internal respiration

139
Q

Carbon dioxide diffuses out of tissue cells to blood is called ____

A

loading

140
Q

oxygen diffuses from blood into tissue is called ____

A

unloading

141
Q

3 types of control of respiration

A
  • neural regulation
  • normal respiratory rate (eupnea)
  • hyperpnea
142
Q

This sets basic rhythm of breathing and contains a pacemaker (self-exciting inspiratory center) called the ventral respiratory group (VRG)

A

Medulla

143
Q

this smooths out the respiratory rate

A

pons

144
Q

This refers to the setting of the basic rhythm of respiration

A

Neural regulation

145
Q

Refers to the normal respiratory rate, consisting of 12 to 15 respirations per minute

A

normal respiratory rate/eupnea

146
Q

refers to increased respiratory rate, often due to extra oxygen needs

A

hyperpnea

147
Q

Non-neural factors influencing respiratory rate and depth

A
  • physical factors
  • volition (conscious control)
  • emotional factors such as fear, anger, and excitement
  • chemical factors:
148
Q
  • changes in oxygen concentration in the blood are detected by ______ in the aorta and common carotid artery
  • information is sent to the ____
  • ____ is the stimulus for those whose systems have become accustomed to high levels of CO2 as a result of disease
A
  • chemoreceptor
  • medulla
  • oxygen
149
Q
  • rising levels of CO2 in the blood (acidosis) result in faster, deeper breathing
  • exhale more CO2 to elevate blood pH
  • may result in apnea and dizziness and lead to alkalosis
A

hyperventilation

150
Q

(disease)
* exemplified by chronic bronchitis and emphysema
* shared features of these diseases: (1) patients almost always have a history of smoking, (2) labored breathing (dyspnea) becomes progressively worse, (3) coughing and frequent pulmonary infections are common, (4) most patients are hypoxic, retain carbon dioxide and have respiratory acidosis, and ultimately develop respiratory failure

A

Chronic Obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

151
Q
  • MUCOSA OF THE LOWER RESPIRATORY PASSAGES BECOMES SEVERELY INFLAMED
  • EXCESSIVE MUCUS PRODUCTION IMPAIRS VENTILATION AND GAS EXCHANGE

A

chronic bronchitis

152
Q

(disease)
* alveoli walls are destroyed; remaining alveoli enlarge
* chronic inflammation promotes lung fibrosis, and lungs lose elasticity
* patients use a large amount of energy to exhale; some air remains in the lungs
* sufferers are often called “pink puffers” bc oxygen exchange is efficient
* overinflation of the lungs leads to permanently expanded barrel chest
