oxygen unloading

22
Q

where are peripheral chemoreceptors?

A

carotid and aortic bodies

23
Q

gas exchange between blood in systemic capillaries and tissue cells

A

internal respiration

24
Q

layer of pleura attached to the thoracic cavity and diaphragm

A

parietal pleura

A

intrapleural pressure

26
Q

which respiratory chemoreceptors have greater influence over respiratory rate?

A

central chemoreceptors

27
Q

amount (in addition to tidal volume) exhaled forcefully

A

A

intrapulmonic pressure

33
Q

inherent ability of bronchioles to regulate airflow and arterioles to regulate blood flow simultaneously

A

ventilation-perfusion coupling

34
Q

how do oxygen and CO2 move during external respiration?

A

O2: out of alveoli into pulmonary capillaries CO2: out of pulmonary capillaries into alveoli

35
Q

how does acidity affect oxygen unloading?

A

low pH increases it

36
Q

exchange of bicarbonate ion out of and Cl- into RBCs

A

chloride shift

37
Q

the hypothetical pressure of that gas if it alone occupied the volume of the mixture at the same temperature

A

38
Q

how does temperature affect oxygen unloading?
