RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Flashcards
- involves chemical and physical processes by which an
organism exchanges gasses with the environment - osmotic and chemical process
Respiration
also called breathing, refers to the process of air flow into the lungs during
inhalation (inspiration) and out of the lungs during exhalation (expiration)
pulmonary ventilation
refers to the movement of air in and out of the alveoli
Alveolar ventilation
brought by cellular respiration that
involves metabolic reactions such converting chemical energy from oxygen
or nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), then release of waste
products
oxygen utilization
- (oxygen and carbon dioxide) across a membrane in
the lungs - oxygen diffuses from the air capillaries into the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood into the air capillaries
gas exchanges
involving ventilation and gas
exchange in the lungs
external respiration
gas exchange between
the blood and other tissues.

trachea or windpipe
may branch-off at the level of the third intercostal space
third bronchus
is composed of a series of C-shaped hyaline cartilage that
provide cross-sectional rigidity to resist collapse and are joined one to another
by elastic annular ligaments that permit the trachea considerable flexibility to
follow movement of the neck.
tracheal tube
conducts air into the lungs
bronchus
branch from the trachea are the right main bronchus and the left main bronchus
the first (primary) bronchi
are narrower branches that bifurcate from the primary bronchi to the different lobes of the lungs
the secondary (lobar) bronchi
are branches of the secondary bronchi which are narrower and located in the different segments of each lobe
the tertiary (segmental) bronchi
