Oxygenation Chapter 36 Flashcards
What system work together to achieve oxygenation?
pulmonary, cardiovascular,musculoskeleton, and nueological sytem
What is oxygenation?
the cells, tissue, and organs of the body are supplied with oxygen
What are the 2 major processes that occur in the pulmonary system to oxygenate the blood?
respiration and ventilation
ventilation vs. respiration
v: movement of air into and out of the lungs
r: exchange of oxygen/ carbon dioxide and alveolar capillary/ capillary cell membrabe
the air way consist of
nasal, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles
upper airway vs lower airway
Upper airway: above larynx
lower airway: below larynx
What is the major muscle for breathing?
diaphragm
The pulmonary and cardiovascular system work together to…
change one system and create changes in the other
what two systems regulate the movement of air into and out of the lungs?
musculoskeleton and neurological system
What do the airway structures do?
moisten the air, warm the air, and filter the air
true or false: the trachea lies in front of the esophagus
true
What is The function of the esophagus?
during swallowing it closes off so that food /fluid do not enter the lower airway
Bronchi and Bronchioles have what tie of layers?
smooth muscle layer
The right lung consists of how many lobes?
3 lobes
The left lung consist of how many lobes>
2 lobes
Gas exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide is pass back and forth between?
alveoli and capillaries
What are the types of alveoli?
1) gas exchange
2) produce surfactant (lower surface tension within alveoli to inflate during breathing)
What are the two major processes that occur in the pulmonary system?
ventilation and respiration
ventilation or respiration:
the movement of air into and out of the lungs though the act of breathing
ventilation
Respiration
the exchange of the gases oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs
