Exam 3: Respiratory System Flashcards
What powers everything in the cell
ATP
What part of the cell is utilized by O2 in and CO2 out
mitochondria
What does the mitochondria produce from cellular respiration
aerobic ATP
aerobic atp is produced how
cellular respiration makes the mitochondria produce it
What are the three main functions of the repiratory system
permits gas exchange, enables olfaction and produces speech
What are the two main zones of the respiratory system
conducting zone and repiratory zone
What is inflammation of nasal cavity mucosa called
rhinitis
What zone of the respiratory system includes the main air passages
conducting zone
What zone of the respiratory system is the site of gas exchange
respiratory zone
What are the three parts of the respiratory zone
repiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli
How many phases of respiration are there
4
what are the four phases of respiration
- pulmonary ventilation
- external respiration
- transport
- internal respiration
Where does pulmonary ventilation happen
in the lungs
Where does external respiration happen
capillary beds
What happens in pulmonary ventilation
wind comes into the lung
What happens in external respiration
gas exchange in capillary beds, youre interacting with the external universe
What happens in the transport phase
get gases to the right place
What happens in internal respiration
blood and cell exchange
What is inflammation of the larynx,
laryngitis
what is an effect of laryngitis
losing your voice
Which respiratory zone has cilla
conducting zone
Where in the conducting zone do cilla appear
in the upper conducting zone structures
What do the cilla do
filter out larger debris
What is the respiratory membrane composed of?
alveolar + capillary walls
The alveolus in the respiratory membrane is surrounded by what?
capillaries
How many types of alveolar cells are there
2
What does type 1 alveolar cell do
does gas exchange
What does type 2 alveolar cell do?
secretes: antimicrobial proteins and surfactant
What does surfactant do?
reduce surface tension
What is Patm
pressure of the atmosphere
What is Pip
intrapleural pressure
What is Ppul
intrapulmonary pressure
What is transpulmonary pressure equal too
4 mm Hg
What is Ppul - Pip
transpulmonary pressure
What does Pip do
keeps lungs from deflating
What does alveolar elasticity want?
seeks deflated state
What does a hole in the plera do
loses the vacuum effect and loses Pip
WHat is inflammation of the bronchi
brochitits
What is a bronchospasm
contraction of smooth muscle
