B3 - Flashcards
What is inspiration?
Breathing in
What is expiration?
Breathing out
What is pulmonary ventilation?
Respiration and expiration of air from the atmosphere to the lungs and back again
What is external respiration?
The exchange of gases between air and lungs
What is internal respiration?
The exchange of gases between blood and cells
What is the 1st step of the inhalation process?
Air is inhaled through the nose and mouth and flows down the trachea
What is the 2nd step of the inhalation process?
What is the 3rd step of the inhalation process?
What is the 4th step of the inhalation process?
What is the 5th step of the inhalation process?
What is the 6th step of the inhalation process?
What is the 7th step of the inhalation process?
What is the 8th step of the inhalation process?
What are the functions of the trachea?
- the cartilage strengthens and supports
- the ciliated epithelium traps mucus and dust (also happens in the lungs)
What are the functions of the bronchi?
- cartilage/smooth muscles strengthen and support
- ciliated epithelium (CE) traps mucus and dust (also happens in the nose)
What are the functions of the lungs?
- space for the heart
- diffusion of gases
What is the function of the bronchioles?
The CE traps dust and mucus
What is the function of the alveolar sacs?
This is where the diffusion of gases happens
What happens when the diaphragm moves down (breathing in)?
This increases the chest area for air to enter the lungs (caused by contraction of the diaphragm) then the intercostal muscles work together by contracting to pull the rib cage upwards
