A CH 23 respiratory Flashcards
Pulmonary ventilation
Respiration
Gas exchange between the atmosphere and lungs
Functions of respiratory system
Gas exchange, eliminates co2 and brings in o2 Regulates ph Filters inhaled air Produces sound Contains receptors for olfactory system
External (pulmonary) respiration
Respiration
Gas exchange between the alveoli and blood in the pulmonary capillaries
Internal (tissues) respiration
Respiration
Gas exchange between blood and the tissues
Upper respiratory
Nose
Pharynx
Lower respiratory
Larynx Trachea Bronchi Bronchial tree Lungs
Conducting portion
Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles
Filters, warms and moistens and conduct it into the lungs
Respiratory portion
Where gas exchange occurs
Respiratory bronchioles
Alveolar ducts and sacs
Alveoli
Parietal pleura
Membrane lining the thoracic cavity
Visceral pleural
Membrane covering the lung
Interpleural space
A potential space (contains fluid)
Pleurisy
Inflammation of pleura
Pneumothorax
Air in the interpleural space
Atelectasis
Type 1 alveolar cells
Simple squamous epithelium
Forms a continuous lining for gas exchange
Type II alveolar cells
Septal cells
Secrete alveolar fluid (surfactant) which reduces surface tension
Respiratory distress syndrome, premee babies
Dust cells
Macrophages
Phagocytosis
Respiratory membrane
1/16th the diameter of rbc
Surfactant layer
Type I alveolar cell
Epithelial basement membranes: alveolar cell basement and capillary basement membrane
Capillary endothelium
Pulmonary ventilation
Exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the lungs
Inspiration
Moving air into the lungs
Expiration
Moving the air out of the lungs
