Physio 1 Flashcards
Pulmonary ventilation
The inflow of o2 from the atmosphere to alveoli and the outflow of co2 from alveoli to the atmosphere
Pulmonary perfusion
The cardiac output from the right ventricle to the lung
Exchange of gases
Between pulmonary ventilation and pulmonary perfusion via
Pulmonary membrane- alveoli
Part from the passage part of the respiratory system where there’s no gas exchange
Air conducting zone
Because of it’s thick wall and so it have protective function
Air conducting zone have a cartilaginous circular ring . Why …
To prevent the area from collapsing
Air conducting zone have a longitudinal elastic fibres
To allow lengthening and shortening of the bronchi with lung expiation and collapsing
Muscles needed for normal inspiration process
Diaphragm
External intercostal muscle
The respiratory system consists of
Respiratory passages- air conducting zone , respiratory zone
Respiratory muscles
Respiratory centres
Pulmonary circulation
Diaphragm during the normal inspiration
It - contract - and decent 1cm
Increase vertical diameter of the chest
Decrease intra alveolar pressure
So inspiration
The only nerve that causes death if it is effected
Phrenic nerve of diaphragm
Action of external intercostal muscle
Normal inspiration muscle
Contraction - elevation of ribs and sternum
Increase antero posterior diameter
Muscles of forced inspiration
Diaphragm
Intercostal muscle
Sternomastoid muscle
Scaleni muscle
Aelevator scapule
Erector spinae muscle
Which muscle included in the normal expiration
Passive process no need for muscles
