heart Flashcards
what is inhalation?
breathing in
what is exhalation?
breathing out
What happens during inspiration?
lungs create a vacuum
intercostal muscles contract pulling ribs out and up
diaphragm contracts and flattens increasing chest size
so lung size can increase
lungs can expand more in exercise with sternocleidomastoid and pectorals
What happens during experation?
intercostal muscles relax and ribs go in and down
diaphragm relaxes goes up
lungs decrease in size
order of breathing in
(nose/ mouth - …)
nose/mouth
trachea
bronchi
bronchioles
capillaries
what is gaseous exchange?
.process where O2 from air in ALVEOLI moves into BLOOD in the capillaries
.CO2 goes from blood to alveoli
features of alveoli?
.large SA
.moist thin walls
.Short diffusion distance
.lots of capillaries
.large blood supply
What is lung volume?
amount of air inhaled, exhaled and stored in lungs
What is tidal volume?
amount of air breathed in and out during a normal breath
How to measure lung volume?
spirometer
What is inspiratory reserve volume?
amount of extra air that can be forcibly inhaled after normal breath
What is expiratory reserve volume?
amount of extra air that can be forcibly exhaled after normal breath
What is residual volume?
air that remains in lungs after max exhale. prevent lungs from collapsing
during exercise what happens to
tidal volume,
inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume
and residual volume?
TV increases
IRV decreases
ERV decreases
RV stays the same
what is heart made out of?
cardiac muscle
order of heart?
