33
Q

Lungs are surrounded by ________.

A

Pleural Membrane

34
Q

It is attached to the diaphragm and lining of the thoracic wall.

A

Parietal Pleura

35
Q

It is attached to the lungs and the principal covering of the lungs.

A

Visceral Pleura

36
Q
  1. A broad inferior portion of the lungs
  2. Where does it extend?
A
  1. Base of the lungs
  2. 6th intercostal cartilage anteriorly and 10th thoracic vertebra posteriorly
37
Q
  1. It is a narrow superior portion of the lungs.
  2. Superior to where?
A
  1. Apex of the lungs
  2. Superior to medial 1/3 of the clavicle
38
Q

It is where bronchi, pulmonary blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves enter and exit.

A

Hilum of the lungs

39
Q

Part of the lungs where the heart and blood vessels are situated.

A

Cardiac Notch

40
Q

Small compartments of each bronchopulmonary segment of the lungs

A

Lobules

41
Q

It is a cup-shaped outpouching of alveolar sacs.

A

Alveoli

42
Q

Composed of types of cells in the alveoli

A

Alveoli Walls

43
Q

It is composed of simple squamous epithelial cells; more abundant and the main site of gas exchange.

A

Type I Alveolar Cells

44
Q

These are called septal cells and are composed of cuboidal epithelial cells that contain a surfactant

A

Type II Alveolar Cells

45
Q

It is where the exchange of O2 and Co2 takes place by diffusion across the alveoli + capillary walls.

A

Respiratory Membrane

46
Q

It is the moving of air in and out of the lungs.

A

Pulmonary Ventilation

47
Q

Three Basic Steps in Respiration

A
  1. Pulmonary Ventilation
  2. External Respiration
  3. Internal Respiration
48
Q

It is the gas exchange between the alveoli of the lungs and pulmonary capillary

A

External Respiration

49
Q

It is the gas exchange between blood and cells.

A

Internal Respiration

50
Q

The primary muscle that raises the ribcage during ventilation.

A

Diaphragm

51
Q

The accessory muscle during expiration.

A

Rectus Abdominis

52
Q

Contraction of the diaphragm pulls the lower surfaces of the lungs downward.

A

Inhalation (Inspiration)

53
Q

Passive recoil of the lungs and the muscles inside.

A

Exhalation (Expiration)

54
Q

A pressure that is slightly lower than atmospheric pressure. (756 mmHg)

A

Intrapleural Pressure

55
Q

Other factors affecting ventilation

A
  1. Surface Tension
  2. Lung Compliance
  3. Airway Resistance
56
Q

Factor affecting ventilation that should be greater to acquire more air resulting for the alveoli to maintain its structure during the process

A

Surface Tension

57
Q

Factor that elasticity and surface tension helps the lungs to expand easily without restriction

A

Lung Compliance

58
Q

A factor that follows the diameter of the blood vessels where the air passes through them.

A

Airway Resistance

59
Q

What do you call in the absence of breathing?

A

Apnea

60
Q

What do you call normal quiet breathing?

A

Eupnea

61
Q

A slowed breathing

A

Bradypnea

62
Q

A fast-paced breathing

A

Tachypnea

63
Q

Of one single breath (500 mL)

A

Tidal Volume

64
Q

The extra air volume can be inspired over and above the average tidal volume (3000 mL)

A

Inspiratory Reserve Volume

65
Q

It is the maximum extra volume of air that can be expired by forceful expiration after the normal tidal expiration. (1,100 mL)

A

Expiratory Reserve Volume

66
Q

It is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after the most forceful expiration; this volume averages 1,200 mL

A

Residual Volume

67
Q

Amount of air a person can breathe in, beginning at the average expiratory level and distending the lungs to the maximum amount.

A

Inspiratory Capacity

68
Q

Amount of air that remains in the lungs at the end of normal expiration (2,300 ml)

A

Functional Residual Capacity

69
Q

The maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after first filling the lungs to their maximum extent and then expiring to the maximum extent (4,600 mL)

A

Vital Capacity

70
Q

The maximum volume to which the lungs can be expanded with the greatest possible effort (5,800 mL)

A

Total Lung Capacity

71
Q

Each gas in a mixture of gases exerts its own pressure as if no other gases were present.

A

Dalton’s Law

72
Q

The quantity of a gas that will dissolve in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas and its solubility

A

Henry’s Law
