Respiratory Flashcards
Respiration
Processed by which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between lungs and environment. The supply cells with oxygen needed and remove carbon dioxide waste.
What are the three types of respiration and their function?
External respiration gas exchange between lungs and external environment
Internal respiration exchange between cells and lungs via blood
Cellular respiration oxygen is used for metabolism to break down nutrients for energy
Ventilation in healing in exhaling of diaphragm
Diaphragm
Why flat muscle stretching across bottom of rib cage
Inhale diaphragm go flat
Exhale, diaphragm rises and relaxes
What regulates breed
Medulla oblongata monitors carbon dioxide levels
Functions of the upper respiratory tract
Mouth and nasal cavity: entrance for air and helps moisture and warm air
Pharynx: where nasal cavity and mouth meat in the throat
Larynx: opening of trachea have the vocal cords
Trachea : pathway to the lungs
Lungs how many lobes
Have three lobes on the right and two lobes on the
Bronchi
Lead to either the left or right lung, then branches into smaller passageways bronchioles
Alveoli
Dead ends, a bronchioles air sack wrapped in capillaries were gas exchange occurs
The process of gas exchange
Blood returning from cells in body is high and carbon dioxide, then flows through the blood vessels. External respiration occurs oxygen in air inside alveoli diffuses in blood carbon dioxide diffuses out to alveoli.
How vocal cords make sounds
Close vocal cords in excel air from lungs, causing vibration
The long cleaners and their functions
Mucus produced throughout respiratory system to keep moisture
Celia continuously brush mucus upwards to the respiratory track
Compare pulmonary ventilation, and cellular rest
Pulmonary ventilation is the process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide controlled by the diaphragm
Cellular respiration where oxygen is produced by the mitochondria and carbon dioxide becomes the byproduct
Describe pulmonary ventilation
Diaphragm contracts rib cage rises, chest cavity expand because lungs are sealed it causes a vacuum effect during inhalation
Exhale diaphragm relaxes, pushing air out
Describe the diseases
Bronchitis bronchi gets swollen and clogged
Emphysema last of elasticity in the lungs
Lung cancer, abnormal growth of cells
asthma, air passageway becomes narrower
