Respiratory

Question 1

How many Alveoli in the lung?

Answer 1

Millions

Question 2

What moves Mucus and other particulates out of the lung?

Answer 2

Cillia

Question 3

What is the order for the pathway of air into the lungs?

Answer 3

Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Alveoli

Question 4

External respiration

Answer 4

process of gas exchange between atmosphere and body tissue.

Question 5

Internal respiration

Answer 5

process of gas exchange between the blood, the interstitial fluids, and the cells. Within the cell, respiration generates energy using oxygen and glucose and provides the waste as carbon dioxide

Question 6

The two lungs are separated by the ____________

Answer 6

Mediastinum

Question 7

Oxygen is transported in the blood two ways:

Answer 7

• 1.5% of oxygen is carried via the plasma as a dissolved gas.
• 98.5% of oxygen is carried in the blood bound to the protein hemoglobin via red blood cells.

Question 8

Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood three ways:

Answer 8

• 5% is carried via the plasma as a dissolved gas.
• 10% is bound to deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) in red blood cells and forms carbaminohemoglobin.
• 85% is transported as dissolved bicarbonate ions in the plasma.

Question 9

Medullary Inspiratory Center

Answer 9

generates rhythmic nerve impulses that stimulate contraction of the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles.

Question 10

Pneumotaxic Area

Answer 10

inhibits the inspiratory center, which limits the contraction of inspiratory muscles.

Question 11

Apneustic Area

Answer 11

stimulates the inspiratory center, which prolongs the contraction of inspiratory muscles.

Question 12

What process is this : Diaphragm contracts, which causes the chest cavity to enlarge and draw air into lungs.

Answer 12

Inhalation

Question 13

85% of carbon dioxide is transported in the blood via __________

Answer 13

Dissolved Bicarbonate Ions in Plasma
