unit 3 test Flashcards
spirometer
measure respiratory capacity
inspiratory capacity
everything inhaled
functional residual capacity
everything exhaled and left in lungs
vital capacity
everything in and out of lungs
total lung capacity
everything
tidal volume
normal breathing
inspiratory reserve volume
how much more we can inhale
expiratory reserve volume
everything we can exhale if needed
residual volume
air left over in our lungs we can exhale
roles and structures of conducting zone
- give rise to respiratory zone
- bronchioles and terminal bronchioles
respiratory zone structures
- respiratory bronchioles
- alveolar ducts
- alveolar sacs
type 1 alveolar cells
- SSE, 1 layer flat
- main structure
type 2 alveolar cells
- simple cuboidal
- surfactant; hydrogen bonds
- antimicrobial proteins
surfactant
- lipid and protein complex
- reduce surface tension on alveolar fluid
- prevents collapse
- hydrogen bond?
atmospheric pressure
-air surrounding body
760 mm Hg = 1 atmosphere
intrapleural pressure
- in pleural cavity
- always negative
- lung can collapse if its positive
what are the inward and outward forces that can promote lung collapse
inward -recoiling -surface tension of alveolar fluid outward -elasticity of chest wall
intrapulmonary pressure
-in lungs
transpulmonary pressure
- Ppul- Pip
- keeps lungs open
what are the muscles used for inspiration?
- diaphgram
- intercostal muscles
quiet expiration
volume decrease causing Ppul to increase by 1
Ppul > Patm
forced expiration
oblique and transverse muscles, internal intercostal muscles
daltons law
- pressure exerted my gases
- total atm is 760 mm Hg
Boyles law
-pressure vs volume of gas
p= 1/v
p1v1=p2v2
henrys law
- gas and liquids
1. solubility
2. temperature
3. partial pressure of the gases
respiratory membrane
- blood:air barrier
- alveolar and capillary walls
- fused basement membranes
- very thin
adenocarcinoma
- prepheral lung areas
- bronchial glands and alveolar cells
squamous cell carcinoma
arises in bronchial epithelium
