respiratory system physiology

Question 1

what is the main function of respiratory systems

Answer 1

it provide necessary exchange of Oxygen and Carbon dioxide for homeostasis

Question 2

upper respiratory tract

Answer 2

nose
mouth
pharynx
larynx

Question 3

lower respiratory

Answer 3

trachea
bronchial tree
lungs

Question 4

transmission zones functions

Answer 4

sound formation [phonation]
heating
humidification
filtration
cleaning of received air

Question 5

alveolar cells types

Answer 5

1=gaseous exchange
2=production of surfactants
3=found all over the lungs

Question 6

lung ventilation

Answer 6

movement of air into or out of the respiratory system

Question 7

respiratory types

Answer 7

abdominal breathing
thoracic

Question 8

abdominal breathing

Answer 8

inspiration occurs with contraction of the diaphragm

Question 9

thoracic breathing

Answer 9

occurs with contraction of external intercostal muscles and movement of ribs

Question 10

cough reflex

Answer 10

defense mechanism that allow the body to clear secretions and foreign bodies from respiratory tract

Question 11

airways

Answer 11

structure that transmit air from the mouth and nose to the respiratory bronchioles

Question 12

alveolar ventilation

Answer 12

volume of air involved in gaseous exchange in alveoli

Question 13

anatomical dead space [ADS]

Answer 13

conduction pathway for the volume up to gaseous exchange site

Question 14

physiological dead space

Answer 14

alveoli that does not participate to ADS

Question 15

apnea

Answer 15

respiratory arrest

Question 16

eupnea

Answer 16

normal, relaxed breathing at rest

Question 17

hyperpnea

Answer 17

increased in depth and/or speed of breathing

Question 18

hypopnea

Answer 18

decreased in depth and /or speed of breathing

Question 19

dyspnea

Answer 19

difficult and painful breathing

Question 20

tachypnea

Answer 20

rapid breathing

Question 21

hyperventilation

Answer 21

increased alveolar ventilation

Question 22

hypoventilation

Answer 22

decreased alveolar ventilation

Question 23

surfactant

Answer 23

lower surface tension
a mixture of phosphorus, protein and ion
24th week of pregnancy
35-36th week of pregnancy

Question 24

respiratory difficulty syndrome

Answer 24

collapse of alveoli due to insufficiency surfactants especially in premature babies

Question 25

factors that shift oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve

Answer 25

hydrogen ion increase increased carbon dioxide pressure heat increase 2,3 diphosphoglycerate increase

Question 26

binding of oxygen to hemoglobin has relieving effect on removing carbon dioxide from the blood What does the effect called

Answer 26

Haldane effect

Question 27

hypoxemia

Answer 27

decreased oxygen concentration

Question 28

tidal volume

Answer 28

volume of air inhaled / exhaled during normal breathing

Question 29

inspiratory reserve volume

Answer 29

volume of air that can inhaled with max expiratory after normal inspiration

Question 30

expiratory reserve volume

Answer 30

volume of air that can be exhaled with max exhalation after normal expiration

Question 31

residual volume

Answer 31

volume of air remain in the lungs after maximum expiration

Question 32

inspiration capacity

Answer 32

volume of air that can be inhaled with maximum inspiration after normal expiration

Question 33

functional residual capacity

Answer 33

air remain in the lungs after a normal expiration

Question 34

vital capacity

Answer 34

volume that can be exhaled with max expiration after max inspiration

Question 35

total lung capacity

Answer 35

total volume of air contained in the lungs after maximum inspiration
