Respiratory/Immune Flashcards
what is external respiration
the exchange of gases between the atmosphere and blood
what is internal respiration
gas exchange between capillary blood and the cells in tissue
where does the conducting zone end
terminal bronchioles
how many bronchopulmonary segments does the right lung have
10
how many bronchopulmonary segments does the left lung have
8
what does each terminal bronchiole supply
one lung lobule
what type of alveolar cell make up 97% of an alveoli
type 1 alveolar cells
what type of alveolar cells make up 3% of an alveoli
type 2 alveolar cells
what is nutritional flow
when the lung tissue receivesoxygenated blood form the bronchial arteries, which branch off from the aorta
what is pulmonary flow
the pulmonary arteries supply the lung capillaries which turn into the pulmonary vein
how does the diaphram help inspiration
stretches the thoracic cavity longwise
how do external intercostal muscles help inspiration
move ribs up and outward expanding the ribcage
how does the sternoclamatoid muscle help inspiration
elevates the sternum
how do the scalenes help inspiration
elevate the top two ribs
how do the internal intercostal muscles help expiration
muscles pull ribs downward & inward, reducing the diameter of the rib cage
how do abdominal muscles help expiration
depress the lower ribs and elevate the diaphragm by increasing abdominal pressure
when does inspiration occur
when pressure in the lungs becomes lower than the pressure in the atmosphere, P lung < P atmosphere
when does expiration occur
occurs when pressure in the lungs is higher than the pressure in the atmosphere, P lung > P atmosphere
what is transpulmonary pressure
The pressure difference between the pressure inside the alveoli and the pressure outside the lungs in the pleural cavity
what are the 2 ways that O2 is transported in the blood
dissolved in the plasma and bound to hemoglobin
what is a Bohr shift
a shift in the oxy-hemo curve to right, due to low blood ph, increased blood PCO2, and increased temperature
what is hypoxia
inadequate oxygen at the tissue level
what is anemia
lowered ability of blood to carry oxygen because of low hemoglobin
what is hypoxemia
low blood O2 due to low hemoglobin saturation
what are the three methods of CO2 transportation
in plasma as bicarbonate ions, bound to hemoglobin as carbaminohemoglobin, disolved in plasma
