Respiratory System Pt. 2- Pulmonary Ventilation Flashcards
Pulmonary Ventilation, Exchange of O2 + CO2, Transport of Gases
Known as the flow of air between the atmosphere and the lungs, occurs due to differences in air pressure.
Pulmonary ventilation
We ____or_____ in when the pressure inside the lungs is less than the atmospheric air pressure.
Inhale or breathe
We exhale when
the pressure inside the lungs is greater than the atmospheric air pressure.
_____ and ____ of skeletal muscles create the air pressure changes that power breathing.
Contraction and relaxation
The diaphragm ____ when it receives nerve impulses from the phrenic nerves
Contracts
The SCMs, scalenes, and pectoralis minors contribute
forced inhalation
Forced exhalation is?
contraction of the internal intercostals, external oblique, internal oblique, transverse abdominis, and rectus abdominis.
Is the total volume of air inhaled and exhaled each minute.
Minute ventilation
Lung volumes:
Tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume. ( graph 25)
Are combinations of specific lung volumes .
Lung capacities

Air is a mixture of what gases?
Contribute to?
nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and others
contributes to the total air pressure.
The pressure of a specific gas in a mixture is called its
partial pressure (P). (Nitrogen = 78%)
O2 and CO2 move from areas of higher partial pressure to areas of lower partial pressure.
External and internal respiration
_____ _______Is the exchange of gases between alveolar air and pulmonary blood capillaries
External respiration (pulmonary gas exchange)
_____ ______ is the exchange of gases between capillaries and tissue cells.
Internal respiration (systemic gas exchange)
Changes in Partial Pressures of O2 and CO2
Slide - Image 31
The blood ____ _____
transports gases between the lungs and body tissues
% blood O2 is bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells
98 percent
The association of O2 and hemoglobin is affected by:
PO2, pH, temperature, and PCO2.
Carbon dioxide is transported in 3 ways: __ % dissolved in plasma
7% dissolved in plasma
__% combines with the globin protein of hemoglobin,
23%
__%is converted to bicarbonate
70 % ions converted to HCO-–).
