Answer |
| 4 functions of the respiratory system | exchange gases, regulate pH, protect pathogens/irritants, vocalization |
| upper respiratory system | mouth, nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx |
| lower respiratory system | trachea, primary bronchioles, alveloi |
| inspiratory muscles | external intercostals, sternocleidomastoids, scalenes |
| expiratory muscles | internal intercostals, abdominals |
| processes of external respiration | 3exchanges-air between lungs & atm, O2& CO2 lungs and blood,gases blood & cells Transport O2 & CO2 by blood |
| Oxygen molecule from air to lung | mouth, nose, pharynx, larynx,trachea, primary bronchi, branching bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli |
| functions of pleural fluid | allow membranes to slide across each other, holds lungs tight against thoracic wall |
| Alveolar type I cells | exchange gases |
| Alveolar type II cells | secrete surfactant |
| Boyle's Law | breathing decrease volume=increase pressure |
| Law of Laplace | Larger Alveoli have Lower pressure |
| Dalton's Law | EGAD-exchange of gas is dalton's |
| respiratory system created volume change | diaphram contracts, volume up, relaxes, volume down |
| The maximum volume of air that can be forcibly expired after normal expiration | expiratory reserve volume |
| The maximum volume of air that can be forcibly ispired after normal inspiration | inspiratory reserve volume |
| The volume of air that remains in the respiratory system afer a forced expiration | residual volume |
| The volume of air moved during normal quiet breathing | tidal volume |
| Vital capacity(VC) air moved in/out per min | IRV+ERV+TV |
| Total lung capacity(TLC)vol air in lungs after max inhalation | IRV+TV+ERV+RV |
| Functional residual capacity(FRC) vol air left after tidal exhalation | ERV+RV |
| Inspiratory capacity(IC) vol inhaled after tidal expiration | IRV+TV |
| components to conditioning air before reaches alveoli | warm air, add moisture, filter foreign mat. |
| physical properties of lungs | compliance(stretch)elasticity(recoil)surface tension(pressure w/in alveoli) |
| Air moves from | high to low pressure |
| forced expiration muscles | internal intercostals, abs |
| function of surfactant | prevents surface tension from collapsing alveoli |
| bronchoconstriction | decreased diameter & increased resistance |
| bronchodialation | increased diameter & decreased resistance |

| factors that influend diffusion of gases between alveoli & blood | surface areas of alveoli, diffusion distance, membrance thickness, [c] gradient of gas |
| O2 transported to the blood | 98% bound to Hb, 2% in plasma |
| structure of Hb | 4 globular protein + 1 heme |
| chemical element essential for Hb synthesis | Fe |
| hypoxia | too little O2 |
| hypercapnia | too much CO2 |
| categories of problems from hypoxia | inadequate O2 to alveoli, prob O2 exchange between alveoli & pulm caps, inadequate transport O2 in blood |
| Alveolar PO2 low because of | high altitude or hypoventilation |
| relationship between altitude and PO2 | increase in altitude, decrease in PO2 |
| anemic hypoxia | Hb with low O2(blood loss, anemia, CO poisoning) |
| ischemic hypoxia | reduction in blood flow (heart failure,shock) |
| histotoxic hypoxia | failure of cells to use O2 properly(cyanide poisoning) |
| oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve | gives % Hb sites that have bound O2 at diff PO2 loading and unloading of O2x=resting cell y= % O2 sat of Hb |
| causes shift to left on oxyhemoglobin curve | O2 not bound to Hb-O2 increased affinity of Hb for O2 |
| causes shift to right on oxyhemoglobin curve | increase in CO2-decreased affinity of Hb for O2 |
| 3 ways CO2 transported in blood | HCO3, dissolved CO2(plasma, carbaminohemoglobin(binds to) |
| equation in which CO2 converted into HCO3 | Co2 + H2O yields H2Co3 yeilds H + HCO3 |
| enzyme that catalyzes CO2 conversion | carbonic anhydrase(CA) |
| chloride shift | CO2 diffuses into RBC ain in Cl ion inside blood, shifts rxn right RBC become more + HCO3 diffuses into blood |
| where reverse chloride shift occurs | alveoli |
| relationship between CO2 and pH levels in blood | CO2 increases pH decreases-inverse relationship |
| respiratory acidosis | increased CO2 retention-accum of carbonic acid & drop in pH |
| respiratory alkalosis | too little CO2 increase in pH (hyperventilate) |
| central chemoreceptors | medulla-CO2, PO2, pH- increases ventilation |
| peripheal chemoreceptors | carotid/aortic bodies-PO2, pH, PCO2-increase ventilation |
| respiratory center | located in medulla and pons (CNS) |
| central chemoreceptors respond to increased PCO2 | increase PCO2=decreased pH of CSF receptors in medulla send messages to respiratory center medulla send signal via motor neurons to resp nucleus and ventilation increases |

| what happens when K concentrations are out of balance | cardiac arrhythmias |
| how does body compensate for decrease in BP(dehydration) | baroreceptors increase by vasoconstriction increase HR, increase contraction of heart, vasopressin released decreases BP |
| mechanisms body uses to cope with pH changes | 1st-buffers 2nd-ventilation 3rd renal regulation of H+ and HCO3 |
| how kidneys alter pH | acidosis-secrete H+ and reabsorb HCO3 alkadosis-reabsorb H+ and secrete HCO3 |
