2
25
right has __ lobes
3
26
what does the left lung have?
a notch (indention) for heart
27
which lung is shorter and why?
right, because of liver
28
what is the surface of each lung covered with?
visceral pleura
29
what is the thoracic cavity lined with?
parietal pleura
30
these two fluids make a ________ _______ that allows lungs to ______ & _______
pleura fluid move inflate
31
alveoli are..?
air sacs with thin layer walls
32
alveoli are covered on the outside with ________.
capillaries
33
how does gas exchange by?
simple diffusion
34
_______moves into ______ from alveoli; _______moves out of _____ into alveoli
oxygen blood CO2 blood
35
4 different mechanics of breathing
- pulmonary ventilation - inspiration - expiration - respiration
36
pulmonary ventilation
breathing
37
inspiration
inhalation/ breathe in
38
expiration
exhalation/breath out
39
respiration
gas exchange (pick up oxygen and give off CO2)
40
diaphragm is the ____________ muscles under the ________.
dome shape | lungs
41
when the diaphragm muscles contract it...
moves downward and enlarges the thoracic cavity= inspire (inhale)
42
when diaphragm muscles relax..
the cavity shrinks=expire (exhale)
43
where are intercostal muscles located?
between the ribs
44
what happens when the intercostal muscles contract?
they pull the ribs outward
45
what do the intercostal muscles enlarge?
thoracic cavity- inspire
46
what happens when intercostal muscles relax?
cavity shrinks-exhale
47
what is laughing/crying and what happens?
emotional feelings; you release air in short expirations
48
what is yawning and what happens?
deep inspiration; it ventilates all distal alveoli
49
what happens when you sneeze?
you force air upward back through the nasal passage; clears upper passages
50
what happens when you cough?
you force air upward against a closed glottis; clears lower passages
51
what is a hiccup?
sudden inspirations from spasms of the diaphragm while glottis is closed; no useful function
52
respiratory rate
the number of times you inspire per minute while at rest
53
what is the normal amount of breaths?
12-18 breaths a minute
54
what are the 3 types of breathing?
1) diaphragmatic breathing 2) thoracic breathing (or chest) 3) clavicular breathing
