Q

Inspiration - what happens in the contraction of the inspirational muscles

A

1) Ribs lift and diagram drops

21
Q

Expiration (4)

A

(1) Relaxation of inspiratory muscles
2) Chest volume decreases
3) Lung pressure increases above atmospheric pressure
4) Air moves along the gradient

22
Q

Forced Inspiration (3)

A

1) Deeper Breathe
2) Need a bigger gradient
3) Accessory muscles contract

23
Q

Forced Expiration (3)

A

1) Contract internal intercostal
2) Contract abdominals
3) A greater decrease in volume - more air out

24
Q

What is Pneumothorax?

A

A collapsed lung that cannot function normally - think knife to the lung

25
Q

Lung Volumes (4)

A

1) Tidal volume - air moved on a quiet breath - 500ml
2) Expiratory reserve - Extra air you could breathe out if needed -1,200ml
3) Inspirational Reserve - extra air you could breathe in if you needed to - 3000ml
4) Vital Capacity - max air you could move - 5or6 L

27
Q

What controls breathing? (1)

A

Chemoreceptors

28
Q

Control breathing - Chemoreceptors - how do they react to control breathing? (4)

A

1) If CO2or H+ increase
a) Chemoreceptors begin to fire
b) Medulla triggers inspirational muscles
c) Breathe in - reduces co2 and or h+
d) O2 is NOT a normal trigger for breathing

29
Q

What controls breathing - Chemoreceptors - name 1 function and where it takes place

A

1) Monitors blood gases

2) Carotids, Aortic Arch, Medulla

30
Q

Where does Gas Transport occur?

A

1) Alveoli

2) In the tissues

31
Q

Gas Transport - Alveoli (2)

A

1) O2 moves along the gradient into the blood

2) CO2 moves from the blood into alveoli

32
Q

Gas Transport - In the tissues(2)

A

1) O2 moves along the gradien into the tissue

2) CO2 moves from tissue to blood

33
Q

How is 98% of oxygen transported

A

via haemoglobin

34
Q

Haemoglobin - what dictates the amount used

A

depending on oxygen concentation

35
Q

How is CO2 transported

A

In the Plasma Bicarbonate
