Test #3 Flashcards
what contains contains both a respiratory and an olfactory mucosa
The nasal cavity
The conchae
create turbulence in the air to trap particulate matter in mucus
. The nasal cavity opens into the nasopharynx through a space called the
. internal nares
Christopher a varsity high school baseball player is struck by a 90 mile per hour fastball
which hits his face ¼ of an inch superior to the vomer bone. The doctor Chris visits develops
an MRI which shows a line through a bone located at the superior portion of the nasal
septum. Which bone in the nose did Christopher break?
perpendicular plate of the ethmoid
what are these associated with pharyngeal tonsils opening to the Eustachian tubes
nasopharynx
A unique feature of the left lung is that
. it has a cardiac notch.
magine a breath of air inhaled is needed to supply the inferior lobe of the left lung. It
would need to be conducted through each of the following airways, EXCEPT for a
tertiary bronchus
As the diameters of the respiratory airways decrease, which of the following is observed?
The walls of the passages become more muscular
lack of surfactant produced by the cells of the alveoli of the lungs may lead to
less compliance within the alveoli of the lungs
he largest cartilage of the larynx is the
. thyroid
’
’
he non-closed end of the C-shaped tracheal cartilages is important because
it allows a large bolus to move through the esophagus
Diane is a vocal soloist. In one of the songs she normally sings, she pushes a large volume
of air through her glottis and increases the tension on her vocal cords. The sound that she
makes is
loud and high-pitched
At sea level, the percentage of nitrogen in the air is nearly four times as great as that of
oxygen. Nitrogen, therefore, normally exerts nearly four times as much partial pressure as
oxygen in the atmosphere. Which rule helps to explain the relationship?
Dalton’s Law
Most of the O2 stored in blood is bound to hemoglobin. When hemoglobin is fully saturated,
it consists of
. four O2 molecules binding to a heme group
Lowered pH alters the hemoglobin structure so that the oxygen bond with hemoglobin
weakens. Once unloaded from hemoglobin, oxygen is more available to the tissues through
the blood and therefore, dramatically increases the effectiveness of
. internal respiration
he Bohr effect is the result of changes in blood
pH
n which direction does CO2 move during internal respiration?
from the tissue cells into the blood
Boyle’s law of gases can be applied to make the statement that
as the volume of a gas goes up in the lungs, its pressure goes down
Air moves into the lungs when the pressure inside the lungs is
less than the pressure in the atmosphere
Salivary secretions do not aid in
the chemical breakdown of proteins
Functions of the tongue include each one of the following, EXCEPT
. cutting and grinding food
Which layer of the stomach is located deep to the submucosa
muscularis externa
Which of the following substances is correctly paired with the organ responsible for
secreting it?
mouth — amylase and lipase
All of a sudden you think about eating a hamburger with your favorite toppings.
You enter the Cephalic phase of digestion and gastrin released by your stomach
stimulates your gastric parietal cells and gastric chief cells to kick it in gear and work
much harder than expected. What can you predict in the stomach will happen as a result
increased HCL and intrinsic factor production ncreased pepsinogen and gastric lipase production
where does most nutrient absorbtion occur
small intestine
A bolus upon exiting the esophagus enters the stomach in which region?
cardia
Choose the correct pairing
pancreas — secretes amylases, lipases, and proteases
. An acidic pH is achieved, and distension is minimal at the end of the
gastric phase of gastric secretion and motility
In response to the hormone secretin, the pancreas secretes a fluid with a high amount of
bicarbonate ions
n response to the hormone cholecystokinin abbreviated as CCK, the pancreas secretes
a fluid with a high amount of
enzymes
The enzyme amylase digests
polysaccharides
