Q

describe the process of a neuronal synapse after a signal has been sent down the axon

A

impulse arrives at the end bulb. the calcium voltage gated channels open allowing the calcium to flow into the cell causing neurotransmitters to be releases. the neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft to bind to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. sodium voltage gated channels open allowing sodium to enter the cell, depolarizing the post synaptic cell. a nerve impulse is initiated.

describe the 3 sections of the pharynx (what goes thru it)

A

nasophraynx (air only). oropharynx (air and food). laryngopharynx (divides air and food)

444
Q

what are the functions of the larynx?

A

prevents food from entering trachea. permits air. produces vocals

445
Q

what are the 9 cartilages of the larynx?

A

thyroid, cricoid, epiglottis, arytenoid, cuneiform, corniculate

446
Q

which of the 9 cartilages of the larynx are in pairs?

A

arytenoid, cuneiform, corniculate

447
Q

where is the vestibular fold?

A

above vocal folds

448
Q

where does the trachea divide into primary bronchi?

A

carina

449
Q

differentiate between left and right primary bronchi. sizes and amount of lobes

A

left is longer and more wider. right is shorter but goes vertical. left has 2 lobes and right has 3

450
Q

list the path of the respiratory zone

A

tertiary bronchiole, respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct, alveoli

451
Q

what are the two types of alveoli cells. differentiate between them

A

type 1 pneumocytes are long and flat. make up walls of alveoli and interface with pulmonary cavities. type 2 pneumocytes are cuboidal. they secrete surfactant to reduce surface tension. allows alveoli to remain popped open

452
Q

what are the surfaces of the lung?

A

costal surface, diaphragmatic surface, mediastinal surface (aka hilum)

453
Q

how many fissures does the right lung have? name them

A

2 (for 3 lobes): oblique and horizontal

454
Q

how many fissures does the left lung have? name them

A

1 (for 2 lobes): oblique

455
Q

which lung has a lingula?

A

left

456
Q

describe the pulmonary ligament

A

double layer of pleura from visceral to parietal

457
Q

what is the outer layer of the pleural cavity? inner layer?

A

outer layer: parietal. inner layer: visceral

458
Q

what is the relationship between alveolar pressure and atmospheric pressure?

A

alveolar pressure = atmospheric pressure

459
Q

when the thoracic cage expands…? (pressure)

A

parietal pleura expands too, decreasing intrapleural pressure. lung expands decreasing alveolar pressure

460
Q

what is pneumothorax?

A

when air exists in the thorax (it shouldnt be there!). caused by a puncture to pleural membrane

461
Q

what to note about the pressure and resistance of bronchial (systemic) circulation?

A

high pressure and high resistance

462
Q

what to note about the pressure and resistance of pulmonary circulation in the lungs?

A

low pressure and low resistance

463
Q

whats the goal of bronchial (systemic) circulation?

A

perfuse lung tissue

464
Q

what are the 3 zones in order oxygen must pass thru?

A

alveoli, fused basement membrane, pulmonary capillary

465
Q

what are the 3 zones in order carbon dioxide must pass thru?

A

pulmonary capillary, fused basement membrane, alveoli

466
Q

what is ventilation?

A

air in alveoli

467
Q

what is perfusion?

A

blood flow thru capillaries

468
Q

what is gas exchange dependent on?

A

V/Q: alveolar ventilation/cardiac output (perfusion)

469
Q

what is shunt?

A

perfusion but no ventilation

470
Q

what is dead space?

A

ventilation but no perfusion

471
Q

what is pulmonary edema?

A

leads to shunt. swelling and leaking of pulmonary capillaries caused fluid to accumulate and increases pressure in interstitium
