Chapter 23&24 Flashcards
Ventilation
movement of air into and out of lungs
Internal Respiration
gas exchange between the blood and tissues
Functions of the nasal cavity
warms air
smell
produces mucus to trap debree
What sinuses open directly into the nasal cavity
Paranasal sinuses
Nasopharynx
openings of eustachian (auditory) tubes
Largest unpaired cartilage of the larynx
thyroid (also known as adams apple)
What folds prevent swallowed material from moving into the larynx
epiglottis and vestibular folds
Vocal folds are primary source of what
sound production
What determines pitch
frequency of vibration
What way does hyaline cartilage (C shaped rings) open
posteriorly
Primary bronchi divide into what
secondary bronchi. one goes to right lobe one to left
As tubes become smaller what happens to cartilage and smooth muscle
cartilage decreases and amount of smooth muscle increases
Place the following in order: A) Alveoli B) Terminal bronchiole C) Alveolar ducts D) Respiratory bronchioles
B) Terminal Bronchiole
D) Respiratory bronchioles
C) Alveolar ducts
A) Alveoli
Where does actual exchange happen
alveoli
Thin layer of fluid lining the alveolus
fluid is surfactin
The respiratory membrane has
simple squamous epithelium
What happens when the muscles of inspiration are contracted
thoracic volume increases
The diaphragm contracts what happens to the thoracic cavity
the superior - inferior dimensions increase
Quiet expiration
relaxation of diaphragm and external intercostals with contraction of abdominal muscles
Sirius membrane of the lungs are called
pleural
Pressure Gradiant
When moving out there has to be more pressure inside than out
When moving inside has to be more pressure outside than in
Surfactant
reduces tendency of lungs to collapse by reducing surface tension
Pneumothorax
an opening between pleural cavity and air that causes a loss of pleural pressure
Negative pressure can cause alveoli to what
expand
Emphysema
Increases compliance
Residual volume
volume still remaining in respiratory passages and lungs after most forceful expiration (1200 mL)
Daltons Law
total pressure is the sum of the individual pressures of each gas
What 4 factors effect diffusion of gases through the respiratory membrane
membrane thickness, diffusion coefficient of gas, surface area, and partial pressure differences
Diseases like emphysema and lung cancer reduce what
available surface area
Increase surface area does what to diffusion rate
increase diffusion rate
Normally gas moves in what direction
from area of higher partial pressure to area of lower partial pressure
Oxygen diffuses into the arterial ends of pulmonary capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveoli because of differences in what
partial pressure
Oxygen is transported by what
hemoglobin (98.5%)
If PH declines in the blood what happens
blood becomes more acidic and high CO2
Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)
is a sugar byproduct of glycolasas, released by RBC’s as they break down glucose for energy
BPG binds to what and increases oxygen
hemoglobin
PH decreases, CO2 increases, & Temperature increases indicate what
Right shift curve
