17
Q

breathing in causes the blank pleura to be pulled on which blanks the size of the blank and blank pleura therefore the pressure blanks

A

parietal, increases, parietal, visceral, decreases

Q

gravity pulls the lung blank so there is blank space at the bottom of the lung than the top so the pressure is blank at the bottom than the top

24
Q

high compliance means the lung stretches blank

A

easily

25
Q

low compliance requires blank pleural pressure to breathe

A

decreased

26
Q

restrictive lung disease blanks compliance

A

decreases

27
Q

during forced expiration, when the expiratory muscles contract, thoracic volume blanks which blanks intrapleural pressure

A

decreases, increases

28
Q

during forced expiration, there is more blank in small airways which blanks driving pressure of gas

A

friction, decreases

29
Q

with obstructive lung diseases there will be blank resistance which causes a blank loss of pressure

A

greater, faster

30
Q

there is more velocity during blank because muscle force works with recoil rather than against it in blank

A

expiration, inspiration

31
Q

pulmonary ventilation is like blank

A

cardiac output

32
Q

pulmonary ventilation equation

A

V = respiratory rate x tidal volume

33
Q

thanks to retaining stale air and having low alveolar volume, it prevents sudden changes in blank or blank in the lungs

A

PO2, PCO2

34
Q

increasing alveolar volume is more efficient by

A

slow, deep breaths because it reduces dead space

35
Q

bottom of lungs expand more and there is more blood in the bottom because of

A

gravity

36
Q

at the top of the lung there is more blank than blank

A

airflow, bloodflow

37
Q

the top has blank blood volume and blank blood oxygen

A

lower, higher

38
Q

the bottom of the lung has blank blood volume and blank blood oxygen

A

higher, lower

39
Q

two forms of oxygen in the blood

A

dissolved, bound

40
Q

oxygen must blank before it can blank to be transported in plasma

A

dissolve, bind

41
Q

oxygen must go to blank rather than directly from alveoli to hemoglobin cells

A

plasma

42
Q

dissolved oxygen in the blood is blank and the gradient pushes it from the blank to blank

A

non polar, alveoli, blood

43
Q

bound oxygen is done by blank which can bind blank oxygen molecules and the gradient is blank

A

hemoglobin, 4, reversible

44
Q

if the hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve shifts left then there is more blank

A

oxygen loading at lungs

45
Q

if the hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve shifts right then there is more blank

A

oxygen unloading at tissues

46
Q

if pH decreases then the curve will shift blank

A

right

47
Q

if temperature decreases then the curve shifts blank

A

left

48
Q

if CO2 decreases then the curve shifts blank

A

left

49
Q

three forms of CO2 in blood

A

dissolved, bound, bicarbonate

50
Q

rarest form of CO2 that is polar and more soluble than O2

A

dissolved

51
Q

second most abundant form of CO2 that is carbaminohemoglobin

A

bound

52
Q

most abundant form of carbond dioxide that is formed inside RBC, is carbonic anhydrase, and releases H+ to decrease pH

A

bicarbonate

53
Q

there are more consequences for changes in blood blank than blank

A

carbon dioxide, oxygen

54
Q

two reflex controls of ventilation

A

central and peripheral chemoreceptors

55
Q

central chemoreceptors respond to blank in CSF and is close to blank which causes a blank

A

CO2, medulla, fast response

56
Q

peripheral chemoreceptors are in the blank and blank and are sensitive to blank but less sensitive to blank

A

aorta, carotid, pH, O2

57
Q

another two peripheral sensory receptors for ventilation

A

cold water, slapping skin, proprioceptors in muscles/joints

58
Q

another two respiratory passageway receptors for ventilation

A

cough/sneezing, bronchodilation/constriction

59
Q

in the cold room systolic blood pressure should blank and the diastolic should blank

A

decrease, increase

60
Q

in the cold room heart rate should blank and respiration rate should blank

A

decrease, decrease

61
Q

in the hot room diastolic blood pressure should blank and heart rate should blank and respiration rate should blank

A

decrease, increase, increase
