Respiratory Quiz A & P Ii

Front 1

The pressure of a gas is inversely related to the volume of that gas. When pressure increases - volume decreases; when pressure decreases - volume increases

Bronchioles

Front 9

Odorless, colorless gas from incomplete conbustion. CO competes with oxygen at the hemes.

Back 9

Carbon Monoxide

Front 10

The movement of chlorine ions in/out of the RBC as bicarbonate ions move out/in the RBC (move opposite to each other to maintain ionic balance)

Back 13

Eupnea

Front 14

The forcing of air out of the lungs due to positive pressure.

Back 14

Expiration (exhalation)

Front 15

The iron containing part of hemoglobin where O^2 and CO are known to attach.

Back 15

Front 19

Term for animals that maintain a constant body temperature.

Back 19

Homeothermic

Front 20

An increase in the breathing rate due to exercise, increased body temperature or emotional stress.

Back 20

Hyperpnea

Front 21

An elevated or high body temperature, fever.

Back 21

Hyperpyrexia

Front 22

The region of the brain which controls the temperature of endothermic animals. Sensors in the hypothalamus are sensitive to changes in the temperature of the circulating blood and they initiate the appropriate responses.

Back 22

Hypothalamus

Front 23

The state of having too little oxygen in the tissues for normal metabolism. (low O^2; synonymous with anoxia)

Back 23

Hypoxia

Front 24

The movement of air into the lungs due to negative pressure.

Back 24

Inspiration (inhalation)

Front 25

An inflammation of the vocal cords.

Back 25

Laryngitis

Front 26

The cavity that includes everything in the thoracic cavity execpt the lungs.

Back 26

Mediastinum

Front 27

Pressure that is lower than the surrounding atmospheric pressure.

Back 27

Negative Pressure

Front 28

Air containing spaces lined with mucous membrane and open to the nasal cavity via ducts. Includes the maxillary, frontal, spheniod and ethmoid sinuses.

Back 28

Paranasal Sinuses

Front 29

Pressure exerted by a specific gas in the atmosphere.

Back 29

Partial Pressure

Front 30

Membranes of the lungs and lung cavity.

Back 30

Pleura

Front 31

The membrane that lines the inside of the plural cavity wall and covers the diaphragm.

Back 31

Partial Pleura
