MBP Flashcards
What does respiratory airway include?
Nasal passage, pharynx, larynx,trachea,bronchi,bronchioles
bronchioles have alveoli at end in grapelike arrangement(exchange of co2 and o2)
ATP
Carbon dioxide generated due to supply of energy
Mitochondria job
supplies cell with energy for metabolism and muscle contraction
mitochondria structure
inner and outer membrane, outer membrane forms cristae, have own dna
alveoli
next to alveoli rich blood supply, close to sacs this means less diffusion distance
Pharynx structure
split into 2 tube, oesophagus and trachea, trachea lined with ciliated epithelium and cilia moves in wave towards pharynx.
epithileum secrete thick mucus to trap dust and move down towards oesophagus
macrophage job
macrophage in lung trap particulate matter by phagocytosis
they migrate up trachea and deposit material into oesphagus
chest cavity
diaphragm allow contraction and relaxation of lungs which allows us to breathe in and out
pleural cavity
liquid between chest wall and lungs
inhaling
diaphragm contracts. chest wall moves out
volume in chest cavity increases
reduction in fluid pressure of pleural cavity
pressure in lungs lower than atmospheric pressure therefore air moves into lungs down conc gradient
exhaling
diaphragm relax, chest wall move inward
increase in fluid pressure of pleural cavity
increase in pressure insie lungs above atmospheric pressure so air moves out lungs
residual volume
air left in our lungs after we breave out forcefully
expiratory reserve volume
additional amount of air that can be expired from lungs after normal expiration
tidal volume
amount of air that moves in or out of lungs with each respiratory cycle (500ml)
inspirtory reserve volume
amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after normal tidal volume (2500-3500ml)
how much oxygen do we inhale and how is it used
1000ml
800ml expired into blood
200ml absorbed into alveoli
heart pumps blood and 200ml/min of oxygen transferred to organs and tissue
how is oxygen transported
passive diffusion, high to low conc, molecules in closed container exert pressure against walls
what happens when oxygen reaches blood
10% dissolved into blood plasma
most o2 binds with haemoglobin
around 5mil rbc per ml of blood
30% of cell weight taken up by haemoglobin
remainder is absorbed by rbc
hyperventilation
hella o2 available
hypoventilation
small amount of o2 available
rbc structure
biconcave structure, reduces pressure inside
in middle 1 micron at edge 2 microns(biconcave)
whole width of rbc 7.5microns
how does PH affect saturation
High pH stabilises saturation at low pressure
Low pH stabilises saturation at high pressure as haemoglobin has less affinity for o2 at low ph.
what will less acid in lungs cause
encourage binding of oxygen to oxygen
what does more acid in capillaries cause
encourage release of oxygen from haemoglobin to tissues
carbon dixoide affinity
co2 has less affinity for haemoglobin
how is carbonic acid formed
co2 and water
how is co2 carried
in form of bicarbonate ion in blood
co2 removal
to be removed co2 needs be in lungs.
co2 which is released 8% us dissolved in plasma,25% of co2 dissolved in haemoglobin,67% dissolved into carbonic acid
how is carbonic acid formed
carbonate ions and hydrogen ions combining
number of genes and pairs
46,23
karotype?
photo of chromosomes used to understnad shape size and number and charactersitcs
function of reproductive system
allows transfer of genes from parents to child
protects embryo containing parental genes
where is sperm produced
seminiferous tubule
is sperm in middle mature or no
mature
