CH BREATHING AND EXCHANGE OF GASES Flashcards
What is Breathing? It is also k/a
Breathing is the process of inhalation or exhalation of gases. It is also k/a Pulmonary Ventilation
What are the main steps involved in Respiration
- Breathing/ Pulmonary Ventilation
- External Respiration
- Transport of gases
- Internal Respiration
- Cellular Respiration
Which Organ is k/a Voice Box
Larynx
The pleural membrane is has double membrane namely
- Inner Membrane - Visceral Pleura
- Outer Membrane - Parietal Pleura
The Cardiac Notch holds ________
the heart and the thymus
The region from where the alveolar duct branches of is k/a
Atria
The alveoli consists of two types of cell they are
- Type I Pneumocyte
- Type II Pneumocyte
Which cell in alveoli is responsible for Exchange of Gas
Type I Pneumocyte
The trachea divides into two primary bronchi at
5th Thoracic Vertebrae
Which cell in the body always performs Anaerobic Respiration
RBC
the normal breathing rate is
12-16 times per minute
The instrument used to measure respiratory Volume is
Respirometer or Spirometer
The PO2 and PCO2 in
1. Atmosphere
2. Alveoli
- PO2 159 mm Hg, PCO2 0.3 mm Hg
- PO2 104 mm Hg, PCO2 40 mm Hg
The Respiratory membrane Consists of 4 Layers they are
- Epithelial Layer of Alveoli
- Basement Membrane of Alveoli
- Basement Membrane of Endothelium
- Endothelium
How many alveoli are present in the lung
15O million in each lung i.e. total 300 million in both the lungs
The trachea is lined by
pseudostratified Ciliated Epithelium
What is Partial Pressure?
The pressure exerted by an individual gas in a mixture of gases is k/a Partial Pressure
What are the muscles involved in Respiration
- Diaphragm - Phrenic Muscles
- Coastal Muscles - Internal and External
- Abdominal Muscles - = Skeletal Muscles
Normal Inspiration and Normal Expiration last for
2s and 3s respectively
What is tidal Volume
Volume of Air inhaled or Exhaled during Breathing
