Respiratory Adjustments/Homeostatic Imbalances of Resp Sys
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are two differences between hyperpnea and hyperventilation? | hyperpnea increases depth of ventilation but not rate, hyperventilation is deep, rapid, ventilation-may result in hypocapnea |
| What are 3 nerual factors that trigger the abrupt increase in ventilation during exercise? | Psychic stimuli, cortical motor activation, and proprioceptors |
| List three adaptive response to high-altitude living | Hyperventilation, hemoglobins affinity for oxygen declines so that more oxygen is unloaded to the tissues, enhanced erythropoiesis |
| Lack or cessation of breathing | Apnea |
| Normal breathing in terms of rate and depth | Eupnea |
| Labored breathing or "air hunger" | Dyspnea |
| Chronic oxygen defiency | Hpoxia |
| Condition characterized by fibrosis of the lungs and an increase in the size of the alveolar chambers | Emphysema |
| Condition characterized by increased mucus production, which clogs resp passages and promotes coughing | Chronic bronchitis |
| Respiratory passages narrowed by bronchiolar spasms | Asthma |
| Together called COPD | Chronic bronchitis, Emphysema |
| Incidence strongly associated with cigarette smoking, has increased dramatically in women recently | Lung cancer |
| Victims become barrell chested because of air retention | Emphysema |
| Infection spread by airbourne bacteria, a recent alarming increase in cases among drug users and HIV-infected people | Tuberculosis |
| Temporary cessation of breathing during sleep | Sleep Apnea |
