What is the respiratory system |
Transport of O2 into the body and the removal of CO2 |
O2 and CO2 |
|
|
What is the transport process |
Pulmonary ventilation, pulmonary diffusion, transport of 02 and CO2, capillary gas exchange. |
Pulmonary |
|
|
What is inspiration and describe the process |
Breaking in Chest expands, ribs, diaphragm (contracts) |
Starts with chest |
|
|
What is expiration and what is the process |
Breathing out Lungs and diaphragm (relaxes) |
Starts with lungs |
|
|
What is spirometry and why is it carried out |
Spirometry is a test used to help diagnose and monitor lung conditions by measuring how much air you can breathe out and in |
|
|
|
What is pulmonary diffusion |
The amount of gas transferred from the alveoli to the capillary blood per unit time |
Alveoli and capillary |
|
|
What happens during left disassociation curves |
H+ descrease Temperature descreases |
|
|
|
What happens during right disassociation curves |
H+ increase Temperature increase |
|
|
|
How is oxygen transported |
In the blood with haemoglobin or in blood plasma |
|
|
|
How many molecules can harmoglobin carry |
4 |
|
|
|
Why does haemoglobin occur |
When maximal amount of oxygen is bound to a molecule |
|
|
|
What are the three forms of how CO2 from cells is carried |
Plasma Bicarbonate ions Bound to haemoglobin |
|
|
|
What happens when 02 in the blood reaches muscle cells? |
02 diffuses because there is a higher partial pressure in the blood than in the muscles |
|
|
|
What is the difference between O2 and CO2 in the capillary gas exchange at muscles |
The difference in the oxygen content of arterial and venous blood which is called -VO2 |
|
|
|
What do chemoreceptors detect? |
Changes in pCO2 and H+ |
