Lecture 1: Course Intro, Functional Anatomy and Resp. Mechanics Flashcards
What 4 structures are apart of the upper airway
- Nose
- Mouth
- Pharynx
- Larynx
What 3 structures are apart of the lower airway?
- Trachea
- Bronchial tree
- Lungs
Why do alveolar ducts and sacs have a bumpy surface
To increase surface area to aid in gas exchange
How many lobes does the right lobe have anteriorly and laterally?
3
How many lobes does the right lobe have posteriorly?
How many lobes does the left lobe have anteriorly, laterally, and posteriorly?
2
How many segments does the right lobe have?
10
How many segments does the left lobe have?
8
Name the 10 right lobe segments on the picture
Label the 8 left lobe segments on the picture
Label the heart
What is the respiratory system made of (2)?
- Pump
- Lungs
What is the cardiovascular system made of (2)?
- Heart
- Peripheral vasculature
How does the cardiovascular and respiratory system work together?
The work together to provide the pathway for O2 and CO2 transport
O2 atmosphere -> tissue
CO2 tissues -> atmosphere
What is respiration?
Process that contributes to gas exchange by uptaking atmospheric O2 into the organism and eliminating CO2 from the organism to the environment
External respiration occurs where and what does it involve?
Occurs in the lungs and it involves the transfer between blood and the atmosphere
Internal respiration occurs where and what does it involve?
Occurs in systemic circulation and it involves the transfer between blood and tissues
Describe external respiration components at the lungs
Describe internal respiration components at the tissues
What are the 2 mechanical components of breathing and how are they coupled together?
- Pump (respiratory muscles & chest wall)
- Lung (gas exchange organ)
Coupled together by the pleural sac
C
Describe what each part of this symbol stands for
P (primary symbol)
Pressure or partial pressure
V (primary symbol)
Volume of gas (ml or L)
Q (primary symbol)
Volume of blood (ml or L)
C (primary symbol)
Content or concentration of gas in blood
F (primary symbol)
Fractional concentration of gas in a dry gas mixture (air)
S (primary symbol)
Saturation (of hemoglobin with oxygen)
