Acute Epiglottitis

An acute infection of the throat that can lead to swelling and closure of the glottis

Air movemnet

Air moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure

Alveolar ventilation

Movement of air into and out of the alveoli

Apneustic Center

Stimulating the apneustic Center leads to prolonged inspiration

Auditory tubes

Open into the nasopharynx

Bicarbonate ions

How carbon dioxide is transported in the blood

Boyle's Law

Gas volume is inversely proportional to pressure. If the volume goes up the pressure goes down.

Carbon dioxide

The most important chemical regulator of respiration

Cause of pulmonary embolism

Blood clots, air bubbles, and masses of fat

Cause of rapid increase in the rate of mucus production in the nasal cavity and parang sal sinuses

Exposure to: Debris or pathogens


Noxious stimuli, unpleasant stimuli allergens

Changes at birth

Air enters the lungs


Resistance in the pulmonary arteries decrease


The Forman ovals closes


Gas diffuses across the alveolar-capillary membrane

Conchae

Create turbulence in the air to trap particulate matter in mucus

Conditions present at birth

Pulmonary atrial resistance is high. Pulmonary vessels are collapsed. Rib cage is depressed. Lungs and airways contain only a small amount of fluid.

C-shaped of tracheal cartilage

Allows large masses of food to pass through the esophagus

Cystic Fibrosis

The most common lethal inherited disease affecting individual of Northern European descent

Dad tons Law

In a mixture of air, the total pressure is the sum of the individual partial pressures of the gases in the mixture.

Damage to type I I pneumocytes

Cause a loss of surfactant. Increased surface tension. Increased tendency for alveolar collapsed

Effect of diaphragm and external intercontinental muscles contracting

The volume of the thorax increase

Emphysema

Obstructive lung disease in which elastic fibers are lost, leading to collapse of the alveoli an bronchioles.

Epiglottitis

An elastic cartilage that covers the glottis. Composed of healing cartilage

Equal intrapulmonary and atmospheric pressure

Leads to no air movement

Henrys Law

The volume of gas that will dissolve in a solvent is proportional to the solubility of the gas and the gas pressure

Herring-Breuer Reflex

Protects the lungs from damage due to over inflation.

Inspiratory Center

Establishes the normal rate rhythm of breathing

Inspiratory Reserve Volume

The amount of air that you inhale above the resting tidal volume

Larynx

Consist of 3 unpaired cartilages. 6 parked cartilages

Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Cause tuberculosis

Order of passage through the airway

Trachea, primary bronchus, secondary bronchus, tertiary bronchus, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles, respiratory brochioles, alveolar ductw, and alveoli

Oropharynx

Part of the pharynx that receives both air and food

Oxygen

Transported bound to hemoglobin the blood

Parts of the lower respiratory tract

Brochi, alveoli, larynx,trachea

Phonation

Caused by the passing of air through the glottis and vibrating the vocal fold

Pleurisy

When the pleural fluid cannot prevent friction between the opposing pleural surface

Pneumonia

Cause respiratory functions to deteriorate because: it causes fluid to leak into the alveoli. Cause respiratory brochioles to swell and constrict

Pneumotaxi center of the pons

Modifies the rate and depth of breathing

Pulmonary ventilation

Movement of air into and out of lungs

Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)

A conditions arising from inadequate production of surfactant and the collapse of alveoli

Right pulmonary bronchus

Site where most foreign objects in the bronchus lodge

Soft palate

Divides the nasopharynx from the rest of the pharynx

Tidal volume

The amount of air that moves into the respiratory system during a single respiratory cycle

Trachea

Airway that connects the larynx to the bronchial tree. Facts: reinforced with C shape cartilages. Alters it's diameter as directed by ANS. contains many mucus glands. Lines by pseudostratified cilia teddy columnar epithelium

Upper airway components

Nasal cavity, pharynx, nose, and paranasal sinuses

Vestibule

The part of the nose contained within the flexible tissue of the external nose

Why we should inhale through the nose

So bacteria won't be inhaled from the oral cavity

Vital capacity

Breath in as deeply as possible and then exhale as much as possible, the volume of the air expelled
