Q

describe trachea

A
  • connective tissue and smooth muscle
  • supported by c-shaped cartillage rings
  • inner lining: psudostratified ciliates columnar epothelium with goblet cells. mucus debris, debris push it up to larynx
  • divides to form left and right primary bronchi

Q

what is surfactant

A

a lippoprotein

24
Q

What is the thoracic cavity

A

space enclosed by thoracic wall and diaphragm

25
Q

what does the thoracic walls include

A

thoracic vertebrae, ribs, costal cartilage, sternum, and intercostal muscles

26
Q

describe double pleura membranes

A
  • enclose each lung
  • adheres lung to thoracic wall for expansion
  • filled with serous pleural fluid
27
Q

function of serous pleural fluid

A

lubricant for movement

adheres membrane together (helps alveoli open)

28
Q

describe how inspiration occurs

A

-diaphragm flattens down, contracts

29
Q

what is quiet inspiration

A

accounts for 2/3 of increase in size of thoracic volume

30
Q

function of intercostal muscles

A

elevate ribs to allow lateral expansion

31
Q

describe how expiration occurs

A

-relaxation of diaphragm and external intercostals with contraction of abdominal muscles

32
Q

describe labored breathing

A

all inspiry muscles are active and contract more forcefully, and expiration is rapid

33
Q

how does breathing occur s

A

air moves from an area of high to low pressure

as volume gets larger (when diaphram contracts), then pressure in alveoli gets smaller

34
Q

is diaphragm contracts, do the alveoli get bigger or smaller

A

bigger (volume increases, pressure lowers, air flows through)

35
Q

what regulates ventilation

A

medulla oblongata

36
Q

what is external respiration

A

gas exchange between alveoli and pulmonary blood capillaries

37
Q

describe pressure in external expiration

A

pressure in pulmonary capillaries is greater than pressure in alveolar air (co2 diffusion)

38
Q

describe pressurein external inspiration

A

pressure in pulmonary capillaries is lower than alveolar air (o2 diffusion)

39
Q

describe pressure in internal expiration

A

pressure in systemic capillaries is lower than pressurein tussue fluid (co2 diffusion)

40
Q

Describe pressure in internal inspiration

A

pressure in systemic capillaries is greater than pressure in tissue fluid (o2 diffusion)

41
Q

shortened name of hemoglobin

A

hb

42
Q

name of hemoglobin when carrying oxygen

A

oxyhemoglobin

43
Q

formula for hemoglobin turning into oxyhemoglobin

A

hb+o2 = HbO2

44
Q

name of oxyhemoglobin when it looses oxygen

A

deoxyhemoglobin

45
Q

Why does hemoglobin carry H ions

A

to buffer

46
Q

name of hemoglobin when it carries CO2

A

carbaminohemoglobin

47
Q

how is most Co2 carried in the body

A

as bicarbonate ions (HCO3) that are dissolved in plasma

48
Q

equation of bicarbonate expiration

A

CO2 +H2O —H2CO3— H+ HCO3

49
Q

Increase in Co2 pressure causes what

A

decreases in pH and HbO2

50
Q

increase H ions (low pH) causes

A

decreases HbO2

higher pH in lungs releases oxygen to blood

51
Q

Increased temperature causes:

A

decreased HbO2

as metabolism goes up, more oxygen is released to the tissues

52
Q

iron + heme =

A

hemoglobin

53
Q

where does hb+O2= HbO2 happen and when

A

happens in the pulmonary capillaries when O2 diluted through

54
Q

where does HbO2= Hb+ O2 happen and when

A

happens in the body capillaries when the cells uptake the oxygen

55
Q

Where does Hb + Co2 = HbCO2 happen and why

A

in the body when the capillaries take in the co2 that the cells produce

56
Q

Where does hbCo2=Hb + Co2 happen

A

in the pulmonary capillaries when the hemoglobin releases the co2 to the alveoli for expiration

57
Q

name for HHB

A

reduced hemoglobin
