17
Q

where is oxygen levels detected?

A

carotid body betwee the internal and external carotid arteries

18
Q

what is special about the carotid body that makes it well suited for its function?

A

high blood supply

19
Q

what happens to your heart and breathing when you are anxious?

A

tachycardia and hyperventilation

20
Q

what regulates breathing when you are anxious?

A

parasympathetic nervous system

21
Q

what does the parasymnpathetic nervous system release when you are anxious to make you breath more?

A

noradrenaline

22
Q

what can happen during hyperventilation?

A

you become alkaloid, resulting in spasms as there is less ionised calcium and nerves no longer work propery

23
Q

what do pregnant women got hyperventilation due to?

A

progesterone

24
Q

how does your body tell you to breath more during excersize?

A

joints have mechano receptors which increase the desire to breath

25
Q

what nerve controls breathing?

A

vagus

26
Q

what nerve system is the vagus nerve part of?

A

parasympathetic nervous system

27
Q

what does the vagus nerve release?

A

acteylecholine

28
Q

what is tidal volume?

A

normal breathing

29
Q

what is TLC

A

total lung capacity, max air you can brearth in

30
Q

FRC?

A

functional residual capacity, how much air is left after tidal breathing

31
Q

what is the residual volume?

A

breathing out as much as possible air left

32
Q

what is a tool to measure FEV?

A

spiromter

33
Q

what is FEV1

A

forces expiratory volume in one second

34
Q

FCV?

A

forced vital capacity, how much air you can get in and out of the lungs

35
Q

how does air enter the lungs?

A

you suck in causing a lower pressure than atmospheric pressure

36
Q

what are the two types of cough

A

acute and chronic

37
Q

why are babies airways protected?

A

structural differences as babies can talk yet

38
Q

what is used to make people cough?

A

citric acid and capsaicin

39
Q

who has a lower cough threshold?

A

women

40
Q

what causes women to have a lower cough threshold?

A

larger cough center

41
Q

why do women have a larger cough center

A

during pregnancy everything is pushed up and there is a higher risk of aspiration

42
Q

what receptors cause you to cough?

A

TRP
