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
|
