Q

Which bronchus is the most likely site for an inhaled object to become lodged? Why?

Q

The lungs are mostly passageways and elastic tissue. What is the role of the passageways? Of elastic tissue?

A

The passageway conducts air.

The elastic tissue allows lungs to recoil passively when exhaling, saving energy.

Q

— is reversed by drawing air out of the intrapleural space with chest tubes, which allows the lungs to reinflate and resume its normal function. It is the presence of air in the intrapleural space, which disrupts the fluid bond between the pleurae.

Q

What is the most important factors that can modify respiratory rate and depth?

A

The levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood.

The body’s need to rid itself of CO2 is the most important stimuli. ( increased CO2 and decreased blood pH)

17
Q

Paranasal cavity and nasolacrimal ducts drain into the ——-.

A

Nasal cavity

18
Q

——- is nonexchangible respiratory volume and allows gas exchange to go on continuously.

A

Residual volume

19
Q

During inspiration, intrapulmonary pressure is

—-———.

A

Less than atmosphere pressure

Greater than intrapleural pressure

20
Q

Lung collapse prevented by ———-.

A

Adhesion of pleural membrane.

21
Q

What are the respiratory membrane ?

A

Alveolar walls, alveolar pores, pulmonary capillaries

22
Q

What is external respiration?

A

Gas exchange between pulmonary blood and alveoli (O2 is loaded into blood, CO2 is unloaded from the blood)

23
Q

What is internal respiration?

A

Gas exchange between blood and tissue cells in systemic capillaries
(Actual use of O2 and production of CO2 by tissue s via cellular respiration)

24
Q

— is the loss of negative pressure in pleural cavity that causes the lungs to collapse.

A

Pneumothorax

25
Q

Most CO2 is transported in the — as —.

A

Plasma, bicarbonate ion (HCO3-)

26
Q

A normal tidal volume is about — ml, and it represents ——–.

A

500 the amount of air moved into and out of the lungs with each breath.

27
Q

Main respiratory muscles are — and —.

A

Diaphragm, external intercostals

28
Q

The — capacity is the total amount of the exchangeable air in the lung.

A

Vital

29
Q

The respiratory membrane, air-blood barrier, consists of —, —, —.

A

Alveolar wall
Alveolar pores
Pulmonary capillaries

30
Q

4 events of respiration:

A

Pulmonary ventilation
External respiration (blood & alveoli)
Respiratory gas transport
Internal respiration (blood & tissue cells in systemic capillaries)

31
Q

What is the maximum volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs called?

A

Vital capacity

Cf. Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) is the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after a tidal volume.

32
Q

What is the term for difficult or labored breathing?

A

Dyspnea

33
Q

What is hypoxia?

A

A condition characterized by inadequate oxygen delivery to body tissues.

34
Q

What is vital capacity?

A

It is the amount of air taken in and released during a normal breath.
