Respiratory Anatomy Lab Flashcards
What are the three primary functions of the upper airway?
- Warm Air
- Humidify Air
- Filter Air
What are the three primary functions of the nose?
- Respiration
- Filtering
- Olfaction
What the the primary functions of the larynx?
- Airway Protection
- Voice Production
- Breathing
- Directing Food into the Esophagus
What are the cartilages of the larynx?
- Epiglottis
- Thyroid Cartilage
- Cricoid Cartilage
- Arytenoid Cartilage
- Corniculate Cartilage
- Cuneiform Cartilage
What is respiratory rate?
The number of breaths per minute.
What is tidal volume?
The amount of air inhaled and exhaled during a normal breath, usually approximatly 500 ml.
What is inspiratory reserve volume?
The extra volume of air that can be forcibly inhaled after a normal breath.
What is expiratory reserve volume?
The volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a normal breath.
What is vital capacity?
The maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after maximum inhalation.
What is residual volume?
The amount of air left in the lungs after maximum exhalation.
How did respiratory rate change between resting and after breathing into a paper bag? Why?
The respiratory rate increased due to increased concentration of CO2 in the blood from only breathing in previously exhaled air.
How does breathing into a paper bag help someone who is hyperventaling?
Hyperventaling causes the body to loose a significant amount of CO2 which can lead to tissue malfunction. Breathing into the bag increases the concentration ofr CO2 in your body.
How much of an increase in CO2 levels (Hypercapina) can a person handle before disfunctions occurs?
Hypercapnia occurs when CO2 reaches 45 mm Hg.
How does respiratory rate change between resting and holding ones breath? Why?
Respiratory rate increased because there was a build up on CO2 in the body that needed to be exhaled.
What happens to a respiratory rate to a person with heart failure?
Increase in respiratory rate.
Why is a large volume of residual volume necessary in the lungs?
So the lungs do not collapse.
Why do men have greater volumes than women?
Because men have physically bigger chests.
Compare tidal to residual and inspiratory/expiratory reserve volumes?
Inspiratory is the largest and this allows the body to increase respiration rates when more oxygen is needed and when more CO2 is needed to be exhaled.
