transportation Flashcards
what is the sound of the heart?
the valves closing
what is happening during the initial lab sound?
the AV vales are closing which builds up pressure and push blood out
what is happening during the laster dub sound?
the SL valves are closing when the ventricles start relaxing to prevent back flow into the ventricles from the aorta and pulmonary trunk
what functional role do the structure in the condition zone play
they warm, humidify and filter the air as it mrs into the respiratory zone
what is the purpose of the epiglottis
block food from going down tour larynx when you swallow
what is the structural difference between the right and left lungs
the right has 3 lobes and the left has 2
where does the bulk of gas exchange occur
in the aleoli
which structure in the respiratory system is also known the voice box
larynx
name the structure that air passes through as it travels from the Bose and eventually arrive at the lungs
nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea. bronchi, lungs
The amount of air that remains in your lungs is known as the
residual volume
the amount of air you regularly breathe is your
Tidal volume
the ____ measures the max amount of air you could forcibly inhale while the _____ is the max amount you could forcible exhale
Inspiratory reserve volume; expiratory reserve volume
what is considered the Toal amount of exchangeable air you have
vital capacity
what muscle moves the lungs when it contracts
diaphragm
as this muscle contracts, the volume in your lungs ___- so pressure ____ and air moves _____
expands; decrease; in
as this muscle relaxes, the volume in your lungs ___ s pressure __ and air moves ___
decreases; increases; out
delivers oxygen rich blood to the body
aorta
electrical event sin the heart stimulate ____
mechanical events
the heart contains special calls that can spontaneously depolarize
pacemaker cells
the action potential in initiated in the ___ node
sinotrial node
the ____ node receives and distributes the signal to the ventricles
atrioventricular
blood flows ____ the pressure gradient created from the contractions
down
list 5 extrinsic controls that play a role in the regulation of cardiac cycle
autonomic nervous system; age; sex; cardiovascular fitness/health; diet
what does blood pressure measure
amount of strain your arteries fell as your hear moves blood around
