What are 4 processes of respiration

Pulmonary Respiration, external respiration, gas transport and internal respiration.

Functions of respiratory system

1.Provides surface area for gas exchange


2. Allows movement of air to and from exchange surfaces


3. Protects surfaces from pathogens, dehydration and temp changes.

Nose and nasal cavity functions

1. Warms and moistens inhaled air.


2. Filters debris.


3. House olfactory receptors.


4. Enhance resonance of voice.

What are the paranasal sinuses? Where are they located? What are their functions?

1. Connect to the nasal cavity via small passageways in the bones.


2. Frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid and maxillary bones.


3. Humidify and filter warm air, lighten the skull.

What are the 3 types of pharynxes? And what are their passageways too?

1. Nasopharynx-. Passage for air


2. Oropharynx- passage for food and air


3. Laryngopharynx-. Food and air passage

What is the larynx

Held open by cartlidges which protects vocal structures.

What's the traceha?

Flexible tube that Prevents collapse and over expansion.

What are bronchioles?

have thick layers of smooth muscle. Allow for bronchoconstriction (parasympathetic stimulation) and bronchodialation (sympathetic stimulation)

How many lobes do the Lungs have? What are the lobes called?

Left lung has 2 lobes- inferior and superior


Right lung has 3 lobes- inferior and superior and middle.

What's hilum

Medial groove on each lung

What are the 2 layers Pleura membranes

Each lung is enveloped in a double layer pleura serous membrane.


Parietal layer and visceral layer.

What is conducting portion

Passage from the nares to the terminal bronchioles

What's an aveolar sac

Chamber that connects with several smaller aveoli

Ventilation is driven by what 3 pressure gradients? Where does the pressure from each one come from?

1. Atmospheric pressure, intrapulmonary pressure, intrapleural pressure.


What are the 3 physical factors that can affect pulmonary ventilation? Describe them.

1. Airway resistance- anything that impedes the flow of air thru the respiratory tract.


2. Aveolar surface tension- attraction between the walls of aveoli due to the film of water covering internal surfaces.


3. Pulmonary compliance- ability of chest walls to stretch.

What 2 things are external respiration in the lungs

Carbon dioxide and oxygen

What are 2 internal respiration in body tissues?

Oxygen and carbon dioxide

How is carbon dioxide transported in the blood?

Dissolved into plasma.

Describe the peritoneum membrane and what kind of Tissue it has?

It is the serous membrane of the abdominal cavity consists of parietal and viseral layers. It consists of simple squamous tissue called mesothelium.

Difference between intraperitoneal and retroperitoneal?

Intraperitoneal = organs located entirely within the peritoneal cavity• Liver, stomach, most of small & large intestine


Retroperitoneal (retro- = “behind”) = organs located partly or completely outside the peritoneal cavity

What is submucosa?

Layer of dense irregular connective tissues

Nervous system components

-Autonomic nervous system


- Sympathetic NS – slows motility • Parasympathetic NS – increases motility- Enteric Nervous System (ENS) - Network of sensory & motor nerves

Whats plexus

Network of nerve fibers

What are gastric glands

Secrete mucus, acid, hormones, and enzymes

What are the 4 types of gastric gland cells?

-Mucous cells (secrete mucus)


-Chief cells (secrete pepsinogen)


-Parietal cells (secrete intrin)


- G cells (enteroendocrine cells)

Where is the pancreas located and what are the 3 parts of it?

-Located posterior to stomach (retroperitoneal)


• Has three parts: head, body, tail


What are pancreatic acini?

Organizational units made from pancreatic acinar cells

what increases air turbulence to extract dust and debris from air traveling through the nasal cavity

nasal conchae and meatuses

the larynx lining transitions at the vocal cords from stratified squamous nonkeratinized epithelium to

simple columnar epithelium

why are the rings of cartilage surrounding the trachea c-shaped

they allow the esophagus to expand during swallowing, allow it to change diameter during breathing

the majority of the nasal cavity is lined with

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium.

the volume that remains in the lungs after forced expiration is called what

residual volume

what sweeps foreign debris from the lower respiratory passages

cilia

which of the following reduces alveolar surface tension

surfactant

peripheral chemoreceptors are most sensitive to

PO2

5 yr old charlie is so mad that hes holding his breath until he gets his way, what will stimulate his breathing rate to return to normal

PCO2

which of the following has the greatest influence on airway resistance in the passageways

diameter of the conducting zone passaageways

what happens to the lungs if intrapleural pressure equals or increases above atmospheric pressure

collapse

which of the following triggers hyperventilation

High partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood

air moves out of the lungs when the pressure inside the lungs is

greater than the atmospheric pressure

vital capacity equals

tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and


expiratory reserve volume

what is not true of the effects of hypoventilation

hydrogen ion concentration in the blood decreases

gas exchange happens in all of the following except

terminal bronchioles

what cells clean and digest debris entering the aveoli

alveolar macrophages

the process of respiration that moves air in and out of the lungs is

pulmonary ventilation

which enzyme catalyzes the reaction of lactose into glucose and galactose

lactase

which of the following is an organ of the alimentary canal

esophagus

peristaltic contractions that propel the contents of the colon toward the distal large intestine are
