ventilation Flashcards
exchange I is
atmosphere to lung (ventilation)
exchange II; alveolar gas exchange
lung to blood
transport of what occurs after exchange II
gases in the blood (pulmonary and systemic circulation)
exchange III: cellular respiration
blood to cells
external respiration: alveolar gas exchange cells
type I cells
surfactant production; reduce surface tension of hydrogen bonds
type II cells
alveolar macrophages that have immune function
type III cells
why do the vessels bronchodilate when there is high CO2 partial pressure in alveoli
to get CO2 out
what happens when the diaphragm contracts (V and P)
volume up, pressure down
elastic recoil opposes what
compliance (change in V/ change in P)
pressure holding lungs open
transpulmonary pressure
external respiration of O2 is from where to where
alveoli to RBC
inernal respiration of O2 is from where to where
RBC to systemic tissues
internal respiration for CO2 and H+ goes from where to where
systemic tissues to plasma
external respiration for CO2 and H+ goes from where to where
RBC and plasma to alveoli
