Anemic Hypoxia
What is ventilation-perfusion coupling?
Matching the amount of gas reaching the alveoli to the blood flow in pulmonary capillaries
Which is the most powerful respiratory stimulant?
Rising CO2 levels
What is the primary form in which carbon dioxide is carried in blood?
as a bicarbonate ion in plasma
T/F: Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture.
True
T/F: Although lung cancer is difficult to cure, it is highly preventable.
True
Which of the choices below is not a functional process performed by the respiratory system?
transport of respiratory gases
T/F: The lungs are perfused by two circulations: the pulmonary and the bronchial. The pulmonary circulation is for oxygenation of blood. The bronchial circulation supplies blood to the lung structures (tissue).
True
This space conducts for air to reach the sites of gas exchange. Includes all other respiratory structures
Conducting Zone
Sites of gas exchange, consists of bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli.
Respiratory Zone
Respiratory muscles->
Ventilation
Moving air into and out of the lungs
Pulmonary Ventilation
Gas exchange between the lungs and the blood
External Respiration
Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and tissues
Transport
Gas exchange between systemic blood vessels and tissues
Internal respiration
Aerobic respiration in mitoch
Cellular respiration
The only externally visible part of the respiratory system that houses the olfactory receptors
Nose
-Provides an airway for respiration
-Moistening and warming the entering air
-Filtering inspired air and cleaning it off foreign matter
-Serving as a resonating chamber for speech
Functions of the nose
Attaches to the hyoid bone and opens into the laryngopharynx superiorly.
-Continuous with the trachea posteriorly
Larynx (Voice box)
The three functions of the larynx
-Provide airway
-Act as a switching mechanism to route air and food into the proper channels
-Voice production
When is the larynx closed?
During coughing, sneezing and valsalvas maneuver
When air is temporarily held in the lower respiratory tract by closing the glottis
Valsalvas Maneuver
-Causes intra-abdominal pressure to rise when abdominal muscles contract
-Helps to empty the rectum
-Acts as a splint to stabilize the trunk when lifting heavy loads
Valsalvas Maneuver
When air reaches the bronchi it is:
Warm and cleansed
saturated with water vapor
Air passages undergo ____ orders of branching
23
Tissue walls of bronchi mimic that of the ________
trachea
-Consist of cuboidal epithelium
-Have a complete layer of circular smooth muscle
-Lack cartilage support and mucus-producing cells
Bronchioles
Defined by the presence of alveoli
Respiratory zone
Begins as terminal bronchioles and feed into repiratory
bronchioles
Respiratory bronchioles lead to:
alveolar ducts
From alveolar ducts it leads to the:
terminal clusters of alveolar sacs composed of alveoli
How many alveoli are there?
300 million
Account for most of the lungs volume
Provide surface area for gas exchange
Alveoli
Thin, double layer serosa
Pleurae
Covers the thoracic wall and superior face of the diaphram
-continues around the heart and between lungs
Parietal Pleura
-Covers the external lung surface
-Divides the thorasic cavity into three chambers
Visceral (Pulmonary) pleura
What are the three chambers the thorasic cavity is made into by the pleura?
1. Central mediastinum
2. 2 lateral compartments (each containing a lung)
Lungs are perfused by two circulations
-pulmonary
-bronchial
Supply systemic venous blood to be oxygenated
Pulmonary arteries
Carry oxygenated blood from respiratory zones to the heart
Pulmonary Veins
Provides systemic blood to the lung tissue
Bronchial arteries
Breathing is in two phases
Inspiration
Expiration
When air flows into lungs
Inspiration
When air flows out of the lungs
Expiration
A mechanical process that depends on volume changes in the thorasic cavity
Breathing
Volume changes lead to ____________________ which lead to the flow of gases to equalize pressure
Pressure changes
Respiratory pressure AKA
Atmospheric pressure
-Pressure exerted by the air surrounding the body
-Positive respiratory pressure is greater than P
Atmospheric pressure
Negative respiratory pressure is _____ than P
less
Positive respiratory pressure is _____ than P
