Q

differentiate between external and internal composition of nose

A

ex :
- bone (ethmoid)
- cartilage (hyaline)
- tissue (fibro fatty)
internal :

- ciliated mucous membrane (secrete sticky mucous for moisturizing air, which the air in turn travels through pharynx)
- blood capillaries (warms & maintains the air to 30C)

Q

why does the diaphragm relax when the chest contracts during exhalation

A

pressure around lungs is high, and thus air leaves/is out
vice versa for inhalation
as pressure is low so pleura/chest expands and there is space around lungs so air enters

Q

how does partial pressure affect oxygen release into the tissue from the arteries

A
  • Muscles require more O2, so there is less partial pressure of O2 in tissue (20mmHg), more O2 will be released
  • adipose tissues have higher partial pressure (80 mmHg) so less O2 is released.
