What are the four basic processes of respiration?

Pulmonary ventilation, external respiration, gas transport through the blood, internal respiration.

What is pulmonary ventilation?

Breathing.

What is external respiration?

Exchange of gases between alveoli and blood

What is gas transport through the blood?

From lungs to tissues and back to the lungs

What is internal respiration?

Exchange of gases between tissues to blood

What is the nasal cavity lined with? What is the function of this lining?

The nasal cavity is lined with pseudostratified ciliated epithelium and the thin layer of mucus is used to stop debris and Cilia move dirty mucus to the back of the mouth to spit or swallow.

What are the functions of the nasal cavity?

Functions to filter warm and moisten air also acts as a resonating chamber.

What are the three parts of the pharynx?

Nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx.

Where is the nasopharynx located and what is it a passageway for?

Located behind the nasal cavity and is only a passageway for air.

What is the nasopharynx lined with?

Pseudostratified ciliated epithelium.

What's the function of the pharangeal tonsil and what's it made out of?

Protection from pathogens and made out of lymphoid tissue.

What moves through the oropharynx?

Air , food and liquid.

What lines the oropharynx?

Stratified squamous epithelium.

What moves through the laryngopharynx?

Air, food, liquid.

What lines the laryngopharynx?

Stratified squamous epithelium.

How many cartilages make up the larynx?

Nine cartilages.

What is the function of the epiglottis in the larynx?

Called guardian of Airways, keeps food out of the lungs, made of elastic cartilage.

What is the larynx made up of?

Epiglottis, thyroid and cricoid cartilage is, and voice box.

What is the shape of the tracheal cartilage rings? What is their function?

C shaped hyaline cartilage rings that function to stretch in Recoil during inspiration and expiration, keep Airway from completely closing.

Describe the mucosa and lamina propria of the trachea.

Mucosa is made up of pseudostratified ciliated epithelium with lots of goblet cells, and lamina propria is made up of connective tissue which provides nutrients to the mucosa.

Describe the submucosa and adventitia of tracheal wall

Submucosa is made up of connective tissue with saris and mucous glands and adventitia is made up of connective tissue with cartilage rings.

How many bronchi are in the right and left lung?

Three secondary bronchi in the right lung and two secondary bronchi in the left lung.

What are the smallest bronchi called?

Bronchioles.

Respiratory bronchioles to __________ to ____________.

Alveolar ducts to alveoli.

Where does the respiratory Dead Zone end?

Ends at the respiratory bronchi which is the start of gas exchange.

Describe the epithelial changes that occur as conducting tubes become smaller.

Pseudostratified ciliated epithelium to simple columnar to simple cuboidal to simple squamous in the alveoli.

Describe cartilaginous changes that occur as the conducting tubes become smaller.

Hyaline cartilage rings to smaller plates of Hyaline to no cartilage.

Describe smooth muscle changes as conducting tubes become smaller.

More smooth muscle to Les smooth muscle towards the respiratory zone structures.

What does sympathetic output do to Airways? What kind of receptors are involved?

Dialate airways. Beta adrenergic receptors.

What does parasympathetic output do to Airways? What type of receptors are involved?

Constriction. Alpha adrenergic receptors.

What type of tissue makes up type 1 alveolar cells and what does it produce?

Simple squamous epithelium and it produces Angiotensin converting enzyme.

What type of tissue makes up type 2 alveolar cells and what does it secrete?

Almost simple cuboidal cells and it secretes surfactant.

What is surfactant?

Lipid containing substance that reduces surface tension in alveoli and prevents collapse of air sacs.

Each lung lies in its own____________.

Pleural cavity.

Where is the heart located relative to the lungs?

Heart located in cardiac notch in left lung

Describe Boyle's Law as it relates to pulmonary ventilation.

Pressure of a gas is inversely proportional with the volume of its container.

Is inspiration an active or passive process?

Active process.

In order to inspire one must _________ pressure in lungs by __________ volume.

Decrease, increasing

What muscles are Contracting during inspiration?

Diaphragm and external intercostals.

Increased interpulmonary volume=__________ interpulmonary pressure= air _____________

Decreased, air rushing in

What must one use for deep inspiration? Specify?

Accessory muscles. Pectoralis minor, sternocleidomastoid, scalenes.

Is expiration a passive process or active process?

Passive process at rest.

What is elastic recoil?

Relaxing of inspiratory muscles.

As volume decreases in the lungs what happens to pressure?

Increases.

Expiring more air than normal is an ________ process.

Active

What are the accessory expiratory muscles?

Abdominal muscles and internal intercostals.

What is tidal volume?

At rest, amount of air inspired or expired. In order to expire a title volume amount of air, just relax.

What is inspiratory reserve volume?

Use accessory inspiration muscles to take in more air.

What is expiratory reserve volume?

Amount of air you can expired Beyond tidal volume.

What is residual volume?

Amount of air left over in the lungs needed so the lungs won't collapse.

What is vital capacity?

All Air you can possibly Inspire and expire (tidal volume plus inspiratory Reserve Volume Plus expiratory Reserve volume)

What is total lung capacity?

Vital capacity + residual volume

Where does oxygen and CO2 go during external respiration?

Oxygen transfers to the blood and CO2 goes from blood to lungs for expiration.

How is oxygen transported?

Oxygen is transported in red blood cells.

What does oxygen bind to in hemoglobin?

It binds to the iron of the heme group in hemoglobin

Each hemoglobin molecule can bind to a total of _____ oxygen molecules.

4

Where does oxygen go during internal respiration?

Oxygen disassociate from hemoglobin in the tissues and goes from the blood to tissues for ATP production.

What are the factors that control the rate at which hemoglobin binds or releases oxygen?

PCO2, PO2, Temp, pH

What are the factors associated with active tissues?

High PCO2, low PO2, high temp, low pH

What are the factors associated with lungs?

Low PCO2, high PO2, low temp, higher pH.

What is oxygen called when it binds with hemoglobin?

Oxyhemoglobin

Where will CO2 dissolve and where does most CO2 go when it diffuses into the blood?

CO2 will dissolve in the plasma and when Syracuse diffuses into the blood most goes into the red blood cells.

What happens when there's more CO2 in the blood?

More carbonic acid is formed.

What is the result of more carbonic acid in the blood?

Blood pH lowers leading to acidosis
