Question
Answer
This system takes in oxygen and removes CO2 and water   respiratory system  
🗑
We are meant to breathe through our noses to trap particles (hairs do this) and warm the air with   turbinate bones conchae  
🗑
These neutralize inhaled microorganisms.   pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids  
🗑
The mucous lining the tract is sticky and also traps microorganisms and neutralizes them with   SECRETORY IgA a non-specific antibody.  
🗑
How the rate of breathing is controlled also, The cells of the tract are ciliated to trap particles and microorganisms and to trigger a cough and sneeze reflex through the   medulla oblongata  
🗑
When mucuous moves upwards so it doesn't collect in the deeper parts of the system   mucociliary elevator)  
🗑
After passing through the pharynx, the air passes into the trachea which is a stack of   C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings  
🗑
From here the trachea divides (bifurcates) into left and right bronchi which are also   cartilaginous  
🗑
These are elastic air sacs rich in capillaries that exchange CO2 and O2 with the blood stream via diffusion.   ALVEOLI  
🗑
This substance allows for the dissolving of O2 and CO2 at the surface of the alveolar sac.   SURFACTANT.  
🗑
The level of CO2 in the blood triggers responses by the   medulla.  
🗑
CO2 mixes with H2O to form   carbonic acid (H2CO3).  
🗑
in the medulla they determine the acid concentration in the blood and control the rate of respiration accordingly.   Chemoreceptors  
🗑
a breakdown of the alveoli over years. It is a progressive, eventually fatal disease. There is no replacement of the alveoli once they are destroyed   EMPHYSEMA  
🗑
Carbon dioxide build up in the bloodstream   RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS (CO2 +H2OH2CO3-carbonic acid)  
🗑
The thoracic cavity (chest cavity) is a vacuum. If an injury occurs and air is allowed to enter through a hole to the outside this can develop and a lung will collapse   TRAUMATIC PNEUMOTHORAX  
🗑
In the absence of trauma, a weak spot on the lung (BLEB-a developmental anomaly that developed during in-utero growth) may open causing   SPONTANEOUS PNEUMOTHORAX.  
🗑
If blood gets into the thoracic cavity it is called ____________If both get in it’s called _______   HEMOTHORAX. , HEMOPNEUMOTHORAX  
🗑
caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a bacterium that was on the decline thanks to antibiotics. Now, due to AIDS, these patients are developing resistant strains that are spreading to the general population.   TUBERCULOSIS  
🗑
caused by constriction of the smooth muscles lining the respiratory tract accompanied by inflammation. Its cause is unknown.   Bronchial asthma  
🗑
Caused by Pneumocystis jiroveci (fungus). Very weak organism. Will not cause an infection in a person with a normal immune system. Much more prevalent in AIDS patients and people with suppressed immune systems   PNEUMOCYSTIS PNEUMONIA (PCP)-  
🗑
   
🗑
