Exam 3 Flashcards
The pathways of the components of the ventilator system
Ambient air enters the _______; Mouth; ____________(and adjusts to body temperature, Filtered, and humidified); Two Bronchi; ________________; Alveoli(alveolar ducts, alveolar sac, alveolar pores)
T/F
Alveoli have more than 600 million alveoli
True
Alveoli provide the surface for _____ exchange between lung tissue and ________
Gas
Blood
During inspiration the diaphragm ____________
Descends
During inspiration the ribs ______
Rise
During _______________ the diaphragm moves upward
Expiration
T/F
During expiration the ribs lower
True
Conducting zone
Trachea and terminal bronchioles; No alveoli= anatomical dead space
Transitional and respiratory zones
Bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli; Contains the largest portion of total lung volume 2.5-3L
Ficks law of diffusion:
Governs gas _______________ across a fluid membrane
- _____ diffuses through a sheet of tissue at a rate:
1. ______________ proportional to tissue area, a ____________ constant,and pressure differential of the gas on each side of the membrane
2. Inversely proportional to __________ thickness
Diffusion
Gas
Directly; diffusion
Tissue
“Wetting agent” lipoprotein mixture of proteins, phospholipids, and calcium ions produced by alveolar epithelial cells(to reduce surface tension)
The Surfactant
T/F
W/o surfactant, small alveoli would collapse from high collapsing pressures
True
Tidal volume: air moved during the _______________ or expiratory phase of each breathing cycle(0.4-1.0L)
Inspiratory
Inspiratory reserve volume: Inspiring as deeply as possible following a normal inspiration(2.5-___L above tidal air)
3.5
Expiratory reserve volume: after a normal exhalation, continuing to ________ and forcing as much air as possible from the lungs(1.0-1.5L)
Exhale
Forced vital capacity: total volume of _____ voluntarily moved in one maximal breath; it includes TV plus IRV and ERV(4-5L in young ______) and (3 to ___L in young women)
Air
Men
4
Pulmonary Ventilation two views:
- Volume of air moved into or out of the ______________ tract each minute
- Air volume that __________ only alveolar chambers each minute
Respiratory
Ventilates
