Q

what is the trachea?

A
  • a tube that extends from the pharynx into the chest cavity

30
Q

what happens as the bronchioles branch out?

A

they increase surface area, resulting in a highly efficient system

31
Q

what are alveoli?

A
  • grape-like clusters at the end of bronchioles
  • surrounded by capillaries
  • site of gas exchange (one cell thick)
  • moist to ensure efficient gas diffusion
32
Q

how many alveoli are in one pair of lungs?

A

about 300 million

33
Q

what are alveoli surrounded by?

A

capillaries

34
Q

what are lungs?

A
  • spongy-like due to alveolar sacs
  • contain cilia to protect from microbes and dust
  • monocytes hide in lung tissue waiting for foreign invaders
35
Q

how many lobes does each lung have?

A

right: 3 lobes
left: 2 lobes

36
Q

what is the purpose of monocytes in lung tissue?

A

to fight foreign invaders

37
Q

what is the pleura membrane?

A
  • each lung is surrounded by a pleura membrane
  • thin, double membrane with fluid in between the visceral pleura from the parietal pleural membrane
  • decrease friction
  • stick the lungs to the chests that they expand and contract when the chest moves
38
Q

what is pleurisy?

A
  • inflammation of the pleural membrane
  • causes build up of fluids in the cavity
  • puts pressure on the lungs
  • harder to breathe
39
Q

what is the thoracic cavity?

A
  • the cavity in the vertebrae body enclosed by the ribs between
  • aka. chest cavity
40
Q

are the lungs muscles?

A

no, they do not contract and expand on their own

41
Q

what must happen in order for air to be drawn into the lungs?

A

a change in pressure

42
Q

what two muscles establish a change in pressure in the lungs?

A
  1. the diaphragm

2. intercostal muscles

43
Q

what is the diaphragm?

A
  • a dome shaped layer of muscle at the bottom of the thoracic cavity
  • controls air pressure in the lungs
44
Q

what are the intercostal muscles

A
  • muscles found between and on the inside of the ribs

- control air pressure in the lungs

45
Q

what is Boyle’s law?

A

P1V1 = P2V2

46
Q

what is the pressure differences concept?

A
  • air will always move from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure
  • pressure of an area is dependant on volume changes of an area
47
Q

what happens to pressure when volume increases?

A

pressure decreases

48
Q

what happens to pressure when volume decreases?

A

pressure increases

49
Q

what determines the movement of gases into and out of the lungs?

A

pressure differences in the atmosphere and the chest cavity

50
Q

what happens to the intercostal muscles during inspiration and expiration?

A

insp: contraction
exp: relaxation

51
Q

what happens to the ribs during inspiration and expiration?

A

insp: move out and up
exp: move in and down

52
Q

what happens to the diaphragm during inspiration and expiration?

A

insp: contract and moves up and down
exp: relaxes back down into dome shape

53
Q

what happens to the volume of the chest cavity during inspiration and expiration?

A

insp: volume increases
exp: volume decreases

54
Q

what happens to the pressure in the chest cavity during inspiration and expiration?

A

insp: pressure decreases
exp: pressure increases

55
Q

what happens to the direction of air flow during inspiration and expiration?

A

insp: air drawn in
exp: air forced out

56
Q

what is the medical term for lungs collapsing?

A

pneumothorax

57
Q

what is pneumothorax?

A

this is when air collects between the pleura because of injury, the pressure outside of the lungs then causes them to contract

58
Q

what do doctors do to fix pneumothorax?

A

they insert a tube into the chest to withdraw the air that has entered the pleura, allowing the lung to re-inflate

59
Q

what is a spirograph?

A

a representation of the amount of air moving in and out of the lungs

60
Q

what is tidal volume?

A

the amount of air moved by a normal individual at rest

61
Q

what is the average tidal volume?

A

500mL

62
Q

what is expiratory reserve volume?

A

the max volume of gas that can be expired beyond the end of tidal expiration

63
Q

what is the average expiratory reserve volume?

A

1500mL

64
Q

what is inspiratory reserve volume?

A

the max volume of gas that can be inspired from the end of tidal inspiration

65
Q

what is the average inspiratory reserve volume?

A

3000mL

66
Q

what is residual volume?

A

the volume of gas remaining in the lungs after max expiration

67
Q

what is the average residual volume?

A

1200mL

68
Q

what is vital capacity?

A

the max amount of gas that can be inspired after max expiration

69
Q

what is the formula for vital capacity?

A

tidal volume + expiratory reserve volume + inspiratory reserve volume

70
Q

what is the average vital capacity?

A

males: 5000mL
females: 4500mL

71
Q

what is total lung capacity?

A

vital capacity + residual volume

72
Q

what is the average total lung capacity?

A

6000mL

73
Q

what are the different air volumes of the lungs?

A

tidal volume (normal breathing), expiratory reserve volume (max expiration below tidal expiration), inspiratory reserve volume (max inspiration above tidal inspiration), vital capacity (max inspiration after max expiration), residual volume (air volume always left over in the lungs after max expiration), total lung volume (vital capacity + residual volume)
