Q

Diaphragm (2)

A
  • muscular partition separating the thorax from the abdomen
  • its contraction increases the volume of the thorax and inflates the lungs for breathing

Q

What happens during inspiration at rest? (4)

A
  • diaphragm contracts, creating a larger thoracic cavity
  • external intercostal muscles contract, moves ribs up and out making the rib cage expand
  • lung volume increases and air pressure decreases
  • air moves into the lungs

Q

What happens during exhalation at rest? (4)

A
  • diaphragm relaxes, creating a smaller thoracic cavity
  • external intercostal muscles relax, moves ribs down and in making the rib cage contract
  • lung volume decreases and air pressure increases
  • air moves out lungs

Q

What is energy for muscle contraction used for? (3)

A
  • inspiration at rest
  • inspiration during exercise
  • expiration during exercise
20
Q

What happens during inhalation during exercise? (2)

A
  • ribcage up and out
  • internal intercostal muscles relax
  • external intercostal muscles contract
21
Q

What happens during exhalation during exercise? (3)

A
  • ribcage down and in
  • externa intercostal muscles relax
  • internal intercostal muscles contract
22
Q

Spirometry (2)

A
  • test used to measure pulmonary ventilation in humans
  • measures the volume and rate of air inhaled and exhaled over a period of time
23
Q

Tidal Volume

A

volume of air breathed in and out in one normal breath

24
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
additional inspired air over and above tidal volume
25
Expiratory Reserve Volume
volume of air in excess of tidal volume that can be exhaled forcefully
26
Residual Volume
volume of air in lung after a maximal exhalation
27
Total Lung Capacity (2)
- volume of air in lungs after a maximum inhalation - the sum of the vital capacity and residual volume
28
Vital Capacity
maximum volume of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation
29
Lung Volumes (2)
- can't be trained - are mostly determined by natural body size
30
Rate of Exhalation (2)
- can be trained with exercise - muscle controlling exhalation can be worked - a very sensitive marker of lung function
31
Cellular Respiration
- metabolic process that produces energy from food molecules - requires O2 and produces CO2 as waste
32
What is increased during exercise? (2)
- breathing rate - tidal volume
33
How does the brain regulate breathing rate?
brain monitors blood pH and alters breathing rate accordingly
34
How is blood pH related to ventilation?
- blood becomes more acidic when carbon dioxide levels rise - lower blood pH = more acidic - faster/deeper breathing expels CO2 and raises blood pH
35
Oxygen Deficit (2)
- when the body cannot deliver enough oxygen to the muscle cells during exercise - caused by exercise when there is an increase in blood CO2
36
How many receptors send signals to the brain to regulate ventilation appropriately?
3
37
What receptors send signals to the brain? (3)
- chemoreceptors - pulmonary stretch receptors - muscle proprioceptors
38
Chemoreceptors
detects changes in blood pH
39
Pulmonary Stretch Receptors
respond to stretching of the lung describing breaths
40
Muscle Proprioceptors
detect changes in the tension and pressure of muscle involved in breathing
41
Alveoli (4)
- air sacs where exchange of O2 and CO2 takes place - numerous and cover a large surface area - have thin walls so gases have a short distance to diffuse - have a good blood supply
42
How do gasses enter and exit the alveoli?
O2 and CO2 move across a thin barrier that separates alveoli from passing blood
43
Partial Pressure of Gas
measure of concentration of the gas in a mixture
44
What causes gas exchange in the correct directions? (4)
- air in alveoli has higher O2 pressure than blood - O2 moves from alveoli to blood - blood has higher CO2 pressure than alveoli - CO2 moves from blood alveoli
45
How is the pressure gradient between blood and alveoli?
it is maintained due to ventilation and blood flow
46
47
Hemoglobin
- in red blood cells - high affinity for O2 - transports most O2 in the blood and CO2 - iron containing protein
