Q

If a person contracts pneumonia, inflammation occurs in the lobules of the lung, causing fluid leakage into the alveoli. Which of the following best describes the effect this has on gas exchange.

A

As the alveoli fill with fluid, air cannot reach the alveolar surface and gas exchange cannot occur, compromising the function of the respiratory membrane

Q

37
Q

decreased volume =

A

increased pressure

38
Q

what happens during inspiration

A

-external intercostals contract: pulls chest upward
-Diaphragm contracts & moves down, increases depth of thorax
- overall increase in volume of thoracic cavity

39
Q

What happens during expiration

A
  • External intercostals relax- chest is depressed
  • Diaphragm relaxes moves upward, decreases depth of thorax
  • overall decrease in volume of thoracic cavity
40
Q

respiratory centers are located where in the brain

A

medulla oblongata
pons

41
Q

inspiration center active every breathing cycle

A

dorsal respiratory group

42
Q

expiration center - active only during forced breathing

A

Ventral respiratory group

43
Q

what does high plasma CO2 do

A

cause hypercapnia and increased pco2 in the arterial blood (hypoventilation)

44
Q

Low plasma CO2

A

decreases pco2, causes hypocapnia and causes (hyperventilation)
