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 |
