Q

Expiratory Reserve Volume?

A

Forced exhale volume.

29
Q

Residual Volume?

A

Volume left over after forced expiration.

30
Q

Total Lung Capacity?

A

Total volume lungs can hold, about 6L.

31
Q

Partial Pressure?

A

P (total) = P1 + P2 + P3

32
Q

Boyles Law?

A

P = 1 / Volume

33
Q

Oxygen Transport?

A

Hb + oxygen Hb - oxygen, Hemoglobin binds & releases oxygen.

34
Q

Carbon Dioxide?

A

Increases in this gas cause oxygen to be release from Hb more readily.

35
Q

Acidity?

A

Decrease in pH cause oxygen to be release more readily.

36
Q

Temperature?

A

Increase in temperature causes oxygen to be released more readily.

37
Q

Carbon Monoxide?

A

Binds to hemoglobin 200X more strongly than oxygen.

38
Q

Carbon Dioxide Transport?

A

Hb + carbon dioxide Hb carbon dioxide

39
Q

Dissolve Carbon Dioxide?

A

Dissolved carbon dioxide travels in plasma to lungs & is exhaled.

40
Q

Amino Acids?

A

Carbon dioxide can travel on amino acids other than Hb.

41
Q

Bicarbonate?

A

Carbon dioxide can travel as bicarbonate ion to the lungs.

42
Q

Pain?

A

Visceral pain decreases rate, sudden/ severe pain leads to brief apnea, prolonged somatic pain increase rate.

43
Q

Inflation Reflex?

A

Stretch receptors are overstretched inhibit inflammation.

44
Q

Renal Capsule?

A

Covers the outside of the kidney.

45
Q

Renal Cortex?

A

Outer portion of the kidney.

46
Q

Renal Medulla?

A

Inner portion of the kidney.

47
Q

Renal Pyramids?

A

Pyramid shaped structure in kidney.

48
Q

Renal Columns?

A

Space between the renal pyramids.

49
Q

Renal Pelvis?

A

Center area of the kidney where nephrons drain.

50
Q

Major Chalices?

A

Drain the minor calyces.

51
Q

Glomerulus?

A

Filters the blood going into the nephron, initial filtering makes glomerular filtrate.

52
Q

Peritubular Capillaries?

A

Surround the loop of Henle in the nephron for tubular reabsorption.

53
Q

Nephrons?

A

Main functional unit of the kidney.

54
Q

Renal Corpuscles?

A

The glomerulus & capsule around it.

55
Q

Renal Tubule?

A

Carries the glomerular filtrate after it leaves the glomerulus, tube changed name along the way.

56
Q

Glomerular Filtrate?

A

The filtered plasma after it has passed through the glomerulus.

57
Q

Bowman’s Capsule?

A

Structure around the glomerulus.

58
Q

Proximal Convoluted Tubule?

A

The closest region to the glomerulus where the renal tubule begins to take a curvy route.

59
Q

Loop of Henle?

A

Portion of the renal tubule that extends down into the renal pyramid, is surrounded by the peri tubular capillaries.

60
Q

Distal Convoluted Tubule?

A

The portion of renal tubule furthest from the glomerulus, takes a curvy route.

61
Q

Collecting Duct?

A

Drains the filtering fluid from the distal convoluted tubule, which is now urine, and carries it down to the calyces the renal pelvis.

62
Q

Glomerular Filtration?

A

Initial filtration, removes cells & larger molecules from plasma.

63
Q

Urine?

A

Fluid formed after passing though the nephron, pale straw colored, translucent.

64
Q

Urether?

A

Drains kidneys into the urinary bladder.

65
Q

Micturition?

A

Process of urination.

66
Q

External Urethral Orifice/ Sphincter?

A

Open from urethra to external body, sphincter (muscle) under voluntary control.

67
Q

Internal Urethral Orifice/ Sphincter?

A

Opening from the urethra to the urinary bladder, sphincter (muscle) under autonomic control.

68
Q

Forced Inspiration Muscles?

A

SCM (sternocleidomastoid), scalenes, pectoralis minor.
