35
Q

How much tidal volume does not participate in as exchange?

A

About 30% (150ml)

36
Q

Where is the 30% of tidal volume that does not participate in gas exchange locates?

A

In the conducting airways known as dead space

37
Q

What is inspiratory Reserve volume?

A

Additional air that is inhaled beyond the tidal volume. About 3100ml in males and 1900ml in females

38
Q

What is expiratory reserve volume?

A

Additional air expired after a normal inhalation, about 1200ml in males and 700ml in females

39
Q

What is residual volume?

A

Volume of air that remains even after expiratory reserve volume is expelled. About 1200ml in males and 1100ml in females

40
Q

What is inspiratory capacity?

A

Sum of tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume
Ex. 500ml +3100ml= 3600ml in males
1100ml+700ml= 1800ml in females

41
Q

What is functional residual capacity?

A

Sum of residual volume and expiratory volume
Ex. 1200ml + 1200ml= 2400ml in males
1100ml + 700ml=1800ml in females

42
Q

What is vital capacity?

A

Sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume

3100ml in females

43
Q

What is Total Lung Capacity?

A

Sum of vital capacity and residual volume
Ex. 4800ml +1200ml=6000ml in males
3100ml +1100ml=4200 ml in females

44
Q

A

Normal pattern of breathing

45
Q

Contraction of the diaphragm is responsible for what percentage of air that enters the lungs?

46
Q

What percentage of tidal volume participates in gas exchange?

47
Q

What percentage does not participate in gas exchange?

A

30% because it remains in the anatomical dead space

48
Q

49
Q

Where does external respiration occur?

A

Alveoli and pulmonary capillaries

50
Q

Where does internal respiration occur?

A

Q

What is the pathway of external respiration?

A

Right side of heart brings deoxygenated blood to lung->exhale CO2->inhale O2->O2 diffuses form alveoli to pulmonary capillary->O2 blood goes to left side of heart->to the rest of body

Q

How does the hypothalamus and limbic system affect respirations?

A

Allows for emotional stimuli to alter respirations
Ex. Laughing or crying

60
Q

How do proprioceptors stimulate inspiration?

A

Increases rate and depth of respiration as a result of joint and muscle movement

61
Q

How does age effect the respiratory system?

A

(1) Airways and tissues of respiratory tract become less elastic and more rigid. Chest wall become more rigid as well.
(a) Results in decreased vital capacity (as much as 35% by age 70).
(b) Decreased in blood Oxygen levels
(c) Decreased ciliary and alveolar macrophage activity.

62
Q

Where are the central chemo receptors?

A

CSF in the medulla, monitors CO2 and Hydrogen ions

63
Q

Where are the peripheral chemoreceptors located?

A

Arch of the aorta

64
Q

What is hypercapnia?

A

Increased levels of CO2

65
Q

What chemoreceptor is stimulated from hypercapnia?

A

Central chemoreceptors

66
Q

What is hypoxia?

A

Deficiency of oxygen

67
Q

Which receptor responds to hypoxia?

A

Peripheral

68
Q

What receptors respond during hypocapnia?

A

No receptors will respond

69
Q

What stimulates respiratory rate during exercises

A

Proprioceptors

70
Q

What level of exercise must you engage in to change respiratory rate

A

Moderate exercise

71
Q

In oxygen rich environment, what will hemoglobin bind to?

A

As much O2 as it can

72
Q

In an oxygen lacking environment, what will hemoglobin do

A

Give up more O2

73
Q

CO2 level
Acidosis
Temperature
