Respiratory Flashcards
Airway Resistance
Decreases when broncioles dilate
What is the function of type II pnemocytes (alveolar cells)?
Produces surfactant
If the volume of a container holding a gas or liquid increases, the pressure exerted by that gas/liquid within the container will
Decrease
Which of the following are structures of the respiratory zone
Respiratory Bronchioles
Alveolar ducts
Alveoli sacs
Vocal cords
Larynx
The majority of carbon dioxide (CO2) is transported through the blood:
As bicarbonate ions
Carbon dioxide moves into blood
Internal respiration
Oxygen moves out of blood
Internal respiration
Oxygen moves into blood
External respiration
Carbon dioxide moves out of blood
External respiration
Lines the respiratory zone
Respiratory membrane
Allows gas exchange
Respiratory membrane
Lines the conducting zone
Respiratory mucosa
Composed of type I pneumocytes and endothelial cells
Respiratory membrane
Cleanses, warms & moisturizes the air
