Respiratory~System

Bio 212 Exam 3

QuestionAnswer
What is the respiratory system? It is known for gas exchange which occurs between the air in the lungs and the blood AND between the blood and tissues.
What is ventilation? Ventilation is the movement of air into and out of the lungs.
What are the structures of the respiratory system? The nasal cavity, the pharynx, the larynx, the trachea, the bronchial tree, and the lungs.
What are the three regions of the pharynx? 1) Nasopharynx 2) Oropharynx 3) Laryngopharynx
What does the nasal cavity help with? It increases surface area and turbulence and humidifies and warms the air before it enters into the pharynx.
What is the larynx? It is formed by multiple paired (arytenoids, corniculate, cuneiform) and unpaired (thyroid, cricoid, epiglottis) cartilages. The true vocal cords are found here.
What is the respiratory zone? This is where gas exchange occurs.
What is Boyle's Law? It states that gas pressure is inversely related to volume. P=k/V Therefore, if size of alveoli increases it decreases in pressure. Air moves from high to low pressure.
What is Dalton's Law? It states that the partial pressure of a gas is equal to its contribution to the total pressure of a mixture of gases.
What is Henry's :aw? It states that the concentration of a dissolved gas is determined by its pressure ans solubility coefficient.
What does an oxygen-hemoglobin saturation curve demonstrate? The affinity hemoglobin has for oxygen at specific pressures or saturation. Changes in the environment affect this curve. EX) Decrease of pH causes curve to shift right.
When the curve in the oxygen-hemoglobin saturation curve is curved Left or Right, what does it mean? Right=Release of O2. Occurs in tissues where O2 is needed. pH, increase in pp of CO2/temp causes this shift. Left=Lungs; due to opposing factors.
