Test 3 Flashcards
Gas movement in/out of lungs
Pulmonary Ventilation
Gas movement in/out of the blood
External Ventilation
Area of the Pharynx that is comprised of stratified squamous and is in an air and food passage
Oropharynx
The area of the Pharynx is pseudostratified, ciliated columnar, and warms incoming air
Nasopharynx
Composed of 9 layers of cartilage and ciliated epithelial tissue
Larynx
Simple Squamous tissue, covered in fluid, site of gas exchange
Alveoli
Epiglottis to Larynx
Largngopharynx
Hard “C” shaped cartilages, flexible, ciliated columnar, filters, and warms incoming air
trachea
Bifurcation of the trachea, segmented
Bronchial tubes
How are the lungs divided
2L, 3R
The pressure of air exerted in the alveoli
Intrapulmonary air pressure
what happens during one respiratory cycle?
1 inhalation / 1 exhalation.
Diaphram and intercostals contract, thoracic activity increases vol. decreases pressure
Pressure exerted by a gas inverse vol.
Boyle’s Law
Gas vol. proportional to gas temp.
Charle’s Law
tot. pressure exerted by gas mixture = sum of partial pressures.
Dalton’s Law
amount of gas involved in fluid = solubility of gas + partial pressure
Henery’s Las
Intrapulmonary air pressure changes of 1mm Hg can move air in/out of lungs
True
Distendability of lung tissue and the use of surfactants to break up surface tension
Compliance
relationship of air reaching the alveoli and blood flow through pulmonary capillaries
Perfusion Coupling
Partial pressures and concentration gradients moving gas in/out of blood
Gas exchange
Air inhaled/ exhaled in one respiratory cycle
Tidal Vol. (Vt)
Air forcefully inhaled
Inspiratory Reserve Vol (IRV)
Male: 3100ml
Female: 1900 ml
Air inhaled that never contributes to gas exchange
Anatomical dead space
Air remaining in lungs after ERV
Residual vol.
Male: 1900ml
Female: 1200ml
Total Lung Capacity
Vt + IRV + ERV + RV
Male: 6000ml
Female: 4200ml
Too few erythrocytes OR lack of hemoglobin
Anemia
Impaired blood flow to lung
Stagnant Hypoxia
poisons - cyanide blocks O2 content of air
Histoxic Hypoxia
