Q

External Respiration

A

Breathing air in and out and transporting it to the circulatory via the heart

1) Ventilation (atm and air sacs)
2) O2/CO2 between alveoli and blood
3) Transport O2/CO2 by blood between lungs/tissues

A

how much effort is required to stretch/distend the lungs

2) Alveolar surface tension (low, prevent collapsing)

38
Q

Elastic Recoil

A

how readily the lungs rebound after being stretched

1) Elastic C.T.

Q

Pulmonary surfactant function:

A

decrease surface tension

contributes to lunch stability

41
Q

Pulmonary surfactant benefits:

A

increases pulmonary compliance

reduces lungs tendency to recoil, when we don’t want it to

42

amount of air that’s left in the lungs after forcefully inspire

44
Q

A

amount of air you can expire forcefully
