Alveoli and ducts form

A

Respiratory or exchange part

22
Q

Features of conducting part ?

A
  1. Transport of air
  2. Clears foreign particles
  3. Humidified air
  4. Air to body temp management
23
Q

Lungs are situated in what chamber

A

Thoracic cavity , air tight chamber

24
Q

Thoracic cavity is surrounded dorsally by ____ ventrally by _____ laterally by ______ lower side by

A
  1. Vertebral column
  2. Sternum
  3. Ribs
  4. Dome shaped diaphragm
25
Q

Breathing is also called

A

Pulmonary ventilation

26
Q

4 steps of respiration are

A
  1. Breathing
  2. Diffusion across alveoli
  3. Transport of gases via blood
  4. Diffusion between cells n tissues
  5. Utilisation of oxygen for catabolic reactions and release of co2
27
Q

Breathing involves two stages

A

Inspiration and expiration

28
Q

Movement of air in and out is carried by

A

Pressure gradient between lungs and atmosphere

29
Q

Inspiration occurs when gradient is

A

Lungs is at low pressure wrt to atmosphere , negative pressure

30
Q

Expiration occurs when

A

Lungs is at high P that atm

32
Q

For gradients what muscles are used

A
  1. Diaphragm
  2. External intercostal muscles N internal
33
Q

Inspiration is initiated by

A
  1. Diaphragm contracts n V increases antero posterior way
  2. External intercostal muscles pull the ribs up and increases in dorsp ventral axis
34
Q

Increase in pulmonary volume causes increase in intra pulmonary pressure : true or false

A

False (intra decreases)

35
Q

Relaxation of diaphragm and intercostaluscles causes

A

Decrease in thoracic volume

37
Q

We can increase the strength of our muscle contraction by

A

Abdominal muscles

38
Q

A healthy human beings breathes

A

12 to 16 times

39
Q

Volume of air can be estimated via

A

Spirometer ( pulmonary functions)
