the tidelike movement of air into and out of the lungs so that gases in the alveoli are contiunously changes and refreshed.
pulmonary ventilation
the gas exchange between the blood and the air-filled chambers of the lungs
external respiration
exchange of gases between systemic blood and tissue cells
internal respiration
what differences in structure between the right and left primary bronchi would cause an inhaled substance or object to more frequently end up in the right lung?
the right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left.
what are the structural differences between the right and left lungs?
the right lung has 3 lobes and 2 fissures
the left lung has 2 lobes and 1 fissure. it also has a cardiac notch
what is an alveolus?
tiny balloonlike expansions along the alveolar sacs and occasionally found protruding from alveolar ducts and respiratory bronchioles. they are composed of a single thin layer of squamous epithelium overlying a wispy basal lamina
what is the mechanics behind inspiration?
the inspiratory muscles contract
the size of the thoracici cavity increases.
the intrpulmonary bolume increases lowering the air pressure inside the lungs.
air flows down pressure gradient into the lungs.
what is the mechanics behind expiration?
the inspiratory muscles relax
the elasic lung tissue recoil and decreases the intrathoracic and intrapulmonary pressure.
the gas flows out of the lungs bc of the change in pressure gradient.
what muscles are involved in inspiration and expriation?
external intercostals and diaphragm.
what is the Bell Jar Lung Model and what parts of the body are represented by the ballons, wall of the jar, the rubber membrane, and the Y shaped tube?
balloons: lungs
wall of jar: thorax
rubber membrane: diaphragm
Y shaped tube:
how do you calculate the minute respiratory volume?
MRV= TV x respirations/min
amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under restin conditions
tidal volume
amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal tidal volume inhalation
inspiratory reserve volume
amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal vilume exhalation
expiratory reserve volume
maximun amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximal inspiration. How do you calculate this?
vital capacity
VC= TV + IRV + ERV
what are the kidneys the major homeostatic organs of the body?
kidneys maintains the electrolye, acid-base, and fluid balances of the blood
what is the driving force for the process of filtration within the renal corpuscle?
it is a passive process
what does the juxtaglomerular apparatus control?
forming concentrated urine.
what three process occur during thr formation of urine?
filtration
tubular reabsorption
tubular secretion
where do each of the process that occur during the formation of urine take place?
filtration: glomerulus
tubular reabsorption:tubules
tubluar secretion: tubules
what is the scientific term for voiding or urination?
micturition
what can the color, turbidity and odor telly about the person eho gave the sample?
color and turbidity: normally transparent yellow. color variations indicate the relative concentration of solutes to water in the urine.
Odor: normal-aromatic, ammonia-like odor. some drugs, vegetables, and carious disease processes alter odor.
what would you expect to find in a urine sample fro a healthy person?
contains ions: Na, Cl, K
nitrogenous wastes: ammonia, creatinine, urea and uric acid
foreign chemicals: drugs pesticides, food additives
suspended solids in trace amounts: bacteria, blood cells, casts
what would indicate a disease condition?
glucose, acetone-> diabetes mellitus
Bile-> liver disease, obsrtuction of bile ducts, hemolytic disease
what are the normal ranges for pH and specific gravity tests?
pH 4.6-8.0
specific gravity: 1.001-1.035
the lower the number of the specific gravity test means what?
the more water it has
how do you do a sugar analysis on urine?
2 drops water, 2 drops sample, 1 tablet of NaOH
follow the color directions
what are gonads?
the essential organs of reproduction
what cells do gonads produce?
germ cells
male: sperm
female: ova
what is a vasectomy?
cutting of the vas deferens to block sperm
what is an ectipic pregnancy?
when the fertilized egg implants anywhere other than the uterus.
what is gametogenesis?
process of gamete formation
what is meiosis?
a specialized type of nuclear dividion. occurs in the ovaries and testes during gametogenesis
what are homologous chromosomes?
egg and sperm chromosome that carry genes for the same traits
what is a zygote?
fertilized egg.
how many ova are fromed from a single primary oocyte?
1
what is synapsis?
the homologous chromosomes begin to pair so that they become closely synapsis
what is crossing over?
while in synapsis, that arims of adjacent homologys chromosones coil around each other forming many points of crossover
spermatogensis produced how many sperm form one primary spermatocyte?
4
what is spermiogenesis?
human sperm production
