Exam 2 Flashcards
Lymphokinesis
Movement, or flow of lymph
- it flow throughout the thoracic duct and re-enters through the general circulation
Lacteals
Lymphatic capillaries that transport dietary lipids and fat-soluble vitamins to the blood stream
Thoracic duct
The main collecting ducts of the lymphatics, receives lymph from the whole body except the upper right quadrant
The right lymphatic
Drains the lymph from the upper right quadrant of the body
First line of defense
The barrier defense, “mechanical or chemical”
- skin and mucous
- the epithelial defense stops things from getting inside our bodies
- the chemical defense has mucous that traps pathogens, hydrochloric acid that destroys pathogens
The 2nd line of defense
- the inflammatory response, or “non-specific defense”
- examples of inflammatory responses are swelling, redness, heat, and fever
3rd line of defense
- adaptive immunity
- can recognize and target specific pathogens and foreign substances; has memory and remembers the initial exposure and responds more quietly and aggressively on substance exposures
Innate immunity
In place or already present, something we are born with
Adaptive immunity
Responds to and changes to specific threat. THe immunity that is developed over time.
B - lymphocytes
T - lymphocytes
B - lymphocytes -> antibody-mediated immunity, they are active against viruses, bacteria, and soluble foreign molecules.
- antibodies are proteins made by B lymphocytes that bind with and neutralize specific antigens
T - lymphocytes -> cell-mediated immunity, they directly attack foreign cells, and coordinate the immune response
- they are active against parasites, viruses, fungi, intracellular bacteria, cancer cells, cells with “non-self” MHC
The upper and lower digestive tracts structure
The upper: nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx (oropharynx, nasopharynx, laryngopahrynx), the larynx (voice box) -> separates the upper and lower
The lower: trachea, bronchi, (primary, secondary, tertiary), bronchioles, alveoli
The flap separating the esophagus and trachea that closes when you perform the Val sal maneuver
The epiglottis
The conducting division
“Tubes”
- passageway for air flow
- warms and filters air
- humidification (moistens)
- volume of the conducting division is referred to as dead space (30% of tidal volume)
Respiratory division
“Balloons”
Gas exchange
The volume in the respiratory division is referred to as alveolar volume (70% of tidal volume)
Tidal volume (VT)
Volume moved in or out of the respiratory tract during a normal respiratory cycle
- normal in/out
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
The maximum volume that can be moved into the respiratory tract after a normal inspiration
- maximum in after tidal expiration
Expiratory reserves volume
The maximum volume that can be moved out of the respiratory tract after a normal expiration
- max out after normal tidal expiration
Residual volume (RV)
Volume remaining in the respiratory tract after maximum expiration
(Air you can’t get out)
Vital capacity (VC)
Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve +expiratory reserve
- maximum in and out if max out = max in
Inspiratory capacity
Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume
- maximum volume inspired following tidal expiration
Functional residual capacity
Expiratory reserve volume + residual volume
- the volume in the lungs after tidal expiration
Total lung capacity
Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume + expiratory reserve volume + residual volume
= VC + RV
Forced expiratory volume
The prescience of respiratory obstruction by measuring the volume of air expired per second during forced expiration
FEV1
FEV2
FEV3
1 = 83%
2 = 94%
3 = 97%
Obstructive
Restrictive
Problem with the tubes
Problem with the balloons
The two muscled associated with breathing out
Internal intercostals -> they enable forced expiration of the lungs by depressing on the ribs
Abs -> there is a contraction of abdominal muscles when breathing out
