18
Q

Lliac veins

A

19
Q

Exhalation process

A
  1. Diaphragm relaxes and moves up, intercoastal muscles collapse
  2. Decreased volume of chest cavity
  3. Lungs deflate
  4. Exhalation
  5. Air forced out of alveoli into bronchioles
  6. Air moves from bronchioles to bronchi
  7. Air moves from bronchi into trachea (air cooled)
  8. Air travels past larynx, epiglottis and pharynx
  9. Air forces out of body
20
Q

Inhalation process

A
  1. Diaphragm contracts and moves down, intercoastal muscles expand
  2. Increase in volume of chest cavity
  3. Lungs expand creating vacuum effect
  4. Inhalation
  5. Air moistened and warmed as travels through nose
  6. Air moves past epiglottis, larynx and pharynx
  7. Air filtered, moistened and warmed as passes down trachea
  8. Air travels from trachea to bronchi
  9. Air into bronchioles
  10. Air reaches alveoli
21
Q

What is partial pressure

A

Concentration of gas (mm Hg)

22
Q

How is O2 transported

A

98% of O2 is bonded to haemoglobin in the red blood cells

1.5% dissolved into plasma

23
Q

What is a high PP

A

Above 40mm Hg

24
Q

The oxygen dissociation curve shows that…?

A

The more you exercise the PP of O2 is your cells is low, and the saturation of the haemoglobin is low, it is uploading more oxygen to the active cells

25
Q

What are the three ways CO2 is transported from the body to the lungs?

A

60% bicarbonate
30% carbaminohaemoglobin
10% dissolved in plasma

26
Q

How is bicarbonate formed?

A

When C02 (waste from cellular respiration) combines w H2O

27
Q

How is carbaminohaemoglobin formed?

A

When CO2 combines w unoxygenated haemoglobin

28
Q

Formula for buffer system:

A

CO2 + H2O H2CO3 HCO3- + H+

29
Q

Buffer system: what why how

A
  • pH of blood affects other variables in the body, is important it stays at right pH level
  • if the pH drops (acidic) system goes LR
  • is part of homeostasis
