25
Q

1 and 2 are…

A
  1. Bronchioles
  2. Alveoli
26
Q

The primary function of alveoli is…

A

where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.

27
Q

Individuals with asthma suffering an asthma attack have an increased in muscle contraction of the airway, known as bronchoconstriction, and additionally have an inflammed sub_1____ and extra __2_____ secretion.

A
  1. submucosa
  2. Mucus secretion
28
Q

The right lung has ____ lobes? The are…

A

3; Superior, Middle, Inferior

29
Q

Is this a right or left lung? Correctly label 1,2,3

A

Right

  1. Superior Lobe
  2. Middle Lobe
  3. Inferior Lobe
30
Q

structure 1 in this photo is known as..

A

Cardiac notch

31
Q

What is the primary function of the Hilum?

A

It is the space where vessels and nerves pass from your bronchus to your lungs. The hilum keeps your lungs anchored in place.

32
Q

The structure 1 in this photo is…

A

Hilum

33
Q

1 is the ____ pleura and 2 is the _____ pleura

A
  1. Visceral
  2. Parietal
34
Q

1 is the ______

2 is the ______

A
  1. Visceral Pleura
  2. Parietal Pleura
35
Q

Pleuritis is essentially when…

A

is a condition in which the pleura become inflamed

36
Q

Atelectasis is a…

A

collapsed lung

37
Q

Adhesive atelectasis is characterized by…

A

Loss of contact between the parietal and visceral pleura.

38
Q

A pneumothorax is when…

A

There is air in the pleural space, which can lead to an adhesive atelectasis.

39
Q

What is respiration generally defined as?

A

Exchage of gases between atmosphere and body cells.

40
Q

Pulmonary ventilation is…

A

getting air into/out of lungs

41
Q

Boyle’s law states that…

A

the pressure of gas is inversely proportional to volume of container.

42
Q

How does Boyle’s law play an important role in ventilation?

A

When muscles such as the diaphragm compress the lungs, this in turn decreases the size of the “container” and as a result, in order to try to maintain equilibrium, the body exhales gases.

43
Q

What does the term compliance refer to in the context of lungs?

A

Compliance is referring to the elasticisty of the lungs which must be in good health for the mechanism of expand-contract, to work well.

44
Q

What muscles are used in normal inhalation? Primary and secondary

A

Diaphragm and External intercostal muscles(primary)

Scalene muscles, Pectoralis minor, sternocleidomastoid (secondary)

45
Q

What muscles are used during FORCED exhalation?

A

Rectus abdominus, internal intercostals, transversus thoracis

46
Q

The term emphysema is referring to…

A

Damage to the terminal bronchioles and alveoli.
