| 1. What is the significance of the fact that the human trachea if reinforced with cartilaginous rings? | Prevents its collapse during pressure changes occurring during breathing. |
| What is the function of the pleural membranes? | Produce a serous fluid that reduces friction during breathing movements and helps to hold the lungs tightly to the thorax wall which keeps the lungs inflated. |
| Name two functions of the nasal cavity mucosa. | Warms the incoming air and moistens the incoming air. |
| Trace a molecule of oxygen from the external nares to the pulmonary capillaries of the lungs. | External nares to the nasal cavity to the pharynx to the larynx to the trachea to the primary bronchus to the secondary/tertiary bronchi, etc. to the bronchiole to the respiratory bronchiole to the alveolar duct to the alveolar sac across the alveolar/cap |
| What portions of the respiratory system are referred to as anatomical dead space? | All but the respiratory zone structures (respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and sacs, and alveoli). |
| External respiration: | Exchange of gases across the respiratory membrane in the lungs. |
| Internal respiration: | Exchange of respiratory gases between the blood of the systemic capillaries and the tissue cells of the body. |
| Cellular respiration: | Oxygen-using cellular processes (that produce energy) with tissue cells. |

| Which of the respiratory sounds is heard during both inspiration and expiration? | Bronchial |
| Which of the respiratory sounds is heard primarily during both inspiration? | vesicular |
| Volume of air present in the lungs after a forceful expiration = | residual volume (~1100 ml) |

| Volume of air that is breathed in and out during a normal respiration = | tidal volume (~500 ml) |
| Volume of air that can be inspired forcibly after a normal inspiration = | inspiratory reserve (~2700-2800 ml) |
| Volume of air corresponding to TV + IRV + ERV = | vital capacity (~4800 ml) |
| Which of the following choices best describes the percentage of composition of air of Inspired and Expired CO2? | Inspired CO2: ~0.04%; Expired CO2: ~4% |
| Which of the following choices best describes the percentage of composition of air of Inspired and Expired N2? | Inspired N2: ~78%; Expired N2: ~74% |
| Which of the following choices best describes the percentage of composition of air of Inspired and Expired O2? | Inspired O2: ~21%; Expired O2: ~16% |
| Where are the neural control centers of respiratory rhythm? | medulla oblongata and pons. |
| 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. |
