Q

Gas Exchange

A

The loading of the oxygen into pulmonary blood, and the removal of carbon dioxide inhaled air moves from the mouth or nose to the pharynx, larynx, trachea, right ad left main bronchi, bronchioles, and then the alveoli.

Q

Thermoregulation

A

Is the regulation of body temperature, capillaries in the respiratory tract within the nasal passages and trachea can constrict to conserve heat and dilate to release heat.

16
Q

Lysozymes

A

Located in mucus break down debris

17
Q

Cilia

A

Sweeps debris away

18
Q

Immunoglobulin A IgA

A

Produced in the mucosal lining are antibodies that aid. In immune defenses by neutralizing pathogens.

19
Q

Mast Cells

A

Release inflammatory chemicals that increase blood flow to the region and alert and alert the immune system to a threat.

20
Q

Macrophages

A

Protect the lungs by engulfing small cells and particles.

21
Q

Define lungs

A

Spongy organs that occupy most of the thoracic cavity.

22
Q

Parietal Pleura

A

A serous membrane lining the thoracic cavity.

23
Q

Visceral Pleura

A

Lines the surface of the lungs

24
Q

Mediastinum

A

separates the 3 lobed right lung from the 2 lobed left lung

25
Q

Hilum

A

Is where the trachea forks into the right and left lung

26
Q

Alveoli

A

Microscopic pouches where gas exchange occurs.

27
Q

How is the respiratory membrane formed?

A

The basement membrane of a capillary fuses with the alveolar basement membrane

28
Q

Boyle’s law

A

The pressure and the volume of a gas have an inverse relationship assuming the temperature is constant.

29
Q

Inspiration

A

Happenswhen the intercostal and diaphragm contracts and cause the volume in the thoracic cavity increases while decreasing intrapleural pressure so that air can enter the lungs.

30
Q

Negative pressure breathing

A

When air in the lungs decreases because air in the longs are now lower than atmospheric pressure.

31
Q

Expiration

A

a more passive process achieved by simply relaxing the same intercostal muscles that facilitated the inhalation. Thoracic cavity vol. decreases and intrapleural pressure increases to cause air to leave the lungs.
