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 |
|

collapse |
|
which of the following triggers hyperventilation |

|
air moves out of the lungs when the pressure inside the lungs is |
greater than the atmospheric pressure |
|
vital capacity equals |
