lec 35 respiratory Flashcards
where does low oxygen blood go
pumped from right ventricle into the pulmonary arteries- lungs
where does oxygenated blood go
returns to the left atrium via pulmonary veins
Which of the
following blood vessels are
NOT part of the pulmonary
circulatory system:
a. Arteries
b. Veins
c. Aorta
d. Capillaries
c. Aorta
what is pulmonary circulation
arteries tht leave the heart and go towards lungs, capillaires in sun and veins that leave the lungs going back to the heart.
In physiology, when we refer to external respiration, which of the
following is the best description.
a. The intracellular reaction of oxygen with organic molecules to produce
carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP
b. Inspiration and expiration
c. Cellular respiration
d. The movement of gases between the environment and the body’s cells
b. Inspiration and expiration
d. The movement of gases between the environment and the body’s cells
what is external respiration
the movement of gases between the environment and body cells
what can be included in external respiration
exchange of air between lungs and atmosphere
oxygen, and carbon dioxide
transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide(blood)
Beyond serving as a passage
way for air, the upper airways
and bronchi play an important
role in:
a. Warming air
b. Cooling air
c. Adding water vapor to air
d. Drying out the air
e. Filtering out foreign
material
a. Warming air
c. Adding water vapor to air
e. Filtering out foreign
material
how does air flow
mouth/nose- pharynx-larynx-trachea-primary bronchi-bronchioles
what is Alveoli
interconnected sacs and associated pulmonary capillaries in lungs
form exchange surface where oxygen moves from inhale air to blood and carbon dioxide moves from blood to air that is going to be exhaled
what is Alveoli
interconnected sacs and associated pulmonary capillaries in lungs
form exchange surface where oxygen moves from inhale air to blood and carbon dioxide moves from blood to air that is going to be exhaled
Which of the following would cause decrease gas exchange?
a. Increase in membrane thickness of alveoli
b. Increase oxygen intake
c. Increase rate of breathing
d. Increase surface area of alveoli
e. Increase airway resistance
a. Increase in membrane thickness of alveoli
e. Increase airway resistance
. Which of the following core concepts is best described by the alveoli being so
thin that gases can diffuse rapidly through them
a. Transformations of energy and matter
b. Systems
c. Information flow
d. Evolution
e. Structure function
. Structure function
what is the exchange of O2 AND CO2 in lungs and tissue by
simple diffusion across capillary membrane
moves down its partial pressure gradient
what is the transport of gases from lungs to tissues and tissues to lungs
by bulk flow in blood
moving down its blood pressure gradient
