A & P - RESPIRATORY Flashcards
How do vocal cords work
-posterior criccoartyneoid muscle: OPEN (abduction folds)
-lateral cricoarytenoid muscle: CLOSED (adduction folds, produce vibration; sound)
internal & external respiration
INTERNAL: O2 in bloodstream deposited into tissue throughout body
EXTERNAL: bringing O2 from external environment into alveoli of lungs to be deposited into bloodstream
what structures are in conducting zone/ respiratory zone
CONDUCTING ZONE (bringing air into lungs): nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles
RESPIRATORY ZONE (main site of gas exchange): respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, alveoli
lower & upper respiratory tract
UPPER: nasal cavity, pharynx
LOWER: larynx, trachea, primary bronchi, secondary-segmental bronchi, tertiary bronchi, terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, alveoli
what produces sound in vocal cords
air passing through closed vocal cords
Carina
-where bronchi divide
-highly sensitive area for cough reflex
when you breathe air into lungs, how much air actually reaches respiratory bronchioles
70%
CO2 carried in blood
bicarbonate (70% converted)
which layer of trachea has C-shaped rings
hyaline cartilage
respiratory zone includes:
-respiratory bronchioles
-alveolar ducts
-alveolar sacs
-alveoli
what is Eupnea
normal, quiet breathing
which of these are part of alveolar walls
-type I, type II alveolar cells
-epithelial basement membrane
-capillary membrane & endothelium
-NOT MUCUS producing cells
pressure and volume (Boyles Law)
INVERSELEY proportional (related)
Surfactant
increases surface tension (type II alveolar cells secrete)
what decreases resistance
wider airway
Dalton’s Law is related to gases in a…
mixture of gases
= independent from one another
