Exam 3 Flashcards
What are the different epithelial types found in the respiratory system
Starts out as psuedostratified ciliated columnar epi
Then goes too…
simple ciliated columnar
simple cuboidal
simple squamous
The larynx and above is considered
The upper respiratory system
Main functions of the nose are to
warm clean and humidify inhaled air
detect odors and amplifies voice
Main function of the larynx
keep food and drink out of airway
2 layers of simple squamous epithelia with basil laminae between
Alveoli
What environmental factors affect hemoglobin
Temperature
pH
Metabolic activity of RBC
O2 of blood
Hemoglobin saturation curve shifts to the right and more oxygen is released when
pH drops or temperature rises
Less oxygen is released and hemoglobin saturation curve shifts to the left when
pH rises or temperature drops
Binds 210 times as tightly as oxygen
CO
carbon monoxide
Average pH
7,4
Primary generator of the respiratory rhythm
Ventral Respiratory Group
VRG
Modifies the rate and depth of breathing
Dorsal respiratory Group
DRG
Modifies rhythm of the VRG by outputs to both the VRG and DRG
Pontine respiratory Group
What is the function of cilia
Generate movement
What is the function of goblet cells
glands that produce mucous
Name for chewing
Mastication
semi digested food in the stomach is called
chyme
What are the three phases of gastric secretion
Cephalic phase
Gastric phase
Intestine phase
What is the difference between bolus and chyme
Food is bolus until it enters the stomach
is the compliment system specific or non specific
non specific
How do NK cells kill
- Preforin molecules create holes
- Granzymes disrupt metabolism
- activate apoptosis
(programmed cell death)
How is compliment system activated?
1st have and antibody that is stuck to an antigen
2nd C1 is going to float in and sit next to that complex which calls in additional proteins. Those proteins will create MAC
What is the basic funtion of the lymphatic system?
Fluid recovery
Immunity
Lipid abosorption
Right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct empty into
subclavian veins on each side
Develops t cells and secrets hormones
Thymus
Clean and filter lymph
site of B cell activation
Lymph nodes
Filters blood
Spleen
Upper respiratory system is formed by
Nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx
Warms cleanses and humidifies warm air
detects odors and amplifies voice
Nose
Keeps food and drink out of airway
Larynx
Boyle’s law
Inverse relationship between pressure and volume
When the diaphram is contracted is it flat or curved
flat
Phrenic nerve is composed of
C3 C4 C5 keep the diaphram alive
Oxygen transports in the blood using
hemoglobin
98.5 % hemoglobin
1.5 % dissolved in plasma
