Describe the structures of the nasal cavity

Nostril to the Chonae (pharynx opening)

How is air cleaned?

Hairs

How is air humidified?

Moisture of the epithelium

How is air warmed?

Blood flow

Name the three parts of the pharynx

Nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynopharynx

Distinguish between the vestibular and vocal folds.

Vestibular: False, no sound


Vocal: True, sound

How is the entry of swallowed materials into the larynx prevented?

Epiglottis?

How are sounds of different loudness and pitch produced by the vocal cords?

Vibration

What is laryngitis?

Inflammation of mucosal epithelium of vocal folds

What is the function of the epiglottis?

Covers the larynx when swallowing

Describe the epithelium of the tracheobronchial tree. How is debris removed from the tracheobronchial tree?

-

Take the flow of air from the mouth to the alveoli

Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, primary bronchus, lobar bronchus, segmental bronchus, terminal bronchiole respiratory bronchiole, bronchioles, alveolar duct, alveolar sac

Relate asthma to the bronchi and bronchioles

-

Name the 3 types of cells in the alveolar wall

Type I Pneumocyte


Type II Penumocyte


Dust Cells

Function of Type I Pneumocytes

Gas exchange between air and surface

Function of Type II Penumocytes

Expansion during breathing

Ventilation

Breathing; air in and out of lungs

Inspiration

Air in lungs

Expiration

Air out of lungs

Example how changes in alveolar volume cause air to move into and out of the lungs

In: pleural pressure and alveoli expand

Name two things that cause the lungs to recoil

Elastic fibers in connective tissue


Surface tension

Name two things that keep the lungs from collapsing

Surfactant


Pleural pressure

What is a surfactant and what effect does it have on water surface tension and the tendency for lungs to collapse?

Form a later that reduced surface tension of lungs

Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrom

SIDS- baby dies during sleep

Tidal Volume

Normal breathing

Inspiratory Reserve Volume

Take in as much air as possible

Expiratory Reserve Volume

Force out as much air as possible

Reserve Volume

The amount of air left inside of the lungs after ERV

Inspiratory Capacity

TV & IRV

Functional residual capactiy

ERV & RV


VItal Capacity

TV, IRV & ERV

Total Lung Capacity

Amount of air the lungs can hold

Minute Ventilation

Tital Volume over 1 minute

Dead Space

Gas exchange does not occur

Alveolar Ventilation

Volume of air available for gas exxhange

According the Dalton;s law, what is the partial pressure of a gas?

Pressure exerted by a gas in a mixture of a gas

According the Henry's law, how do the partial pressure and solubility of a gas affect its concentration of a liquid?

The amount of gas that can dissolve a liquid= partial pressure of a gas * solubility coefficient

Describe 4 factors that affect the diffusion of gases through the respiratory membrane

1. PP gradient of gas across membrane


2. Diffusion coefficient of gas in substance of membrane


3. Thickness of a membrane


4. Surface area of a membrane

Name two ways the oxygen transported in the blood.

Dissolve in plasma, combines with hemoglobin

What is the effect of lowering HCO3- concentration inside RBC on the carbon dioxide transport?

Promotes CO2 transport because of HCO3 declines, CO2 and H20 combined

What is the chloride shirt, and what does it accomplish?

Cl- exchanged for HCO3 to maintain electrical balance in RBC and plasma as HCO3 and Cl into RBC

Name 3 effects produced by H+ binding to Hemoglobin

Carbon Dioxide transport increases


pH doesn't increase


Oxygen affinity decreases


What effect does blood Carbon Dioxide have on blood pH

Increased CO2 = decreased pH


Decreased CO2 = Increased pH

Name three repiratory groups and their functions

Medullary


Dorsal


Ventral

Hypercapnia
Increased carbon dioxide corrected by increased breathing; caused by hypoventilation

Hypocapnia

Decreased carbon dioxide corrected by decreased breathing; caused by hyperventilation

What effect does a decrease in blood pH or carbon dioxide have on respiratory rate?

Increased CO2, Decreased pH = Breathing increase



Decreased CO2 , Increased pH= breathing decrease

Hypoxia

Decrease in oxygen levels below normal value

Describe the Hering-Breuer reflex and its function

-Keep lungs from expanding to far


-Forced exhalation so lungs don't overinflate or pop.
