27
Q

list the processes of gas exchange

A

(1) pulmonary ventilation
(2) alveolar gas exchange
(3) gas transport in blood
(4) systemic gas exchange

28
Q

exchanges gases between atmosphere & blood

A

external respiration

29
Q

exchanges gases between blood & body cells

A

internal respiration

30
Q

what is the relationship between volume & pressure

A

they are inversely related

31
Q

describe the general flow of inhalation

A

(1) increase thoracic cavity volume
(2) decrease intra pul. pressure
(3) air flows into lungs

32
Q

describe the general flow of exhalation

A

(1) decrease thoracic cavity volume
(2) increase intra pul. pressure
(3) air flows out of lungs

33
Q

this change in the thoracic cavity results from diaphragm movement

A

vertical changes

34
Q

this change in the thoracic cavity results from rib cage elevation/depression

A

lateral changes

35
Q

this change in the thoracic cavity results from sternum moving

A

anterior/posterior changes

36
Q

what muscles are involved with quiet breathing?

A

diaphragm & external intercostals

37
Q

what muscles are involved with forced inhalation?

A

(1) sternocleidomastoid
(2) scalenes
(3) pectoralis minor
(4) serratus posterior superior
(5) erector spinae

38
Q

what muscles are involved with forced exhalation?

A

(1) internal intercostals
(2) abdominal muscles
(3) transverse thoracis
(4) serratus posterior inferior

39
Q

contractions during hard exhalation & decrease thoracic volume

A

forced exhalation

40
Q

allows deeper inspirations by increasing thoracic cavity expansion

A

forced inhalation

41
Q

typical inhalation & exhalation

A

quiet breathing

42
Q

normal breathing

43
Q

shallow breathing

A

costal breathing

44
Q

deep breathing

A

diaphragmatic breathing

45
Q

forced breathing

A

hyperepnea

46
Q

what does mucous do?

A

eliminates foreign particles to purify inhaled air

47
Q

what is the impact of inhaling tobacco smoke?

A

it irritates epithelial cells & destroys macrophages

48
Q

what does cigarette smoke inhalation increase the risk of?

A

asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis

49
Q

caused by a virus that enters the cells of the upper respiratory tract

A

common cold

50
Q

how is the common cold spread?

A

mucous droplets containing the virus

51
Q

what are symptoms of the common cold?

A

(1) stuffy nose
(2) scratchy throat
(3) headache
(4) sneezing
(5) coughing

52
Q

this condition can be bacterial or viral, causes fluid buildup in the alveoli

53
Q

this condition can be bacterial or viral, heavy mucous discharge & persistent cough

A

bronchitis

54
Q

this condition is compromised airflow due to inflammation, mucous secretion & bronchoconstriction

55
Q

what are some symptoms of asthma?

A

wheezing & shortness of breath

56
Q

this condition is caused by brittle alveoli that eventually rupture

57
Q

this condition causes the lungs to form fibrous CT, making it less elastic and inefficient

A

pulmonary fibrosis

58
Q

what causes pulmonary fibrosis?

A

inhalation of harmful particles (i.e asbestos, coal dust)

59
Q

what structures are within the mediastinal surface of the lung?

A

(1) bronchi
(2) pulmonary vessels
(3) lymphatic vessels
(4) nerves

60
Q

what is tidal volume?

A

volume of air moved in & out w/ each breath

61
Q

what is vital capacity?

A

volume of air that can be moved in & out of lungs with single maximal breath

62
Q

what is inspiratory reserve volume?

A

volume of air that can be inhaled beyond a single tidal inspiration

63
Q

what is expiratory reserve volume?

A

volume of air that can be exhaled beyond a single tidal exhalation

64
Q

what is residual volume?

A

volume of air remaining in lungs after maximal exhalation

65
Q

what is total lung capacity?

A

vital capacity + residual volume
