U2-Resp Sys
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| tidal volume | regular unforced exhale, tides are normal |
| expiratory reserve volume | exhale normally and forced exhale after, reserve energy needed |
| inspiratory reserve volume | inhale normally and forced inhale after, reserve energy needed |
| residual volume | air that remains in lungs after forced exhale, residue left over trying to hard |
| vital capacity | inspiratory reserve volume + expiratory reserve volume = total air moved in and out. vital to move air in and out |
| respiratory rate | controlled by CO2 concentration |
| medulla oblongata | blood passes by and it CO2 is high, stimulate diaphragm and intercostal muscles to contract |
| muscles in bronchioles | sensitive to CO2 concentration, CO2 high they will dilate and increase air reaching alveoli |
| oxygen receptors | in aorta and carotid arteries, stimulates medulla oblongata |
