Chapter 14 Flashcards
Lower Respiratory Tract
The part of the respiratory system containing the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
Ventilation
The process of getting air into the lungs and back out.
Internal Respiration
The process of O2 and CO2 exchange between the body, cells, and blood.
Pneumothorax
Air in the pleural cavity, which leads to a collapsed lung.
Compliance
The ease with which the lungs inflate.
Tidal Volume
The volume of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing.
Functional Residual Capacity
The volume of air left in the lungs after a normal exhalation.
Upper Respiratory Tract
The part of the respiratory system containing the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and pharynx.
First stage of aerobic respiration
Glycolysis
In glycolysis, glucose is broke into two molecules of
Pyruvate
It takes two molecules of (A) to the process of glycolysis, but by the end (B) molecules of that same substance are made.
A: ATP
B: 4
Two molecules of NAD+ are converted to two molecules of
NADH
Second stage of aerobic respiration
Oxidation of pyruvate (acetyl co-enzyme A formation)
