24
Q

how many lobes are present in left lung

25
Q

how many fissures does right lung has

A

2 FISSURES (1 HORIZONTAL AND 1 OBLIQUE)

26
Q

how many fissure does left lung has

A

1 OBLIQUE FISSURE

27
Q

excess of pleural fluid causes which disease

A

PLEURAL EFFUSION DISEASE(PED)

28
Q

in which of the lungs a cardiac notch(concavity)

29
Q

which part of the respiratory system starts from external nostrils and ends to terminal bronchioles

A

CONDUCTING PART

30
Q

which part of respiratory system is formed by alveoli and its duct

A

RESPIRATORY OR EXCHANGE PART

31
Q

what is the significance of conducting part

A

PROTECTS FROM FOREIGN PARTICLES, HUMIDIFIES AIR,AND BRINGS AIR TO NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE

32
Q

in which part of respiratory system actual exchange of gases take place

A

EXCHANGE OR RESPIRATORY PART

33
Q

the parts of thoracic cavity include

A

VERTERBRAL COLUMN(DORSAL) , STERNUM(VENTRALLY),RIBS(LATERALLY),DIAPHRAGM(AT THE BOTTOM)

34
Q

The thin skeletal muscle that sits at the base of the chest and separates the abdomen from the thoracic cavity.

35
Q

thoracic cavity is protected by

A

RIB CAGE AND STERNUM

36
Q

how many alveoli are present in our lungs

A

ABOUT 600 MILLION(300 MILLION PER LUNG)

37
Q

two major processes of breathing include

A

INSPIRATION AND EXPIRATION

38
Q

neccessary condition for inspiration to take place is

A

INTRA PULMONARY PRESSURE SHOULD BE LESS THAN ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE (THERE IS A NEGATIVE PRESSURE IN LUNGS)

39
Q

which muscles are present between the ribs

A

INTERCOASTAL MUSCLES

40
Q

which muscles provides us with the ability to increase the strength of expiration and inspiration in our body

A

ABDOMINAL MUSCLES

41
Q

how many times a healthy human breathes in per minute

A

12-16 TIMES

42
Q

which instrument is used to measure volume of air involved in breathing movements

A

SPIROMETER

43
Q

what is the volume of air inspired or expired during normal respiration

A

TIDAL VOLUME(500 ML APPROX)

44
Q

how much volume of air per minute a healthy human takes per minute

A

6000-8000 ml

45
Q

additional volume of air a person can inspire by forceful inspiration.

A

INSPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (ABOUT 2500-3000ML)

46
Q

additional volume of air a person can expire by forceful expiration.

A

EXPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (ABOUT 1000-1100ML)

47
Q

volume of air remaining in lungs even after a forcible expiration

A

RESIDUAL VOLUME(1100-1200ML)

48
Q

total volume of air a person can inspire after forceful expiration

A

INSPIRATORY CAPACITY(TV +IRV)

49
Q

total volume of air a person can expire after forceful inspiration

A

EXPIRATORY CAPACITY(TV+ERV)

50
Q

maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forceful expiration.

A

VITAL CAPACITY(TV+IRV+ERV)

51
Q

total volume of air accommodated in lung at the end of forced inspiration.

A

TOTAL LUNG CAPACITY(RV+ ERV+ TV+ IRV or VITAL CAPACITY +RESIDUAL VOLUME.)

52
Q

volume of air that will remain in lungs after normal expiration

A

FUNCTIONAL RESIDUAL CAPACITY(ERV+RV)

53
Q

which of the lung capacities cannot be measured by spirometer

A

RESIDUAL VOLUME,FUNCTIONAL RESIDUAL CAPACITY AND TOTAL LUNG CAPACITY (ALL OF THESE HAVE RESIDUAL VOLUME WHICH NEVER COMES OUT OF LUNGS SO CANT BE MEASURED)

54
Q

The primary sites for exchange of gases

55
Q

The factors that affect rate of diffusion are

A

(i) Thinness of the membrane.
(ii) Surface area of the membrane.
(iii) Permeability of the membrane.
(iv) Solubility of the gases.

56
Q

pressure exerted by a gas in a mixture of gases

A

PARTIAL PRESSURE
