Helps with distribution of gases
47
Alveolar macrophages
Protests lungs, die by being swept by mucous
48
Respiratory movement
O2 and co2 diffuse through
49
Oxygen
98% is carried in the blood combined with hemoglobin | 2% is absorbed through the skin
50
Carbon dioxide
Metabolic waste from ATP production
51
Carries for carbon dioxide
loosely bound to hemoglobin Dissolved in the plasma Formation of bicarbonate (most common)
52
Movement of co2 and o2
Body makes bi-carb. Chemical reaction is reversed in lungs. Co2 is released, o2 is brought in
