Respiratory pp pt 2 Flashcards
The air that enters the lungs after moving through the upper respiratory system has been optimally: filtered….
filtered to free it of debris
Warmed (at body temperature)
Humidified (saturated with water)
Oxygen diffuses into
pulmonary capillaries
When Oxygen diffuses into pulmonary capillaries, most combines with ____in red blood cells to form ____
hemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin
CO2 diffuses out of
pulmonary capillaries
When oxygen diffuses into pulmonary capillaries, Most carbon dioxide is transported in the form of
bicarbonate ion
When oxygen diffuses into pulmonary capillaries some carbon dioxide combines with hemoglobin to form
carbaminohemoglobin
3 Lower Respiratory Tract Infections
Acute bronchitis, Pneumonia, Pulmonary tuberculosis
This Lower Respiratory Tract Infection, is an Infection of primary and secondary bronchi
Acute bronchitis:
This Lower Respiratory Tract Infection is Viral, bacterial, or fungal infection of the lungs in which bronchi and alveoli fill with fluid
Pneumonia:
This Lower Respiratory Tract Infection is caused by tubercle bacillus
Pulmonary tuberculosis
This disorder has Fibrous connective tissue build up
Pulmonary fibrosis
This disorder is when airways inflamed & filled with mucus
chronic bronchitis:
This disorder is when Alveoli are distended and walls are damaged, reducing the surface area available for gas exchange
This disorder is when
This disorder is when airways are unusually sensitive to specific irritants. When exposed to the irritants, the smooth muscles in the bronchioles undergo spasms
asthma
This cancer begins with thickening and callusing of the cells lining the airways, atypical cells appear in the thickened lining, cells from the tumor break loose and metastasize, can have several causes, one of which is cigarette smoking
lung cancer
