| Where are sensory receptors sensitive to changes in O2 levels in the blood located? | aortic arch or aortic bodies and carotid sinus or carotid bodies or common carotid arteryor bifurcation. | ||||
| Activation of the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles begins the inspiratory process. What effect does contraction of these muscles have on thoracic volume, and how is this accomplished? | This increases thoratic volume. The diaphragm moves inferiorly, increasing the superior-inferior dimension; the ribs wing up an dout, increasing the lateral and anterior/posterior dimensions. | ||||
| What temporary physiological advantage does the substantial increase in chest circumference during forced inspiration create? | Increases the thoracic volume more; therefore, creates a greater negative internal pressure, causing the gases to rush in quickly. Also, more "fresh" air reaches the alveoli. | ||||
| The presence of a partial vacuum between the pleural membranes is integral to normal breathing movements. What would happen if an opening were made into the chest cavity, as with a puncture wound? | Destroys the partial vacuum in the pleural space and the lung on the affected side collapses. | ||||
| How is this condition treated medically? | Air is withdrawn (chest tube) and the chest is closed. | ||||
| Would a vital-capacity measurement differ if you performed the test while standing? While lying down? Explain. | Yes. When lying down or sitting, the abdominal organs press against the diaphragm, making it more difficult for the diaphragm to move inferiorly. | ||||
| Which respiratory ailments can respiratory volume tests be used to detect? | Chronic bronchitis and emphysema (often associated). Chronic bronchitis decreases the volume of air that can be inhaled due to excessive mucus production; emphysema decreases the amount of air that can be exhaled (check-valve effect). | ||||
| Why does hyperventilation produce apnea, or a reduced respiratory rate? | Hyperventilation washes carbon dioxide out of the blood. Since carbon dioxide is the major chemical stimulus for inspiration, the desire or drive to breathe is decreased. | ||||
| Where are sensory receptors sensitive to changes in "blood pressure" located? | Aortic bodies in the aortic arch and carotid bodies at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery | ||||
| What is the primary factor that initiates breathing in a newborn infant? | Increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. | ||||
| Blood CO 2 levels and blood pH are related. When blood CO 2 levels increase, does the pH increase or decrease? Explain why. | The pH decreases. Carbon dioxide combines with water to produce carbonic acid which dissociates and liberates a hydrogen ion. | ||||
| Define buffer: | A molecule or molecular system that acts to resist changes in pH. | ||||
| What buffer system operates in blood plasma? | Carbonic acid - bicarbonate system. | ||||
| What role does exhalation of carbon dioxide play in maintaining relatively constant blood pH? | Carbon dioxide leaves the blood during exhalation. This prevents an accumulation of carbonic acid. |
