What are the 3 functions of the respiratory system?
Gas exchange
Sound production
Sense of smell
What is another word for voicebox?
Larynx
What does the hard palate allow you to do?
Allows you to breath and chew simultaneously
glottis
opening for air on the trachea
epiglottis
covers the glottis when swallowing so that food does not enter wrong pipe
What keeps the trachea open?
C-chaped hyaline cartilage
What is the trachea lined with?
Pseudostratified columnar epithelia with goblet cells and cilia
What does the trachea branch into?
Bronchi, which then branches into primary, secondary, tertiary, etc. bronchi on each side
hilium
dent in an organ that tubes go in and out of
How many lobes does each have:

Right lung?

Left lung?
Right lung = 3 lobes

Left lung = 2 lobes
Fill in the blank.

Terminal bronchiole --> _______ --> Alveoli
Repiratory brochiole
conducting zone vs. respiratory zone
conducting - area where we move air

respiratory - gas exchange between air and blood
What are 4 reasons why lungs don't collapse?
1. Hard skull keeps nasal cavities, pharyx, and bronchi open

2. Trachea has cartilage rings

3. Lungs surrounded by pleura

4. Surfactant
pneumothorax

What usually follows pneumothorax?
air in the pleura


Atelectasis
atelectasis
collapsed lung
surfactant
reduces adhesion and cohesion of water molecules found on alveolar surfaces
Pneumocyte I
make up alveolar wall
Pneumocyte II
produce surfactant
law of diffusion of gases
if they can, gasses will move from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure
Boyle's law
relates pressure w/ volume; as pressure goes up, volume goes down & vice versa
Dalton's law of partial pressures
in a mixture of gases, each gas will exert a part of the total pressure equal to its amount
Henry's law
deals with gases moving in and out of liquids; gases will follow rule of diffusion
Use of what law allows humans to control ventilation?
Boyle's law
What is your primary respiratory muscle?

What also helps?
Diaphragm

Intercostal muscles
External respiration is better known as...
Pulmonary gas exchange
Internal respiration is better known as...
Systemic gas exchange
Why do we move blood from right ventricle to lungs?
Get O2 and dump CO2
Why do we move blood from left ventricle to body?
Send O2 and pick up CO2
What percent of O2 in blood is bound to hemes?

What is this called?
98%

Oxyhemoglobin
23% of blood CO2 is ____________.

They ride on _______.
carbaminoHb

protein arms
7% of blood CO2 is dissolved in ________.
plasma
70% of blood CO2 is carried as ____.
HCO3- (bicarbonate)
What enzyme is responsible for this:

CO2 + H20 --> <-- H2CO3
carbonic anhydrase
What is H2CO3 called?
Carbonic acid
tuberculosis
highly contagious infection of the lungs
tracheostomy
tube is inserted to permit airflow to trachea via incision
COPD
progress disorder of the airways that restricts airflow and reduces alveolar ventilation
cystic fibrosis
inherited condition in which the exocrine glands produce abnormally viscous mucus
emphysema
chronic, progressive condition characterized by shortness of breath and inability to tolerate physical exertion
mountain sickness
altitude sickness that is caused by combination of hypoxia and lower atmospheric pressure
decompression sickness
occurs when an individual experiences sudden change in pressure
anthracosis
caused by inhalation of coal dust; aka "black lung disease;
pleurisy
an inflamed pleura characterized by fever, painful and difficult breathing, and a short dry cough
Haldene effect
Deoxygenation of the blood increases its ability to carry carbon dioxide
chloride shift
exchange of bicarbonate (HCO3-) and chloride (Cl-) across the membrane of red blood cells
respiratory/lung compliance
how easily the lungs can expand or contract
The great the lung compliance, ________.
the easier it is to fill and empty lungs.
The lower the lung compliance, ___________.
the harder it is to fill and empty lungs; a greater force is required.
What connects each tracheal cartilage?
Trachealis muscle
