17
Q

cellular respiration

A

use of oxygen and CO2 by tissue cells.

18
Q

What are physical factors that influence respiratory rate?

A

talking, coughing exercising (some overlap with non respiratory air movements;

other non-neural factors: Volition, Emotional Factors, Chemical Factors)

19
Q

What are some symptoms of respiratory disease

A

shortness of breath, coughing w mucus, chest pain, wheezing: symptoms.

20
Q

Causes of respiratory diseases

A

allergies, pollution, chronic illnesses or infections, visiting places w these diseases or visiting contagious ppl with them, smoking, drugs, alcohol, genetics, age.

21
Q

Why are blood vessels found in alveolar tissue

A

That is where gas exchange occurs. Needs to b blood vessels surrounding tissue to receive and release oxygen

21
Q

What’s found in the center of bronchus

A

Air

21
Q

What is passing thru center of esophagus

A

Large food clump

22
Q

Where is digestion completed

A

Small intensine

23
Q

What is the purpose of the hyaline cartilage in the tracea

A

Helps give form and flexibility

24
Q

As depth increases for a diver..,

A

Lung volume decrease and po2 and no2 increase

25
Q

Which is not an example of an infectious disease

A. COPD
B. Pneumonia
c. Tuberculosis
D. Seasonal flu

A

A

26
Q

In the us more men are treated w. COPD

T or F

A

False

27
Q

What is the primary aid of decompression sickness

A

Breathing 100% oxygen at atmospheric pressure

28
Q

What causes shortness of breath

A

Bronchi tubes receive air from the trachea to bring to the lungs. If the trachea becomes inflamed, there is restricted blood flow in the bronchi.

29
Q

Aspect of pneumonia causing cyanosis: blue color

A

Lungs filled w fluid, not getting enough oxygen

30
Q

What is the Glottis

A

Consists of vocal chords, in larynx. And slit opening between them

31
Q

What is the opening to the windpipe

A

Glottis

32
Q

What is the glottis responsible for

A

Voice type and sound production

33
Q

What moves upward during swallowing

A

Glottis

34
Q

Epiglottis?

A

Covering to the opening of the windpipe, border of glottis

35
Q

Epiglottis responsible for…

A

Preventing food entering larynx

36
Q

Difference between left and right lungs

A

Right lung: more concave, 2 bronchi, loves separated w horizontal fissures

Left lung: single bronchus, has an oblique fissure, lighter, smaller because of space taken up by heart.

37
Q

What happens during exercise?.

A

Heart rate increases
Muscle cells respire more
Rate and depth of breathing increases

38
Q

Auscultation

A

Listening to internal sounds of body.

39
Q

Purpose of using auscultation

A

Examines circulatory system and respiratory system, and bowel sounds
