Q

when pressure goes up, volume goes down

when pressure goes down volume goes up

when diaphragm relaxes - increased pressure in lungs – decreased volume — increased air flows out

25
where does external respiration take place
alevoli
26
what factors decrease airflow in respiratory system
increased PNS activity
27
hemoglobin molecule binds 4 atoms of iron, allowing it to bind to 4 molecules of oxygen
28
% of O2 carried in blood by hemoglobin
98.5%
29
what muscles are involved w normal (quiet breathing) (inspiration or expiration)
external intercostals and diaphragm
30
which muscles are involved with deep breathing (inspiration)
SCM, scalene's, pec minor
31
which muscles involved with deep EXPIRATION breathing
abdominals and intercostals
32
where does gas exchange start
respiratory bronchioles
33
what is the carina
where bronchi separate and where the cough reflex is highly sensitive area
34
which side of the lung has the horizontal fissure and middle lobe
right side
35
which side of the lung has the cardiac fissure
left
36
4 alveolar wall layers
type 1 and 2 epithelial basement membrane capillary base membrane capillary endothelium
37
components of air
78% nitrogen 21% oxygen 1% other gases
38
what does surfactant do
increases surface tension keeping alveoli open prevents collapsing
39
henry's law
gases in a solution proportional gases and fluids supplemental oxygen
40
what is the conducting zone
bringing air into lungs nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles
41
what is the respiratory zone
site of gas exchange secondary segmental bronchi, tertiary bronchi, alveolar ducts, alveola sacs and alveoli
42
chemoreceptors detect
levels of O2, H+, CO2 found in carotid and aortic arches
43
what produces sound in vocal cords
air passing through CLOSED vocal cords
44
what does the fluid in between the pleural cavity do (surfactant)
decrease friction
45
when you breath air into lungs, how much air reaches respiratory bronchioles
70%
46
how is CO2 carried in blood
carbonic acid bicarbonate
47
function of respiratory system
gas exchange and regulate pH
48
upper respiratory tract
nose pharynx
49
lower respiratory tract
larynx voicebox trachea bronchi lungs
50
which way does the epiglottis move for breathing
anteriorly
51
name the tonsils
pharyngeal lingual palatine
52
what is the glottis
space over the vocal cords
53
why are mens voices lower
thicker and longer vocal cords vibrate SLOWER
54
what is the conducting zone
bringing air into lungs, no gas exchange nose pharynx larynx trachea bronchi bronchioles terminal bronchioles
55
what is the blood supply to the lungs
bronchiole arteries
56
what does SNS stimulation do to the respiratory system
causes airway dilation or patent PNS constricts
57
what muscle is responsible for opening of vocal cords
posterior cricoarytenoid muscle
58
what muscle is responsible for closing of vocal cords
lateral cricoarytenoid muscle
