Q

functions of the respiratory system

A

-provides gas exchange and air movement (intake of O2 and elimination of CO2)
-Regulates and maintains body and blood ph
-Contains receptors for sense of smells
-procedures sound and speech (vocalizations)
-Filters air/ also warms, moistens the air
-Excretes H2O and heat

16
Q

False vocal cords

A

vestibular folds, located superior to the vocal cords

17
Q

True vocal cords

A

Vocal folds, vibrate to produce sound

18
Q

Trachea

A

5-6 inches
Anterior to esophagus
cartilage rings stacked on top of eachother

19
Q

Bronchi

A

Tubes that branch off of the trachea and extend into lungs
Right Bronchus is shorter and more vertical
Swallowed objects are more likely to lodge in the right than the left

20
Q

Bronchioles

A

attaches bronchi to the alveolur ducts

21
Q

Alevoli

A

gas exchange between lungs and blood occurs

22
Q

Visceral pleura

A

deep (layer attached to lungs)

23
Q

Parietal Pleura

A

superficial ( attached to thoracic wall)

24
Q

Pleural Cavity

A

region in between visceral and parietal walls (serous fluid)

25
Q

Ventilation

A

breathing

26
Q

Tidal Volume

A

normal quiet breathing

27
Q

Vital Capacity

A

All the air that can be exhaled (after max inspiration)

28
Q

External respiration

A

exchange of gases between the alveolar of the lungs and the blood in the lungs (O2 in CO2 out)

29
Q

Internal Respiration

A

Exchange of gases between alveoli in systemic capillaries and the blood in lungs. Occurs at tissue level.

30
Q

effects of carbon dioxide on ventilation

A

chemo receptors- CO2 is major controller of respiratory rate

31
Q

COPD

A

affects gas exchange of the alveoli

32
Q

Emphysema

A

barrel chest; lack of elasticity, lungs overinflate

33
Q

Flu

A

respiratory infection

34
Q

Pneumonia

A

Acute infamation of the alveoli

35
Q

SIDS

A

children die suddeny

36
Q

TB

A

destroys lung tissue and pleura

37
Q

Cystic Fibrosis

A

too much mucous in lungs

38
Q

Respiratory Syncytial Virus

A

viral infection of lungs and respiratory tract

39
Q

Respiratory distress

A

fluid in alveoli
