Chapter 25.1 Part 2 Flashcards
Between visceral and parietal pleura, barrow space, contains Lubricating fluid.
Pleural cavity
Left lung indentation, which the heart lies, makes right lung 10% smaller.
Cardiac notch
Terminal bronchioles subdivided into microscopic branches called?
Respiratory bronchioles
Respiratory bronchioles are lined with?
Nonciliated epithelium
Cup-shaped our-pouching of an alveolar sac is called?
alveolus
Alveoli are composed of three types of cells..
Type I alveolar cells- main sites of gas exchange. (Simple squamous)
Type II alveolar (septal) cells- secrete alveolar fluid, keeps surface between cells moist.
Alveolar macrophages(dust cells)- wandering phagocytes, remove dust partials and debris.
Mixture of phospholipids and lipoproteins that reduces the tendency of alveoli to collapse also humidifies..
Surfactant surfactant
The exchange of O2 and CO2 between air spaces in the lungs and blood takes place by diffusion across the alveolar and capillary walls. These structures form..
Respiratory membrane
The flow of air between the atmosphere and the lungs, occurs due to differences in air pressure.
Pulmonary ventilation
Contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscles create..
Air pressure changes that power breathing
Breathing in is called?
Inhalation or inspiration
Diaphragm + external intercostals contract, diaphragm descends, and lung volume expands.
Inhalation
Diaphragm and external intercostals relax causes..
Exhalation or expiration
Diaphragm relaxes and rises, lung volume decreases, external intercostals relax, lung volume decreases..
Exhalation
Exhaling forcefully is called?
Active exhalation
Examples of active exhalation are?
Playing wind instrument, exercise and blowing out a candle.
Inverse relationship between volume and pressure.
Boyle’s law- as lung volume increases alveolar pressure decreases, vice versa
While at rest a healthy adult breaths about?
12 times a minute
Tidal volume (tv)=
Volume moved in one breath
