Q

What is the purpose of the nostril?

A

Air enters into the nasal cavity through the nostril.
Hairs in the nostril filter out particles when you breathe in and cleanse the air to prevent dirt from going into the lungs

Q

Describe the sinuses.

A

Sinuses are connected to nasal passages but are a different structure that reduces the weight of the cranium.
Sinuses receive air when you ventilate.

Q

What is the purpose of the pharyngotympanic tube?

A

Opening of the tube that leads back to your inner ear and drains fluid from the inner ear.
If clogged with mucous or the sinuses swell, it can’t drain so bacteria grows and infection occurs.

Q

Where does epithelium switch in the pharynx?

A

Shift from pseudo stratified epithelium to stratified epithelium by the time we get down to the oropharynx because food has to pass down. This epithelium is designed to deal with increased friction.

Q

What is the purpose of the trachealis muscle?

A

Smooth muscle that can contract to decrease size to minimize foreign matter entering into trachea.
Restricts airflow.
Can stretch.
When swallowing a bolus, this expands to make the esophagus larger and swallowing easier. This does not affect breathing because you don’t breath and swallow at the same time.

38
Q

What is the purpose of elastic fibers?

A

Compress the alveoli.

A

Aids in exhalation

40
Q

What is alveolar respiration?

A

Exchange of gases between alveoli and capillaries

A

Simple squamous.
Most abundant cell in alveolus.

42
Q

What are Type II cells?

A

Surfactant-secreting cell.
Secrete surfactant into the alveolus, which mixes with water that lines the inside of the alveolus.

43
Q

What is surfactant?

A

Surfacent is detergent.
Detergents can act with a polar and nonpolar molecule.
(can allow water and oil to mix)

44
Q

What are resident macrophages?

A

Last line of defense

45
Q

What is the basement membrane for simple squamous of alveolus and capillary fuse?

A

Share basement membrane, which helps to decrease distance for diffusion.

46
Q

What does ventilation require?

A

Contraction/relaxation of the diaphragm to change pressures within the thoracic cavity

47
Q

Inspiration: sequence of events

A
  1. Inspiratory muscles contract (diaphragm descends; rib cage rises)
  2. Thoracic cavity volume increases
  3. Lungs stretched, intrapulmonary volume increases
  4. Intrapulmonary pressure drops to -1 mmHg
  5. Air (gases) flows into lungs down its pressure gradient until intrapulmonary pressure is 0 (equal to atmospheric pressure)
48
Q

Inspiration: changes in anterior-posterior and superior-inferior dimensions

A

Ribs elevated and sternum flares as external intercostals contract.
Diaphragm moves inferiorly during contraction.

49
Q

Inspiration: changes in lateral dimensions

A

External intercostals contract

50
Q

When is expiration passive?

A

Under normal conditions

51
Q

Expiration: sequence of events

A
  1. Inspiratory muscles relax (diaphragm rises; rib cage descends due to recoil of costal cartilages)
  2. Thoracic cavity volume decreases
  3. Elastic lungs recoil passively; intrapulmonary volume decreases
  4. Intrapulmonary pressure rises to +1 mmHg
  5. Air (gases) flows out of lungs down its pressure gradient until intrapulmonary pressure is 0
52
Q

Expiration: changes in anterior-posterior and superior-inferior dimensions

A
  1. Ribs and sternum depressed as external intercostals relax
  2. Diaphragm moves superiorly as it relaxes
53
Q

Expiration: changes in lateral dimensions

A

External intercostals relax

54
Q

Define Boyle’s law

A

The pressure of a gas varies inversely with its volume

55
Q

Change in pressure during inspiration

A
  1. Pull on parietal layer of the plural membrane (connective tissue) –> volume in cavity increases –> intrapleural cavity pressure decreases (-4 mmHg –> -6 mmHg)
  2. Lungs expand into lower region of pressure –> volume in lungs increases –> intrapulmonary pressure decreases = intrapulmonary pressure < atmospheric pressure
  3. Air goes down its gradient and we inhale
56
Q

What does breathing in involve the manipulation of?

A

2 different volumes

57
Q

Passive exhalation

A
  1. Relax diaphragm and internal intercostals
  2. Ribs fall
  3. Volume in cavity decreases –> intrapleural cavity pressure increases
  4. Volume in lungs decreases –> intrapulmonary pressure increases
  5. Intrapulmonary pressure > atmospheric pressure
  6. Air goes down gradient and we exhale
58
Q

Why do we ventilate?

A

So we can respirate

59
Q

Does atmospheric pressure change?

A

No, it never changes. Everything else does

60
Q

What is ventilation?

A

The movement of air and its contents

61
Q

What does respiration involve?

A

The exchange of gas molecules that make up the air

62
Q

What is Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure?

A

The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas

63
Q

What is barometric pressure?

A

760 mmHg

64
Q

What are the concentration of gases?

A

O2 = 20.93%
CO2 = 0.03%
N2 = 78.60%
H2O = 0.46%

65
Q

What are the partial pressures of gases?

A

PO2 = 159.07 mmHg
PCO2 = 0.228 mmHg
PN2 = 597.36 mmHg
PH2O = 3.496 mmHg

66
Q

What is residual lung volume?

A

When you exhale, you don’t exhale all the air and there is a little left over

67
Q

Why is the partial pressure of O2 in alveoli a little over 100?

A

New air mixes with the old air

68
Q

How is oxygen transported in the blood?

A

hemoglobin

69
Q

How does hemoglobin load and unload oxygen?

A

Shape

70
Q

What are the partial pressures of inspired air?

A

PO2 = 160 mmHg
PCO2 = 0.3 mmHg

71
Q

What are the partial pressures of the alveoli of lungs?

A

PO2 = 104 mmHg
PCO2 = 40 mmHg

72
Q

What are the partial pressures of blood leaving tissues and entering lungs?

A

PCO2 = 45 mmHg

73
Q

What are the partial pressures of blood leaving the lungs and entering tissue capillaries?

A

PO2 = 100 mmHg
PCO2 = 40 mmHg

74
Q

What are the partial pressures of tissues?

A

PO2 < 40 mmHg
PCO2 > 45 mmHg

75
Q

What happens to partial pressures when you exercise?

A

PO2 = decrease
PCO2 = increase

76
Q

What are the 2 heme shapes?

A

Taut: doesn’t want to bind, empty
Relaxed: bound

77
Q

When will O2 attach to hb?

A

When hemoglobin travels to alveoli and is exposed to high partial pressure of O2, O2 will bombard the Hb. 1 O2 will hit the heme group and bind, changing the shape and all heme groups will now be exposed.

78
Q

When is a hemoglobin saturated?

A

When all 4 heme groups are full

79
Q

What is normal saturation and what does it mean?

A

98%; 98% of heme groups are saturated with O2

80
Q

What happens with Hb in arterial blood?

A

Hb is closed and bombarded with O2. Hb changes shape so O2 binds and Hb is saturated. Go to where low PO2 is, which will encourage O2 molecule to fall off
