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 |
