This is the pathway of air when it enter the mouth and ends in the alvioli
epiglotis, glotis, larynx, trachea, carina, right and left broncius, bronchioles, alvioli
part of respiration that requires moving large gas volumes through open, semi-rigid airways offering low resistance to low. here the inspired gas is warmed, humidified, and cleaned
ventilation in conducting zone
what are the trachea and large bronchi lines with?
cilia and mucus secreting goblet cells
this protects the lungs from the pressure of other organs of the body
visceral and parietal pleura
an invisible lung that is transparent in x-rays and probably collapsed
pneumothorax
this part of respiration requires matching gas exchange to blood flow through pulmonary capillaries in thin alveolar septa (walls)
diffusion
do healthy lungs tend to resist inflation?
yes
the recoil forces in the lungs
collagen and elastin fibers in septal walls
P = (2 x T) / r

describes surface tension at moist air-tissue interfaces of alveolar membranes
Law of Laplace
the pressure required to inflate or deflate lungs to a particular volume is a measure of......
compliance
equation for compliance
change V/ change P
what are diseases that reduce compliance?
edema.. stiff lungs
this reduces the surface tensions at the air-tissue interface of septa

- phospholipid mixture secreted by Type II epithelial cells

- make lungs more compliant and easier to expand at low lung volumes

- stored in lamellar bodies until secreted into alveoli
pulmonary surfactant
these are the muscles of expiration (5)
1. internal intercostal
2. external abdominal oblique
3. internal abdomial oblique
4. transversus abdominus
5. rectus abdominus
these are the muscles of inspiration (5)
1. sternocleidomastroid
2. scalenes
3. external intercostal
4. parasternal intercostal
5. diaphragm
the basic operation of a spirometer is to measure what??
respiratory lung volumes
the maximal volume expired after a maximal inspiration
vital capacity
gas remaining in the lungs after such a maximal expiration
residual volume
vital capacity + residual volume =
total lung capacity
normal breath stops at....
functional residual capacity
what is the pressure in the interpleural space (Pip) at functional residual capacity? ( the normal pause position between breaths in a resting subject)

AT REST
-4 mm Hg vs. atmospheric pressure
this covers the outer lung surfaces
visceral pleura
this covers the inner walls of the chest cavity
parietal pleura
narrow gap between visceral and parietal pleura
intrapleural space
intrapleural pressure becomes more (positive or negative) as the lungs are stretched open to breathe in the tidal volume
negative
intrapulmonary (intra-airway) pressure must also be (positive or negative) for air to enter the lungs during inspiration
negative
in order for air to leave the lungs, should Pip become more or less negative?
less negative
in order for air to leave the lungs, should intrapulmonary pressure become more or less negative?
less negative
what is the intrapulmonary pressure during...

a) inspiration
b) expiration
a) -3
b) +3

a) inspiration
b) expiration
a) -6
b) -3
what is the transpulmonary pressure during...

a) inspiration
b) expiration
a) +3
b) +6
healthy subjects should be able to forcefully expire their entire vital capacity in 3-5 seconds, achieving what percentage in the first second?
80%
persons with airway obstruction will expire how much of their vital capacity in the 1st second?
62.5%
lung ventilation and lung blood perfusion are higher in the ______ of the upright lung rather than the _____
based, apex
during acclimization to high altitude, the partial pressure of oxygen ______ due to decreased total atmospheric pressure
decrease
during acclimization to high altitude, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide ______ due to hyperventilation in response to low arterial PO2
decreased
during acclimization to high altitude, the percent of oxyhemoglobin saturation ______ due to lower PO2 in pulmonary capillaries
decreased
during acclimization to high altitude, ventilation ______ due to lower PO2
increases
during acclimization to high altitudes, total hemoglobin _____ due to stimulation by erythropoletein; raises oxygen capacity of blood to partiallyor completely compensate for the reduced partial pressure
increase
during acclimization to high altitudes, total oxyhemoglobin affinity _____ due to increased DPG within the red blood cells; results in a higher percent unloading of oxygen to the tissues
decrease
