Physiology Stack 2

Week 12- Respiratory

QuestionAnswer
The function of surfactant is to prevent each alveolus from collapsing as air moves in and out during respiration
Internal respiration can be defined as exchange of gases between the blood capillaries and tissue cells
An increase in carbon dioxide in the blood causes drop in pH in the blood
pressure gradients are established by changes in the thoracic cavity
hyperpnea increase in breathing
basic rhythm of respiratory cycle of inspiration and expiration seems to be generated by the medullary rhythmicity area
during inspiration as the size of the thorax increases the intrapleural and alveolar pressure decreases
when carbon dioxide dissolves in water, some of the carbon dioxide molecules associate with water to form carbonic acid
what variations exist in the body to temporarily store or carry oxygen neuroglobin, myoglobin, fetal hemoglobin
what law states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure Boyle's
during respiratory cycle, intrapleural pressure is always less than alveolar pressure. Difference is called transpulmonary pressure
what represents largest volume of air an individual can move in and out of the lungs? vital capacity
ability of lungs and thorax to stretch is referred to as compliance
which oxygen-binding protein helps move oxygen out of blood and into muscle cells myoglobin
sensors that provide feedback information to the medullary rhythmicity area are the central chemoreceptors and peripheral chemoreceptors
more than 2/3 of carbon dioxide carried by blood is carried in form of bicarbonate ions
right shift of oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve due to increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide is also known as the Bohr Effect

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
