Q

Why is gas exchange so efficient?

A
Lipid soluble
Exchange surface area is large
Diffusion distance is short 
Pressure gradient is huge 
Perfusion and ventilation are equal

Q

What makes up the upper respiratory tract?

A

Nares, vestibules, nasal conchae, pharynx, larynx

16
Q

What are the three regions of the pharynx?

A

Nasopharyx - nasal cavity including estancias tube to end of uvula,pseudostratified columnar epitheal tissue
Oropharynx- mouth cavity to epiglottis, stratified squamous
Laryngopharynx- below epiglottis to esophagus, stratified squamous

17
Q

Which type of bronchi have c shaped hyaline cartilages.

A

Main or primary bronchis

18
Q

What is the function of squamous alveolar cells?

A

95% do the alveolar cells. Function for rapid gas diffusion

19
Q

What is the function of great alveolar cells?

A

Secrete pulmonary surfactant to keep alveoli from collapsing and sticking together
Also repair type one squamous alveoli

20
Q

What dose alveolar macrophages do?

A

Phagocytize dust particles

21
Q

What structures are invoked in phonation (making sound)

A

Epiglottis, thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, arytenoid cartilage, cornicate cartilage, cuneiform cartilages

22
Q

Which bronchiole is the one where the alveoli are attached to?

A

Respiratory bronchioles

23
Q

What is pulmonary ventilation?

A

Cycle of inspiration and expiration

24
What is a respiratory cycle ?
One complete cycle of inhalation and exhalation
25
What muscles are involved in inspiration?
Sternocleidomastoid, pectorals major and minor serrated anterior scalenes
26
What muscles are involved in expiration?
Rectus abdominous, internal intercostals lumbar and pelvic muscles
27
What is Valsalva maneuver?
Deep breath and holding it to excrete abdominal contents. Vomit child birth bowl movement urination
28
What controls auto rhythmic breathing?
Medulla oblongata and pons
29
What controls voluntary breathing
Motor cortex
30
What are central chemoreceptors
Brain stem neurons that respond to CSF pH which reflects co2 concentration in the blood
31
What are peripheral chemoreceptors
The carotid and aortic bodies in arteries above heart respond to o2 and co2 concentrations and pH of the blood
32
What are stretch receptors?
Detect the Smooth muscle in the respiratory tract keeps lungs from over inflating
33
What are irritant receptors?
Nerve endings in epithelial cells that detect irritants. Smoke dust pollen chemical fumes ect Trigger the reflex of bronchoconstriction shallow breathing and apnea (holding breath) and coughing
34
What things contribute to resistance of air flow?
Diameter of bronchiole ease of expansion of lungs and surface tension of alveoli and bronchioles
35
How much oxygen is unloaded into the tissues?
About 25%
36
What is it called when co2 binds with hemoglobin to be transported ?
Carbaminohemoglobin
37
What are the four factors that contribute to oxygen unloading
Lower PO2 Higher temp Lower pH in blood from Higher co2 concentration Bpg produced and replaces o2 on hemoglobin
