21
Q

Functions of shunted impulses

A

slows process so ventricles pump after atria;

squeezes heart from bottom up

22
Q

Transporting systems for respiration

A

hemoglobin, red blood cells, blood plasma

23
Q

Fick’s Law of Diffusion

A

Rate of diffusion is proportional to surface area and partial pressure difference

Rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to travel distance

24
Q

Efficient air exchange mechanics maximize ____________________

A

maximize partial pressure difference

25
Q

Structure of _____ consists of epithelial tissues coated with capillaries

26
Q

Flow that maximizes oxygenation in gills

A

Countercurrent flow of blood to water

27
Q

Characteristics of amphibian alveoli

A

large terminal air sacs

surface coated in surfactant that stabilizes

surfactant in lungs composed of lipid and protein

28
Q

how air is forced into lungs of amphibians and bony fish (gills)

A

Positive pressure breathing

29
Q

How amniotes breathe

A

lungs with alveoli

30
Q

alveoli in birds

A

Parabronchi

31
Q

negative pressure in chest due to increasing volume of lungs (more efficient than positive pressure)

requires lungs connected to chest wall

A

Thoracic breathing

32
Q

Organ derived from gill arches

33
Q

Inhalation steps

A

contract exterinal rib intercostals and diaphragm

lift ribs and expands chest cavity

34
Q

Exhalation steps

A

elastic recoil

relaxing muscles snap ribs and chest cavity back in place, forcing air out

35
Q

Number of alveoli humans have

A

300 alveoli

36
Q

Surface area for gas exchange in humans

A

80 m2 of surface area, 42x body surface

37
Q

How birds breathe

A

unidirectional air flow with no residual volume like mammals

38
Q

How partial pressure difference increased in birds

A

only fresh oxygen diffuses across surfaces

39
Q

Steps in two-cycle pump

A

Inhalation 1– air flows through trachea into (nondiffusing) posterior air sacs

Exhalation 1– air flows into lung

Inhalation 2 – air flows from lung to anterior air sacs

Exhalation 2 – air flows out the trachea

40
Q

less efficient than countercurrent flow, more efficient than other amniotes

flow of air and flood perpendicular

A

Cross-current flow

41
Q

synthesized by erythrocytes

each molecule can bind 4 O2 molecules

A

Hemoglobin

42
Q

pO2 in lungs

A

higher so more oxygen will dissolve and combine with hemoglobin

43
Q

pO2 in tissues

A

lower so hemoglobin will give up oxygen

44
Q

lowers blood pH at tissues

weakens hemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen

45
Q

CO2 leads to extra unloading of O2

A

Bohr Effect

46
Q

CO2 loading at tissues

A

red blood cells carry CO2 to the lungs in the form of bicarbonate ions

Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes formation of carbonic acid, making bicarbonate ions and H+

47
Q

% CO2 dissolved in plasma

A

8% CO2 dissolved in plasma

48
Q

% CO2 bond to hemoglobin

A

20% CO2 bound to hemoglobin

49
Q

CO2 location

A

red blood cell cytoplasm

50
Q

catalyzes formation of carbonic acid

A

Carbonic anhydrase

51
Q

CO2 unloading at lungs

A

Lower [CO2] in alveoli than in blood leads to net diffusion of CO2 out of blood

Carbonic anhydrase proceeds in reverse

51
Q

Cells for inflammatory response
