1
Q

What is respiration? When does gas exchange happen?

A

It is the exchange of gas between an organism and its environment which happens in the alveoli
Gas exchange happens within the minute air sacs known as the alveoli

Q

What happens to our lungs, ribs, and air pressure when we inhale?

A

Lung Expansion:
* Diaphragm Contracts: The diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle below your lungs, flattens downward.
* Ribs Expand: The intercostal muscles between your ribs contract, lifting the ribcage outward.
* Increased Volume: This combined action creates more space in the thoracic cavity.
* Lung Inflation: As the space increases, the lungs expand to fill it.

Air Intake:
* Lower Pressure: The increased volume of the lungs creates a lower pressure inside them compared to the outside air. (The gas molecules are attracted to lower pressure, thus they go inside our lungs)
* Air Inflow: Air is drawn into the lungs through the nose and mouth, filling the expanded spaces.
* In essence, the inhalation process involves creating more space in the chest cavity and drawing air into the lungs to fill that space.

Q

Which one of the following is NOT true of inspiration:
a. contraction of the diaphragm muscle helps increase the size of the thoracic cavity
b. relaxation of the external intercostal muscles helps increase the size of the thoracic cavity
c. increased intrapulmonary volume causes inhaled gasses to spread out
d. the decreased gas pressure produces a partial vacuum that forcibly sucks air in
e. air continues to move into the lungs until intrapulmonary pressure equals atmospheric pressure

A

b. relaxation of the external intercostal muscles helps increase the size of the thoracic cavity
Explanation: During inspiration, the external intercostal muscles contract, not relax. Their contraction lifts the rib cage upward and outward, increasing the thoracic cavity’s volume. Relaxation of these muscles would actually reduce the size of the thoracic cavity.

102
Q

How many layers does the vocal folds have? List all of them from the most superficial

A
  1. Squamous epithelium - thin, protective layer; provides a smooth surface for vocal fold vibration and is kept moist by a thin mucus layer.
  2. Superficial lamina propria - it gives cushion to the vocal folds; a soft, gel-like layer made of loosely organized connective tissue (mostly elastin fibers). Allows for flexibility and the wave-like motion of the vocal folds during vibration.
  3. Intermediate lamina propria - composed of elastin fibers running in an anterior–posterior direction, making them cross layered with the SLP; Contains more densely packed elastin fibers, providing both elasticity and some structure.
  4. Deep layer - composed primarily of collagen fibers, which provide strength and support. Works with the intermediate layer to give the vocal folds stability while maintaining some flexibility.
  5. Vocalis Muscle (Thyroarytenoid muscle) - The deepest layer, consisting of the vocalis muscle, part of the thyroarytenoid muscle. Responsible for controlling the tension and length of the vocal folds, contributing to pitch control.
103
Q

Layer of the vocal fold: the combination of these two layers provides both elasticity and strength

A

The intermediate layer provides elasticity due to its elastin fibers, and the deep layer provides strength due to its collagen fibers. Together, they balance flexibility and support for proper vocal fold function.

Q

A

Decreases

152
Q

Explain the Bernoulli effect

A

As we exhale, the diaphragm relaxes, rising and reducing the volume of the thoracic cavity, which increases the pressure in the lungs. This pressure forces air up toward the larynx, where the vocal folds are located.

Initially, the air pressure below the vocal folds (subglottic pressure) increases. When this pressure becomes high enough, it forces the vocal folds apart, creating a narrow opening through which air can pass. As the vocal folds open, the subglottic pressure temporarily decreases, and the velocity of the air passing through the narrow opening increases. (When air goes through a narrower opening, it moves faster because it has to squeeze through, and this faster-moving air has lower pressure.) This high-velocity airflow creates a drop in pressure between the vocal folds, known as the Bernoulli effect, which pulls the vocal folds back together. This cycle of the vocal folds being pushed apart by higher pressure below and then pulled back together by lower pressure (plus their natural elasticity) happens very quickly—many times per second.

The process repeats rapidly, causing the vocal folds to open and close in a cycle that produces vibration. This vibration is what generates sound. The pressure difference between the lower and upper parts of the vocal folds, along with the Bernoulli effect and the elastic recoil of the vocal folds, maintains the ongoing cycle of vibration and closure.
