Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) |
Multiple fluid-filled sacs (cysts) withing and on the kidney. |
|
|
Pulmonary Respiration (breathing) |
Air moving in and out of lungs-inspiration and expiration-gases are continuously changing and refreshing. |
|
|
External Respiration |
Oxygen diffuses from the lungs to the blood; carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the lungs. |
|
|
Transport of respiratory gases |
Oxygen is transported from lungs to the tissue cells; carbon dioxide is transported from the tissue cells to the lungs. |
|
|
Internal Respiration |
Oxygen diffuses from blood to tissue cells; carbon dioxide diffuses from tissue cells to blood. |
|
|
What are the RS zones? |
Respiratory zone and conducting zone |
|
|
Respiratory zone |
The actual site of gas exchange |
|
|
Conducting zone |
Respiratory passageways-used for air to reach the gas exchange site. Also cleanses and warms incoming air-air reaching lungs has few irritants. |
|
|
What is the nasal septum? |
The midline that divides the nose |
|
|
Why are capillaries important? |
External surface of the alveoli are covered by pulmonary capillaries. The capillaries, the alveolar walls and the basement membrane from the respiratory membrane-blood flows past on one side and gas on the other. |
|
|
What is TLC? |
It stands for Total Lung Capacity TLC= TV + IRV+ ERV + RV |
|
|
What happens during the Respiratory zone? |
Terminal bronchioles feed into respiratory bronchioles where they lead alveolar ducts to alveolar sacs to alveoli-gas exchange. |
|
|
What is atmospheric pressure? |
The pressure exerted by the air (gases) surrounding the body. |
|
|
Intrapulmonary pressure? |
The pressure in the alveoli. Intrapulmonary pressure rises and falls with the phases of breathing, but it always equalizes with atmospheric pressure eventually. |
|
|
Intrapleural pressure? |
The pressure in the pleural cavity, also fluctuates with breathing phases, but it always negative relative to intrapulmonary pressure. |
|
|
What is Boyle's Law? |
The pressure of a gas varies inversely with its volume. P1V2= P2V2 |
|
|
What is Dalton's Law of Partial pressure? |
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. |
|
|
What is Henry's Law? |
States that when a gas is in contact with liquid. the gas will dissolve in the liquid in proportion to its partial pressure. The greater the concentration of a particular gas in the gas phase, the more and the faster that gas will go into solution in the liquid. |
|
|
What is voiding? |
Urination |
|
|
What is the last trachial cartilage? |
Carina |
|
|
Trachea |
The windpipe. Consists of several layers: Descends from the larynx; ends at the division of the bronchi. Mucosa; submucosa; adventitia (goblet cells); lots of cilia. |
|
|
Homestatic imbalances associated with the trachea |
Smoking destroys cilia. Smokers cough to prevent accumulation of mucus in lungs. Tracheal obstruction-Food closes off trachea |
