16
Q

Macrophages are not suppose to be in ?

A

alveoli

17
Q

surfactants

A

hold alveoli open to receive air
mixture of lipoproteins and phospholipids present in alveolar fluid reduces its surface tension below the surface tension of pure water
prevents alveoli from collapsing

18
Q

pneumonia

A

fluid in alveoli making it hard to breath and can collapse alveoli when fluid comes out

19
Q

external costal and diaphragm

A

expands size of thoracic cavity causing inhalation

20
Q

internal costal and diaphragm

A

reduces size of thoracic cavity causing expiration

21
Q

how many times do we breath per minute?

A

x14

22
Q

Tidal volume

A

normal resting breathing

23
Q

spirometer

A

measures volumes and capacities
looks to see your vital capacity

24
Q

vital capacity

A

sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume

25
Q

tidal volume

A

volume of one breath

26
Q

total lung capacity

A

sum of vital capacity and residual volume

27
Q

inspiratory reserve volume

A

the additional inhaled air after taking a deep breath of more than 500ml

28
Q

expiatory reserve volume

A

the extra air pushed out after exhaling as forcibly as possible

29
Q

atmosphere air is approximately

A

80% nitrogen gas
15% oxygen

30
Q

examples of upper respiratory tract infection

A

common cold –> rhinovirus
influenza –> flu
sinusitis –>usually bacterial

31
Q

bronchitis

A

condition that develops when the airways in the lungs, called bronchial tubes, become inflamed and cause coughing, often with mucus productio

32
Q

asthma

A

inflammation in bronchi and bronchioles causing swelling and reduction in lumen where air goes through

33
Q

pulmonary fibrosis

A

scar tissue in lungs create less flexibility
can be caused by many particle types such as dust, ceramic, and sandblasting particles

34
Q

emphysema

A

lose flexibility in alveoli as it can expand but cannot retract. Causing you to not be able to get rid of CO2
will give patients pure O2

35
Q

tuberculosis

A

lower respiratory tract disease
bacterial airborne

36
Q

lung volume

A
