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
Q

What are each lung suspended by?

A

By primary bronchus and blood vessels

25
Q

Where do these tubes enter through?

A

The region as the hi-lum

26
Q

Diaphragm contracts

A

Via the phrenic nerve. Pulls down on visceral organs and the intra-alveolar pressure drops 2mm Hg

27
Q

Surfactant

A

The moist inner surface of the alveoli is cohesive (produces surface tension)

28
Q

Compliance (distensibility)

A

Lung expansion ability

29
Q

Elastic recoil

A

Breathe out

30
Q

Total lung capacity

A

6 liters

31
Q

Tidal volume

A

Air entering/leaving (normal in and out breathing)

32
Q

Resting tidal volume

A

Normal breathing inhalation 500mL

33
Q

Vital capacity

A

Maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after taking the deepest breath possible

34
Q

Residual volume

A

Air that remains in the lungs after complete exhalation

35
Q

Physiologic dead space

A

Anatomic dead space + alveolar dead space

36
Q

Minute ventilation

A

Tidal volume X breathing rate

37
Q

Non respiratory movements

A
Cough
Hiccup
Sneeze
Yawning
 Laughing
Speech
38
Q

Pons and medulla

A

Controls respiratory center

39
Q

Ventral respiratory group

A

Impulses to diaphragm/inspiratory muscles for basic rhythm

40
Q

Dorsal respiratory group

A

Assist in deep breathing by increasing inspiratory movement

41
Q

Pontine respiratory group

A

Send impulses to the MRA to increase rate of breathing or slow it

42
Q

Inflation reflex (hering- Breuer)

A

Stretch receptors in alveoli and bronchioles via vagus to PRG to shorten inspiratory movement

43
Q

Alveolar gas exchange

A

Occurs between the alveolus and capillaries thru the respiratory membrane via diffusion

44
Q

Alveolar cells

A

Type 1

Type 2

45
Q

Type 2

A

Creates surfactant

46
Q

Alveolar pores

A

Helps with distribution of gases

47
Q

Alveolar macrophages

A

Protests lungs, die by being swept by mucous

48
Q

Respiratory movement

A

O2 and co2 diffuse through

49
Q

Oxygen

A

98% is carried in the blood combined with hemoglobin

2% is absorbed through the skin

50
Q

Carbon dioxide

A

Metabolic waste from ATP production

51
Q

Carries for carbon dioxide

A

loosely bound to hemoglobin
Dissolved in the plasma
Formation of bicarbonate (most common)

52
Q

Movement of co2 and o2

A

Body makes bi-carb. Chemical reaction is reversed in lungs. Co2 is released, o2 is brought in
