exchange between air in the
alveolae of the lungs and plasma in
capillaries; exchange between plasma
and interstitial fluid
diffusion
exchange 1 in respiratory system includes
atmosphere to lung
- ventilation
- by bulk flow
exchange 2 in respiratory system includes
lung to blood
- diffusion
exchange 3 in respiratory system includes
blood to cells
- diffusion
parts of upper resp. system are:
pharynx, larynx, esophagus, tongue, & nasal cavity
lower respiratory tract include:
thorax, bronchi, lungs, diaphragm
muscles for inspiration
external intercostals, diaphragm, scalenes, & sternomastoids
muscles for expiration
internal intercostals, abdominal muscles
what are 2 pleural membranes
visceral (interior, attached to lung by connective tissue) and parietal (outer layer- attached to thoracic wall & diaphragm)
what membranes slide against one another & keep the lung inflated
pleural (fluid)
what filters the air
trachea & bronchi
- more specifically cilia
what cells secrete mucus and dilute saline solution
goblet cells
- allow cilia to keep beating & particles are trapped by mucus
true or false- diffusion uses an outside energy source
FALSE- uses kinetic energy of molecular movement
The total pressure exerted by a mixture
of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted by the
individual gases.
Dalton's Law
what is pneumothorax
a punctured lung- pleural membrane is pierced so pleural space continuous w/ atmosphere
the ability of a
stretched lung to recoil
elastance
- due to protein elastin
what happens to elastin fibers in emphysema
they are destroyed
the ability for a lung to stretch
compliance
according to law of LaPlace, if 2 bubbles have same surface tension (T), which one will have the higher pressure
smaller bubble
amount of air moved during
quiet breathing
tidal volume
volume of air
above TV that can be inhaled with maximum effort
inspiratory reserve volume
volume of air
above TV that can be exhaled with maximum effort
expiratory reserve volume
air remaining in lungs after
maximal expiration
residual volume
total pulmonary ventilation equals
ventilation rate x tidal volume
decrease in alveolar ventilation accompanied by decrease in pressure in oxygen & increase in pressure of CO2 in alveoli
hypoventilation
increase in alveolar ventilation accompanied by increase in PO2 & decrease in PCO2
hyperventilation
decrease in alveolar ventilation not matched to metabolism
hypoventilation
- leads to hypoxia & hycapnia
slow wave potentials in smooth muscle are due to:
graded potentials
- open Ca channels
- spontaneous
what inner lining of blood vessels help regulate blood pressure, angiogenesis, & absorption of materials into blood
endothelium
what makes up tunica intima
endothelium & adjacent connective tissue
what blood vessel have all 4 types of tissue
arteries
- have a lot of fibrous tissue to provide stiffness
what determine leakiness of capillaries
pericytes
- sit btwn capillary wall & interstitial fluid
what allow WBCs to bypass capillaries
metarterioles
what is driving force for blood flow
contraction of ventricles
what is the primary determinant of velocity (when flow rate is constant)
total cross-sectional area
true or false- arterioles are controlled by sympathetic division only
true
increased blood flow in
response to increased metabolic activity
active hyperemia
- exercise
increased blood flow
following low perfusion
reactive hyperemia
vasodilation reduces resistance & increases blood flow
true
- increase in protons, increase in K+, increase in osmolarity, bradykinin, NO all cause vasodilation
breakdown of what creates NO
arginine
what paracrines are vasodilators
NO, adenosine, histamine
what paracrines are vasoconstrictor
seratonine
extracellular fluid is made up of
plasma & interstital fluid
description of number of particles in a solution
osmolarity
