Homework 13 Flashcards
The Krebs cycle and electron transport system make up this type of respiration
Cellular respiration
Movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide across membranes between the alveoli and blood and between the blood and body cells makes up this type of respiration
External respiration
The mechanics of breathing is technically called
Ventilation
Similar to the arterioles in the cardiovascular system these structures of the respiratory system can constrict and dilate to adjust air flow as needed
Bronchioles
These are alveolar cells are responsible for producing surfactant
Type II alveolar
This law states that the sum of the pressure of a mixed gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases in the mix
Dalton’s law
As volume increases pressure decreases and vice-versa this statement is the basis of this law
Boyle’s law
If atmospheric pressure is greater than alveolar pressure what will occur
Inspiration
These alveolar cells are the location for the movement of gases between the blood and the lungs
Type 1 alveolar
Increased respiration that matches an increase in metabolism as seen during exercise is called
Hyperpnea
Atmospheric air contains this percentage of oxygen
21%
The partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli is approximately _____ mmHg
100
The partial pressure of oxygen in Venous blood (systemic) of a resting individual is approximately _____ mmHg
40
The partial pressure of CO2 in systemic arterial blood is approximately _____ mmHg
40
The partial pressure of CO2 in the blood returning to the heart from the systemic circuit is approximately _____%
46%
Are found in each lung and Branch repeatedly into progressively smaller and smaller branches
Bronchi
Increase resistance to airflow decrease the amount of fresh air that reaches alveoli is called
Bronchioconstriction
Decreased resistance of airflow most often caused by paracrine signaling molecule CO2
Bronchodilation
Exhalation, movement of air out of the lungs
Expiration
Increased respiratory rate and or volume without increased metabolism (example blowing up a balloon)
Hyperventilation
Decreased alveolar ventilation (shallow breathing, asthma, restrictive lung disease)
Hypoventilation
Gases move from one place to another based on the _____ gradient
Pressure
The extent to which a gas dissolved in solutions reflects the _____ of the gas
Solubility
Gases move across cell membranes by this process
Simple diffusion
