Chapter 22 Part 2 Flashcards
measures volumes and capacities
spirometer
amount of gas reaching alveoli
Matched= efficient gas exchange
ventilation
blood flow reaching alveoli
matched= efficient gas exchange
perfusion
functional residual capacity
FRC
HCO3-
bicarbonate
H2CO3
carbonic acid
integrates input from peripheral stretch and chemoreceptors
Dorsal Resp. Group
DRG
sets eupnea;
rhythm generator
ventral resp. group
VRG
normal breathing rate (12-20 RR)
Eupnea
breathing cessation c CO2 is abnormally low
apnea
abnormally rapid breathing (more than 20 rr)
tachypnea
labored breathing, shortness of breath
dyspnea
volume of gas inhaled/exhaled in 1 minute
rest = 5-8 L
moderate exercise= 40-60 L
minute ventilation
acute mountain sickness, above 8000 ft
AMS
respiratory and hematopoietic adjustments to altitude
acclimitization
