Chapter 17 Study Guide Flashcards
What are the 4 Functions of the Respiratory System?
- Exchange of gases between the Atmosphere and the Blood
- Homeostatic regulation of Body pH
- Protection from inhaled pathogens and irritating substances
- Vocalization (speech,singing)
What is Vocalization mean?
Air moving across the vocal chords
creating vibrations for speech,singing,
& other forms of communication
Gases use a _____ _______ that flow from higher to lower pressure during movement?
Pressure Gradient
Bronichiole diameter of tubes in the airway effect movement by giving what?
Resistance to Flow
Which energy pathway uses oxygen during ATP production?
Electron Transport System
Which Energy Pathway produces CO2 during ATP Production?
Citric Acid Cycle
Homeostatic Regulation of Body pH is refered to as?
THe lungs can alter body Ph by selectively retaining or excreting CO2
What happens a the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and Blood?
The Body brings in O2 for distribution to the tissues
and elimates CO2 waste produced by metabolism
What is called when you have an exchange of air between the atmosphere and the Lungs?
Ventilation
What are the Mechanics of Ventilatioin called?
Breathing
This refers to the intracellular reaction of Oxygen with organic molecules to produce CO2, H2O, & Engery in the form of ATP
Cellular Respiration
All are the Stimuli for Altering the Rate of Ventilation, EXCEPT?
(Which one)
- Increased CO2
- Increased Osmolarity
- Decreased Oxygen
- Decreased pH
- Increased Osmolarity
This Enzyme Catalyes the conversion of
CO2 + H2O To H2CO3
(which one)
- Carbonic Anhydrase
- Carbonic ATPase
- Dioxidase
- Hydrophosphilatase
- Carbonic Anhydrase
Increasing the amount of Carbon Dioxide will ___ the Ph of Body fluids?
(which one)
- Decrease
- Increase
- Have no effect on
- Decrease
Lowering the pH by accumulation of CO2 leads to this state?
Respiratory Acidosis
What Pump also creates a pressure gradient?
Muscular Pump
Resistance to Air Flow is Influenced Primarily by what?
The Diameter of the tubes in the airway
Gas Exchange at the Lungs, as well, at the working tissues and Breathing and the movement of gases through the Bloodstream is referred to as what?
External Respiration
External respiration can be subdivided into 4 groups, what are they?
- Ventilation (breathing)
- Exhange of Gases (O2 & CO2 between Lungs & Blood)
- Transport of O2 & CO2 by Blood
- The exchange of gases between Blood & the Cells
Blood—-> Alveoli
Blood—–> tissues
Gas _____ is from the Lungs to the working Cells?
Transport
Gas ______ is into or out of the Blood
Blood—->Alveoli
Blood….> Tissues
Exchange
What gas comes into the Lungs and at the alveoli it will enter the Blood
at the levels of Tissues it will leave the Blood and go into the Cells?
Oxygen
What gas leaves the blood and enters the lungs so you can breathe it out?
Carbon Dioxide
What bones and muscles assit in Ventilation?
Thorax (chest cavity) InnerCostals
abdomen
Bronchile is covered with what type of muscle?
Smooth Muscle Cells
What does the conducting system do to the air we inhale?
warms & moisturizes
This Alveolar Cell Type is where gas exchange occurs?
Type 1
This Aveolar Cell Type Creates a surfactant that decreases surface tension & increased complaince?
Type 11
In branching in the airways what makes up the conducting System?
The Trachea, Primary Bonchi, Smaller Bronchi, Bronchioles
In branching in the airways what makes up the Exchange Surface?
Respiratory, Bronicholes, Alveoli
What is the Aveoli covered in?
Capillaries
Type 1 Alveolar Cells are responsible for what?
Gas Exchange
Type 2 Alveolar Cells are responsible for what?
Surfactant Production & Secretion onto the inner surface of alveolus
If surfactant decreases what will happen to the Surface Tension?
It will increase compilance
This Alveolar structure removes pathogens, toxins, and debris?
Alveolar Macrophages
This Law states total pressure of mixture of gases is the sum of pressure of individual gases
Dalton’s Law
The gases own individual pressure is called _____ ______?
(part of a whole)
Partial Pressure
What do Alveolar Macrophages do?
Remove pathogens, toxins, and debris
The airways have a layer of smooth muscle intheir walls, which enables then to do what?
Constrict or Dilate
In response to pollutants presence in the airways, this will do what to the airways?
Constrict
(minimize their entry to the Lungs)
A demand for air, such as during excerise, this does that to the airways?
Dilate
(Increase Air Flow)
What is the Larynx, Trachea, & Bronchial Tree lined with what cell?
Ciliated Columar Epithelium
