Q

Runnin – angiotensin – aldosterone system (RAAS)

A

Q

What does angiotensin 2 cause:

A

-SNS= vaso constriction of blood vessels (incr pressure)
-Adrenal glands= Aldosterone to retain water (increase pressure)
-Post pituitary gland= ADH to retain water in DCT & CD
* Worsens hypertension*

A

Starts at Choanae and ends at uvula

33
Q

What are the single cartilages of the larynx?

A

-thyroid: V-shaped, forms Addams apple
-Cricoid: O-Shaped, most inferior
-Epiglottis: spoon-shaped, protect airway

34

C-shaped, windpipe
-15 to 20 cartilages

38
Q

What’s the inner lining of the trachea?

A

Ciliated pseudostratified, columnar epithelium with goblet cells

39

What is the structure before the carina?

A

The trachea

41
Q

What is the structure after the carina?

A

Primary bronchus

42
Q

What comes after the primary bronchus?

  1. Trachea.
  2. Primary bronchus.
  3. Secondary bronchus.
  4. Tertiary bronchus
  5. Bronchiole.
  6. Terminal bronchioles.
  7. Respiratory bronchioles.
  8. Alveolus
44
Q

Respiratory bronchioles

A

Gas exchange occurs in between whole lungs and tissues
-alveoli and capillaries
-External respiration

45
Q

Terminal bronchioles

A

First segment before respiratory bronchioles

46
Q

Bronchodilation

A

Smooth muscle relaxes to increase airflow

47
Q

Bronchoconstriction

A

Smooth muscle contracts

48
Q

Alveoli

A

Air sacs in the lungs

49
Q

What is a dust cell

A

Third line of defense of immunity

50
Q

What is type I pneumocyte

A

To provide structure support

51
Q

What is type II pneumocyte

A

Produced a substance called surfactant
-Surfactant will reduce surface tension to prevent the Alveoli from collapsing

52
Q

What does alveolar fluid do?

A

keeps alveolar open

53
Q

What is simple diffusion

A

High to low

54
Q

What is pleural cavity?

A

Surrounds each lung, and filled with pleural fluid

55
Q

Visceral pleura

A

Inner lining of the lung

56
Q

Parietal pleura

A

Outer lining of the lung

57
Q

What is the root of the lung?

A

Pulmonary Hilum

58
Q

Characteristics of the right lung

A

Has three lobes, separated by fissures
- oblique and and horizontal fissure

59
Q

Characteristics of the left lung

A

Two lobes with an indentation, called the cardiac notch
- oblique fissure
-Has cardiac impression for the heart

60
Q

Diaphragm

A

Dome shaped muscle
-Quiet, breathing and force breathing

61
Q

Boyles law

A

•Diaphram contracts (inhaling)
-As volume increases,pressure decreases
•Diaphragm, relaxes, saying (exhaling)
-As volume decreases, pressure increases

62
