Ventilation
|
Movement of air in and out of the lungs
|
|
Respiration
|
Actual gas exchange
|
|
Tasks of the Respiratory System (3)
|
1) pH regulation (CO2<-->HCO3)
2) Thermoregulation 3) Protection from disease |
|
When you breathe too much, your blood pH is....
|
- Alkaline (>7).
- Expelling lots of CO2, so the system is shifted to the right heavily, which increases blood pH |
|
When you breathe too little, your blood pH is...
|
- Acidosis. (<7).
- Don't breathe a lot, there's no need to shift the system to CO2, so there's an acid buildup (H+ and HCO3-) |
|
How is Carbon Dioxide Transported? (IMPORTANT EQUATION)
|
H + HCO3- <-> H2CO3 <-> CO2 + H2O
|
|
Conduction Zone
|
- ONLY Venhilation (moving gas in and out)
- Trachea |
|
Respiratory Zone
|
- Gas Exchange
- Aveoli |
|
Aveoli
|
Tiny sacs 1 cell thick, have thin walls, covered with capillaries, gas exchange takes place here
|
|
Surfactant
|
- Aveoli would normally collapse because of surface tension
- Surfactant reduces Surface Tension and prevents collapsed lungs |
|
Expiration
|
- Air OUT
- Decreased Lung Volume - Relaxation of Diaphram ++++ pressure compared to outside so air can exit |
|
Inspiration
|
- Diaphram contracts
- Increase volume of chest cavity - NEGATIVE pressure in lungs causes air to low in and enter lungs/aveoli - ACTIVE process |
|
Cavities of Lungs (3)
|
- Parietal Pleura
- Pleural Space - Visceral Pleura Together, they keep lungs inflated and keep lungs from collapsing. |
|
Pulmonary Edema
|
- Increase in BP in capillaries, results in fluid in to lungs (normaly prevented by lymphatic vessels)
|
|
How is Respiration Regulated?
|
- Medulla in the brainstem (it's involuntary)
- pH (breathe too much=alkadosis, breathe too little=acidosis) - Irritants (coughing) |
|
Keratin
|
- When skin cells die, the skin is thickened by the production of this protein
- Helps make us waterproof |
|
Melanin
|
Pigment that absorbs UV light and decreases damage incurred
|
|
Purposes of the Skin (3)
|
- Pathogen protection
- Decreases excess water loss - Temperature Regulation |
|
Testes
|
Male
- Outside body, to maintain optimal temperature for spermatogenesis - Secretes testosterone |
|
Seminal Vessicle
|
- Secrete 60% of semen volume to ejaculatory duct
- Help nourish sperm |
|
Prostate Gland
|
Allow sperm to coagulate
|
|
Spermatogenesis
|
- Synthesis of sperm (2n to n)
- Begins at puberty and continues until death - Produces 4 spermatids (which mature into spermatozoa) |
|
Spermatogonium
|
- Mitotically reproduce before meiosis, replicate DNA
- Gonium = "GONNA" be sperm. |
|
Men
Where does 1st Meiotic Division occur? |
- Between PRIMARY Spermatocyte and the formation of the SECONDARY spermatocyte
|
|
Men
Where does the 2nd Meiotic Division occur? |
- Between the SECONDARY spermatocyte and the formation of spermatics (non-mature recombinants)
|
|
Spermatid
|
Non-mature recombinant, matures into spermatozoa
|
|
Female
When does Oogenesis begin? |
- Prenatally
- Develop from Oogonia to PRIMARY oocyte and then stop before Anaphase I |
|
Female
At Puberty, what happens? |
- All the "eggs" have been arrested at primary oocytes
- MEIOSIS 1 happens right as woman menustrates, produces polar body |
|
Female
When does Meiosis II Happen? |
- After fertilization, we release second polar body and form zygote
|
|
Follicle
|
Also known as a secondary oocyte
|
|
Ovarian Cycle (3)
|
- Follicular
- Ovulatory - Luteal Describes what happens to the actual egg during a woman's monthly cycle |
|
Follicular Phase
|
- Primary Follicle matures
- Estrogen produced |
|
Ovulatory Phase
|
- Secondary Ooyte released
- Triggered by **LH SURGE** - Corpus Luteum formed |
|
Corpus Luteum
|
- Remnants of follicle
- Secretes progesterone and estrogen at high levels (FSH/LH low) |
|
Luteal Phase
|
- Full formation of corpus luteum
|
|
Uterine Cycle
|
- Menustration
- Proliferative - Secretory Describes what happens to the uterine wall during a females cycle |
|
Menustration
|
- Triggered by DEGENERATION of corpus luteum (what happens when fertilization doesn't happen)
- Bleeding - Endomitrium sloughed off |
|
Proliferative
|
- Follicle is producing estrogen
- Proliferation of new endomitrium |
|
Secretory Phase
|
- After ovulation
- The egg is chilling, and so is the corpus luteum, which is secreting estrogen and progesterone - Endomitrium still developing |
