Chapter22 Respiratory System Flashcards
(38 cards)
Which type of avieoli is most abundant?
Type one squamous alveolar cells
What is the purpose of surfactant inside the avieoli
To keep the alveoli from sticking together during exhalation.
What type of cartilage composes the trachea?
Hyaline cartilage
What intercostal muscle helps you breath out?
Internal intercostals and rectus abdominous
What does breathing control come from
Medula oblongata pons involuntary
Motor cortex voluntary
What is hyperventilation?
Expellation of co2 faster than its made. Ph increases arteries contrict. Fainting
What is pneumothorax?
Air in the pleural cavity
What are the functions of the respiratory system?
Gas exchange Speech vocalization Olfaction Ph balance Hormone synthesis Pressure flow for blood and lymph Filter out small clots Valsalva urination deification birth
Why is gas exchange so efficient?
Lipid soluble Exchange surface area is large Diffusion distance is short Pressure gradient is huge Perfusion and ventilation are equal
What is the bronchial tree?
Branching tubes into each lung
What is boyles law?
Pressure is inversely related to volume
What is Charles law?
Volume of gas is proportional to its temperature.
What is daultons law?
The partial pressures of all the gasses in a system add up to the total pressure
How many lobes does the left lung have?
The right?
L-2
R-3
What are the cartilages that make up the nose?
Lateral cartilage
Septal cartilage
Minor and major alar cartilages
What makes up the upper respiratory tract?
Nares, vestibules, nasal conchae, pharynx, larynx
What are the three regions of the pharynx?
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
Which type of bronchi have c shaped hyaline cartilages.
Main or primary bronchis
What is the function of squamous alveolar cells?
95% do the alveolar cells. Function for rapid gas diffusion
What is the function of great alveolar cells?
Secrete pulmonary surfactant to keep alveoli from collapsing and sticking together
Also repair type one squamous alveoli
What dose alveolar macrophages do?
Phagocytize dust particles
What structures are invoked in phonation (making sound)
Epiglottis, thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, arytenoid cartilage, cornicate cartilage, cuneiform cartilages
Which bronchiole is the one where the alveoli are attached to?
Respiratory bronchioles
What is pulmonary ventilation?
Cycle of inspiration and expiration
