Q

This requires o2 to move from the atmosphere, across the alveoli, into the blood. It also requires CO2 to move out of the blood, across the alveoli, and into the atmosphere. This results in the conversion of deoxygenated blood into oxygenated blood.

Q

Each gas in a system will exert its own pressure as if all other gases were not present

A

Dalton’s law

34
Q

It results in the conversion of oxygenated blood into deoxygenated blood

A

Internal respiration

35
Q

The tissue lining initially in the nasal cavity

A

Stratified squamous epithelium

36
Q

It involves inhalation and exhalation. It does not involve any gases crossing the exchange surface and entering or leaving the blood stream

A

Pulmonary ventilation

37
Q

Basically, as volume increases, pressure decreases and vice versa. P and V have an inverse relationship. This means if one increases, the other must decrease.

A

Boyles law

38
Q

Is on the wall of the thoracic cavity

A

Parietal pleura

39
Q

Is on the organs

A

Visceral pleura

40
Q

Atmospheric pressure @ sea level is

41
Q

During inhalation ______ will increase and _____ will decrease

A

Volume

Pressure

42
Q

External intercostals contract during

A

Inhalation/quiet respiration

43
Q

During _____ pressure will increase and volume will decrease

A

Exhalation

44
Q

Exhalation is active in

45
Q

As muscles relax, volume increases and pressure decrease inhale extra o2

Internal intercostals contract and ABS contract

A

Hypernea active respiration

46
Q

Is the fluid like substance that coats inside of alveoli helps keep open, provides surface tension, Prevents lungs from collapsing on itself.

A

Surfactant

47
Q

The pressure of each gas is called partial pressure.
The total pressure of the system is sum of all partial pressures of all gases in the system.
Basically, each gas in a system behaves as if it is the only gas in the system.

A

Dalton’s law of partial pressures

48
Q

Pressure outside the lung between the pleural membranes

A

Intraplueral pressure

49
Q

This requires o2 to move from the blood, across the capillary wall, and into IF or tissue. It also requires co2 to move out of the IF or tissue, across the capillary wall, and into the blood.

A

Internal respiration

50
Q

Made up of 4 protein subunits 2 alpha and 2 beta
Contains a molecule of heme that contains iron that carry one molecule of O2

A

Hemoglobin

51
Q

Is a pigment that appears deep red when bound to o2, and a deep blue when bound to co2

52
Q

Carbon dioxide is transported in 3 ways

A

7% is transported in dissolved plasma
23% is transported to hemoglobin as carbaminohemoglobin
70% transported in plasma as bicarbonate ions

53
Q

Formation of bicarbonate ions

A
  1. CO2 enters and RBC and an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase causes co2 and h2o to combine and form carbonic acid
  2. Carbonic acid dissociates H+ and HCO3. Hydrogen binds to Hb and is carried by it.
  3. A counter current exchange pump, pumps the bicarbonate ion out of the RBC into the plasma and pumps chloride ion into RBC. This process is called chloride shift.

The basic respiratory rhythm is controlled by the respiratory center which is made up of autonomic centers in the

A

Medulla and pons

60
Q

Apneustic center

62
Q

Is located in the pons and inhibits the DRG so that quiet exhalation occurs

Pneunotaxic center

63
Q

Mechanoreceptors respond to changes in volume and pressure during forced or active respiration Hypernea

A

Inflation reflex

Deflation reflex

64
Q

Prevents over-expansion of the lungs. As the volume of the lungs increases during extended inhalations Mechanoreceptors in the lungs and thoracic muscles send action potentials to inhibit the DRG stop inhalation and stimulate VRG begin exhalation

A

Inflation reflex

65
Q

Prevents the lungs from collapsing due to over deflation. As the volume of the lungs decrease Mechanoreceptors will send action potentials to inhibit the VRG stop exhalation and stimulate the DRG begin inhalation

A

Deflation reflex

66
Q

Involve coughing and sneezing which are responses to injury or irritation of the respiratory mucosae by pathogens and debris.

A

Protective reflexes
