What is the Respiratory zone and what does it structure.
Definition: site of gas
exchange
Microscopic structures: respiratory
bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli
what is the conducting zone and what does it structure
Definition: conduits to gas
exchange sites
Structure: Trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, Terminal bronchioles.
What is respiratory muscle
diaphragm and
other muscles that promote
ventilation
(Respiration) what is pulmonary ventilation [breathing]:
movement of air into and out
of the lungs
(respiration) What is external respiration:
O2 and CO2
exchange between the lungs
and the blood
What does respiration transport
O2 and CO2
in the blood
What is Internal respiration
O2 and CO2
exchange between systemic blood
vessels and tissues
How gas is exchanged at the alveoli and at the tissue
Gas exchange takes place between blood and alveoli in the lungs, and then between blood and tissue cells all around the body through simple diffusion.
what is the function Tests
Increases in TLC, FRC, and RV may occur as a result of
obstructive disease
Reduction in VC, TLC, FRC, and RV result from
restrictive diseas
