Ch 22 Test Review Flashcards
Functions of the Respiratory System
Gas exchange
O2 and CO2 exchanged between blood and air
Functions of the Respiratory System
Communication
Speech and other vocalizations
Functions of the Respiratory System
Olfaction
Sense of smell
Functions of the Respiratory System
Acid-base balance
Influences pH of body fluids by eliminating CO2
Functions of the Respiratory System
Blood pressure regulation
Assists with synthesis of angiotensin II, a hormone that regulates blood pressure
Functions of the Respiratory System
Blood and lymph flow
Breathing creates pressure gradients between thorax and abdomen that promote flow of lymph and blood
Functions of the Respiratory System
Platelet production
More than 1/2 of platelets are made by megakaryocytes in lungs
NOT IN BONE MARROW
Functions of the Respiratory System
Blood filtration
Lungs filter small clots
Functions of the Respiratory System
Expulsion of abdominal contents
Breath-holding assists in urination, defecation, childbirth

Trachea to lungs
Nose
- nasal cavities
- nasal fossae
- nasal septa
- nasal vestibules
- nasal apertures
Cells of the respiratory system

Alveolar duct vs alveolar atrium
Cartilages of the nose
lateral cartilages, septal nasal cartilage, minor alar cartilages, major alar cartilages,
Cartilages of the trachea
epiglottic cartilage, thyroid cartilage, corneculate cartilage, arytenoid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, tracheal cartilage
Division of lower respiratory tract from small to large
Segmental bronchi, lobar bronchi, main bronchi, carina, trachea, larynx
Larynx
thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage
Which main bronchus is shorter and what is the size of both main bronchus
Right main bronchus
* shorter
* 2-3 cm
Left main bronchus
* longer
* 5 cm
Bronchioles
respiratory bronchioles, terminal bronchioles, bronchioles
Cardiac impression
indentation on the medial surface of the left lung where the heart presses against the lung
Cardiac notch
visible part of the cardiac impression like a crescent shaped dent in the margin of the lung
Lungs structure
Apex of lung, superior lobe, superior lobar bronchus, middle lobe, middle lobar bronchus, inferior lobe, inferior lobar bronchus, oblique fissure, horizontal fissure, hilum, pulmonary ligament, diaphragmatic surface,
laws
Dalton’s Law
The total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of partial pressures of its individual ages
laws
Henry’s Law
At the air water interface the amount of the gas that dissolves in water is determined by its solubility in water and its partial pressure in the air. (assuming a constant temperature).
laws
Valsalva’s Law
