87
Q

PNS releases ACh

A

K leaves cell, slower repolarization, HR slows down

88
Q

A

Na and Ca enter cell, faster repolarization, HR speeds up

89
Q

A

reflex mechanism to main BP and blood distrubution. It contracts and relaxed SMOOTH MUSCLE

90
Q

Types of Vasomotor Control Mechanism

A

1) Medullary ischemic reflex: triggered by decreased blood flow to the medulla
2) Vasomotor chemoeceptor reflexes: triggered by hypercapnia & hypoxia
3) Vasomotor baroreceptor reflexes: triggered by changes in blood pressure

91
Q

baroreceptor and chemoreceptor reflex

A

decrease in CO -> HR/SV/CO + vasocontractions increase -> high BP and blood flow

increase in CO and BP -> HR/SV/CO decrease + vasodilation increase -> BP and blood flow decrease

92
Q

A

Endocrine mechanism: ADH, RASS, EPO activate

Neural Mechanisms, SNS: cardiovascular centers activated

**both work to increase BP

93
Q

A

area for gas exchange. Called bronchioles, alveolar duct, alveoli, pulmonary capillaries.

96
Q

100
Q

The Nose

A

External nose: surface and skeletal structures giving outward appearance of the nose and contribute to its numerous functions

Internal nose (nasal cavity) is divided by the septum into left and right sides, each with 3 meatuses and 3 conchae (inferior, middle, superior): Connects to pharynx, nasolacrimal ducts, and paranasal sinuses

Meatuses and conchae
- lined with mucous membrane
- increase surface area
- disrupt air flow as it enters the nose: air bounces along the epithelium, where it is cleaned and warmed.
- conserve water and prevent dehydration: traps water during exhalation

101
Q

What type of epithelium makes up the respiratory epithelium in the nasopharynx, trachea, bronchial ->*changes to simple columnar closer to smaller levels

A

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

102
Q

Bronchi Tree Structure

A

23 levels of branching which starts of the division of the trachea into right and left primary bronchi at the carina, a raised structure with specialized nervous tissue that induces violent coughing if a foreign body, such as food, is present.
As the bronchi becomes smaller and more numerous, the proportion of cartilage decreases while that of the smooth muscle increases. Cartilage rings 🡪 cartilage plates 🡪 elastic fibers
Smooth muscle can contract and relax to cause bronchoconstriction or bronchodilation to adjust air flow.
Primary bronchi → secondary bronchi → tertiary bronchi → bronchiole → → → terminal bronchioles (1000/lung) → respiratory bronchioles → alveolar ducts and alveoli (location of gas exchange)

103
Q

A

Type 2 alveolar cells

106
Q

About Surfactant

A

-Properties of surfactant: reduces the cohesiveness of water

-How surfactant works: Surfactant coats the inner surface of alveoli to reduce surface tension of alveolar fluid: prevents alveoli from collapsing

  • Surfactant helps to increase compliance of the lungs as it affects how easily the alveoli can expand
