17
Q

inhalation

A

contraction of diaphragm/intercostal muscles leads to increase in thoracic cavity - diaphragm flattens

18
Q

air pressure (inhalation)

A

decrease in pressure INSIDE - atmosphere air pressure INCREASES

19
Q

exhalation

A

respiratory muscles relax - volume of thoracic cavity decreases

20
Q

air pressure (exhalation)

A

Increased pressure INSIDE - atmosphere air pressure is below inside’s

21
Q

gas exchange between alveoli and blood

A

external respiration

22
Q

air in alveoli

A

high in oxygen - low in CO2

23
Q

blood comes from heart

A

high in CO2 - low in oxygen

24
Q

gas exchange between blood and tissue

A

internal respiration

25
Q

blood (arteries) internal respiration

A

high in oxygen - low CO2

26
Q

tissue - internal respiration

A

high CO2 (cellular respiration) - low oxygen

27
Q

oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from ______ to _______ concentration

A

high to low concentration

28
Q

protein responsible for transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide

A

hemoglobin

29
Q

how many hemoglobin inside every red blood cell?

A

250 million

30
Q

bright red (arteries) = hemoglobin + __________

A

oxygen

31
Q

dark red (veins) = hemoglobin + __________

A

CO2

32
Q

respiratory volumes

A
  1. tidal volume 2. expiratory reserve volume 3. inspiratory reserve volume 4. residual volume
33
Q

normal volum of air exchange during breathing

A

tidal volume (500ml)

34
Q

air exhaled forefully from lungs after exhalation

A

expiratory reserve volume (3100ml)

35
Q

air inhaled forcefully into the lungs after normal breathing

A

inspiratory reserve volume (1200ml)

36
Q

air that is always remain in the lungs even after expiratory reserve

A

residual volume (1200ml)

37
Q

emphysema

A

destruction of the alveoli, caused by smoking and pollution, causes decrease in surface area of lung, limits amount of air exchange. can never recover fully.

38
Q

inflammation and overproduction of mucus in airways (respiratory disease)

A

asthma

39
Q

swelling and inflammation of bronchi caused by: viral or bacterial infection (respiratory diease)

A

bronchitis

40
Q

inflammation of the air sacs in the lungs caused by: bacterial or viral infection - bronchitis can lead to this (respiratory disease)

A

pneumonia
