Pleura

Smooth serous membrane that allows lungs to have an almost friction less movement

Compartments of the nasal cavity

Dorsal, common, middle, central meatus

Costal

Near ribs

Mediastina

A septum between 2 parts of an organ or cavity

Visceral

Near internal organs like heart or lungs

Why does pressure change in intrapleural space

To allow lungs to expand and recoil

Pharynx

Passage for food and air

Larynx

Organ of sound production

Glottis

Site of endotracheal insertion

Trachea

Passage for air to lungs

Label intrapleural space, costal, visceral, etc

Eupnea

Normal quiet breathing

Dyspnea

Difficulty breathing

Hyperpnea

Fast, deep breathing usually after exertion

Polypnea

Fast shallow breathing like panting

Tachypnea

Fast breathing

Bradypnea

Slow breathing

Tidal volume

Amount of air inhaled and exhaled in one cycle

Residual volume

Amount of air remaining in lungs after an exhale

Gasses used in respiration

Co2, o2, N, h2O vapor

Henry's Law

Volume of glasses that dissolve in h2o

Henry's law equation

Volume=pressure x solubility coefficient

Intrapulmonic pressure

Air pressure in lungs and passages

Intrapleural pressure

Pressure in thorax OUTSIDE the lungs

Pneumothorax

Air or fluid enters space between visceral and parietal pleura. Lungs collapse, death from asphyxia.

Lung compliance

Measure of densibility of lungs

Causes of pneumothorax

Tear in lung, rupture of cavitary lung mass, extension of mediastinum

Signs of pneumothorax

Air pockets, retraction of plural surface lung

4 regions of medulla and pons

1. Dorsal respiratory group


2. Ventral respiratory group


3. Pneumotaxic center


4. Apneustic center

Neurons of drg associated with

Inhalation

Neurons of vrg associated with

Both but mainly exhalation

PC limits

Inspiration

Hering brewer reflexes

Change rate of ventilation based on body needs

Respect. Alkadosis

Low co2

Resp acidosis

High co2

Braking effect

Reduced concentration of co2 and h+ ions decrease alveolar ventilation

Hyperventilation

Reduces co2 and protons too much and cause body fluids to be too alkaline

Respiration formula

Mismatching results in

Hypoxemia

Resp clearance

How inhaled materials are processed by the body to minimize harmfulness

3 forces that cause dust settlement

1. Gravitational settling


2. Inertial forces


3. Brownian motion

Gravitational settling

Dust settles due to mass and gravity

Inertial forces

Involves velocity. Promotes early deposition

Alveolar clearance due to

1. Absorptive sites


2. Alveolar fluid


3. Phagocytes


4. Desquamation


5. Particles becoming solute


6. Lungs being drained by lymph vessels
