Respiration
exchange of gasses among lining things and their environment
internal respiration
exchange of gasses between blood and body cells
diaphram
main muscle involved in breathing
external respiration
exchange of gases between air in lungs and blood
expiration
to exhale
pulmonary ventilation
breathing
inspiration
to inhale
The exchange of both 02 & C02 from blood to body tissue occurs by
diffussion
spirometer
measures the amount of air exchanged in breathing
vital capacity
maximum expiration
tidal capacity
normal inspiration/expiration
expiratory reserve volum
amount of air that can forcibly exhaled after inspiring tidal volume
inspiriatory reserve volume
amount of air that can be forcibly inhaled after normal inspiration
What do chemo receptors control?
levels of CO2, 02 and acid in the body
what do stretch receptors control?
elasticity of the lungs
How do the chemo receptors control it?
receptors near the cartaroid artery send signals to the brain when C02 is too high or 02 is too low
How do the stretch receptors control it?
when we inspire TV, signals are sent to the inspiratory center to tell our breathing muscles to relax
Respiratory arrest
failure to resume breathing after a long period of apnea
Apnea
complete stoppage of breathing for a brief period
Hypoventilation
labored or difficulty breathing
Hyperventilation
rapid & deep respiration
Eupnea
normal respiratory rate
Dyspnea
slow & shallow respiration
What four things does the respiratory system do to the air we breathe?
gas exchange
warms
filters the air
humidifies
