|
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. |
