Q

When carbon dioxide combines with water, the compound becomes ?
Carbon +water

A

Carbonic Acid

16
Q

It consists of two cyclic phases: __________ , which brings air into the lungs and expiration , which forces air out of the lungs. What is this called

A

Inspiration respiration

17
Q

This gas is then transported by the blood to __________ cells.

A

TISSUE

18
Q

The gas that diffuses from the alveolus, across the respiratory membrane, and into the pulmonary capillary is __________

A

OXYgen

19
Q

Exchange of gases between atmosphere & body cells
What is this called?

A

RESpiration
aka breathing

20
Q

What function are from the respiratory system?

A

-pH balance
-sense of smell
-water concentration of air
-produce vocal sounds
-temp control
-filter air

21
Q

What are the upper parts of the respiratory system?

A

Nose
Nasal Cavity
Sinuses
Pharynx
Larynx

22
Q

oxygen used for adrenose triphosphate(ATP)
What is this event called?

A

CELLular Respiration

23
Q

List the large cartilages in the larynx

A

Thyroid(Adams apple)
Cricoid
Epiglottic

24
Q

list the smaller cartilages in the larynx

A

Amanda Can Catch
Aryteniod
Corniculate
Cuneiform

25
Q

Boyles law consists of if inside alevoli ______ it causes to pull ______ air into lungs

A

decreases; more
talks about equilibrium

26
Q

What happens to O2 that doesn’t go into RBC?

A

it turns into plasma

27
Q

passageway of the airway in lung

A

lobe (connection to lymph & blood vessels)
lobule
terminal bronchioles
alveoli nerves –blood &lymph vessels

28
Q

Events in inspiration

A

Phrenic nerve pulses = muscle contraction in diaphragm
Diaphragm moves DOWN & muscles may raise ribs
INTRa alveolar pressure decreases
Atmosphereic pressure become greater bc forced air into respiratory tract
LUNGS FILL W/AIR

29
Q

Events in EXpiration

A

Diaphragm/muscles RELAX
Lungs RECOIL & surface tension @ alevolar walls
Recoil = INCREASE intra alveolar pressure(less air = high al pressure)
AIR FORCED OUT

30
Q

What are the major respiratory areas? Describe them

A

Ventral = RHYTHYM OF BREATH
Dorsal= modifies (ventral) activity for spefs situation

31
Q

ones inspiration and expiration makes an event called

A

Respiratory Cycle

32
Q

Vital capacity varies depending on…

A

gender, age, body size

33
Q

what are the three types of respiratory volumes. describe characteristics

A

-inspiratory reserve volume
amount of air that can be inhaled ADDITION to tidal vol
-expiratory reserve volume
amount of air that can be Exhaled ADDITION to tidal
-residual volume
air that remains in lungs after forceful
