lungs: mechanics of respiration Flashcards
in between the ribs
intercostal space
internal organs in main cavities
viscera
pleurae
serous membrane lining for lungs
protects lower airway from foreigns
upper airway
respiratory system supplies O2 to cells and removes CO2 by __
ventilation and diffusion
increased CO2 levels increases __
respiratory rate
pons and medulla
regulates CO2 and O2 levels
process of moving gas in and out of lungs through inspiration and expiration
ventilation
fever with increased breathing rate is increase risk for
sepsis
heart arch of aorta superior vena cava lower esophagus lower part of trachea
right and left pleural cavities
O2 and CO2 move from high to low concentration
diffusion
sternum components
manubrium
body
xiphoid process
if fever, check to see if __ matches
increase respirations
homeostasis is a __ balance
acid-base balance
upper airway includes
nose
pharynx
larynx
intrathoracic trachea
hypoventilation to
increase CO2
