respiration during exercise Flashcards
what are the three functions of the lung
remove co2
replace o2
regulation of acid-base balance
what is ventilation
mechanical process of moving air in and out of the lungs
the diaphragm is the
only muscle in body essential for life
during diffusion where does oxygen move
through the alveoli to the capillaries
during diffusion where does carbon dioxide move
through the capillaries to the alveoli then is exhaled
what is the conducting zone made up of
treachea
primary bronchus
bronchial tree
terminal bronchioles
what is the purpose of the conducting zone
gets air into the lungs
what is the respiratory zone made up of
terminal bronchiole
respiratory bronchioles
alveolar sacs
alveolus
what is the purpose of the respiratory zone
movement of gases from lungs to bloodstream and movement of gases from bloodstream into lungs
3 roles of the conducting zone
warms air, humidifies air, filters air
what is bOyLe’s Law?
the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure
if the volume of the gas in a closed container increases …
the pressure of the gas decreases
if the volume of the gas decreases …
the pressure of the gas increases
when does inspiration occur
when atmospheric pressure is greater than it is in the lungs
when does expiration occur
when pressure is greater in your lungs than in the atmosphere
