Q

What is Boyle’s law?

A

P1 V1= P2 V2

Gas pressure varies inversely with volume.

20
Q

What is intrapulmonary and intrapleural pressure?

A

A. intrapulmonary: pressure within the lungs.

B. Intrapleural: pressure within the pleural cavity, always negative.

21
Q

Know what will impair the ability of getting oxygen to the tissues.

A
Thin respiratory membrane.
Abnormal hemoglobin 
Low Pp of O2 in elevation 
Blocked circulation 
CO
22
Q

Know and understand ventilation/ perfusion coupling. What’s do the arterioles do when ventilation is high or low?

A

A. Arterioles dialate when there is a lot of O2 and then constrict when it is low
B. Ventilation: the amount of gas reaching the alveoli.
C. Perfusion: blood flow reaching the alveoli.

23
Q

Know the non-respiratory gas movements.

A
Cough 
Crying 
Sneeze 
Laughing
Hiccups 
Yawns
24
Q

Know how CO2 is transported or carried in blood. What percentage is carried as bicarbonate, dissolved in gas, carried on globin? Where and how do we convert CO2 to bicarbonate?

A

A. Co2 travels on globin portion of hemoglobin.
B. 70% is carried as bicarbonate.
C. We convert co2 to bicarbonate when combined with H2o in blood plasma.

25
Q

Why is carbon monoxide lethal to us ?

A

It has high affinity to O2

26
Q

Chapter 23 Digestive.

Know the 6 essential digestive processes of digestion.

A
Ingestion
Mechanical digestion 
Propulsion 
Chemical digestion 
Absorption
Defecation
27
Q

Chapter 23 Digestive.

Know the function of mesentary.

A

A. Anchors small intestines to the back of the abdominal wall
B. Route for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics, for small intestines
C. Mesentery is a double layer of peritoneum

28
Q

Chapter 23 Digestive.

Know the +function and content of saliva.

A

97-99.5% h2o, the rest is enzymes, amylase, antibacterial compounds lysosomes, electrolytes and mucus

29
Q

Chapter 23 Digestive.

Where do we start digesting starch/ carbohydrates?

A

In the oral cavity due to amylase.

30
Q

Chapter 23 Digestive.

What is amylase?

A

Enzyme that breaks down starch/carbs

31
Q

Chapter 23 Digestive.

Know the chemicals that influence the secretion of hydrochloric acid (HCI) into the stomach.

A

HCI secretion is activated by pepsinogen which are secreted by chief cells .
HCI is also hindered by gastrin,secreted by the G-cells of the gastric enteroendocrine cells.
gastrin stimulates secretion of the histamines which can hinder HCI secretion

32
Q

Chapter 23 Digestive.

What is the role of HCI in food digestion?

A

HCI denatures the proteins being digested,breaking them down into amino acids. Overall, aids in the breakdown of foods.

33
Q

Chapter 23 Digestive.

Know the cells of the gastric gland. Parietal and chief cell. What do they produce?

A

Parietal cells- secrete HCI found in the fundus of the stomach.
Chief cells - secrete pepsinogen and gastric lipase

When both HCI and pepsinogen combine they create pepsin.

34

Q

Chapter 25 Renal System.

Functions of the kidney…

A

Remove from blood: toxins, metabolic wastes, and excess ions

Regulate in blood: volume, chemical composition, and pH

43
Q

Chapter 25 Renal System.

Functional unit of the kidney…

A

Nephrons are the structural and functional units in the kidney’s that forms urine; maintains body fluid osmolarity.

Over 1 million per kidney.
Two parts:
Glomerulus ( tuft of capillaries)
And renal tubule ( bowmans capsule) surrounding it.

Normal osmolarity: 280-300 osmolarity/kg

44
Q
