S&HA&P PowerPoint 14

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Term
Definition
Boyle's law   the pressure of gas decreases as the volume of its container increases and vice-versa. (Air flows from a zone of higher pressure to one of lower pressure and vice versa)  
🗑
Apply Boyle's law to the human respiration system   When diaphragm contracts during ins. volume of the thoracic cavity increases->intrapulmonary pressure decreases, creating a vacuum, and air flows into lungs. When volume of thoracic cavity decreases during exp. intrapulmonary pressure increases->air out  
🗑
spirometer   measures the volume of air inspired and expired by the lungs  
🗑
1 cycle   1 inspiration + 1 expiration  
🗑
You go through __-__ cycles per minute at rest; __-__ liters of air per minute.   18, 20; 6, 8  
🗑
Tidal volume (TV)   volume of air exchanged per cycle  
🗑
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)   volume of air that can be inspired after tidal inspiration  
🗑
Inspiratory Capacity (IC)   maximum volume of air that can be inspired following a normal expiration  
🗑
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)   volume of air that can be expired after tidal expiration  
🗑
Vital Capacity (VC)   volume of air that can be inspired after maximum expiration: capacity of air available for speech  
🗑
Residual volume (RV)   volume of air in lungs after maximum exhalation  
🗑
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)   volume of air in lungs after tidal expiration  
🗑
Total Lung Capacity (TLC)   total air capacity of lungs  
🗑
Lung volumes and capacities vary with:   chemical factors, age, physical factors, emotional factors, and health. Most conditions are compensated, when possible, by change in tidal volume (TV).  
🗑
lung volume/capacity variation: chemical factors   carbon dioxide and oxygen levels as measured by chemoreceptors in blood vessels  
🗑
lung volume/capacity variation: age   Rate decreases with old age as well as elasticity of lungs, vital capacity, and blood oxygen levels.  
🗑
lung volume/capacity variation: physical factors   tall vs. short, athlete vs. sedentary, high altitudes, sea level, exercise, talking, etc.  
🗑
lung volume/capacity variation: health   smoking, genetic diseases, astha, etc.  
🗑
Respiration is controlled by the ________ that automatically regulates the _____and ____ of _______ depending on the body's needs.   brainstem, regulates the rate and depth of breathing  
🗑
In the brainstem, the respiration center is in the:   medulla oblongata and pons  
🗑
Describe brainstem's function in respiration   carbon dioxide level increases-->drop in blood pH stimulates chemoreceptors-->send impulses to respiration center in medulla and pons in brainstem-->brainstem activates nerves involved in respiratory process  
🗑
Asthma   patients have airways chronically inflamed, causing them to tighten and narrow when a person comes into contact with irritants. They respond with dyspnea (short of breath), coughing, and wheezing.  
🗑
Bronchitis   lining of bronchial tubes becomes inflamed and excessive amount of mucus are produced-->cough  
🗑
Cold/Pneumonia   viruses and bacteria cause inflammation of the upper respiratory tract  
🗑
Lung Cancer   uncontrolled cell growth in lung tissues-->metastasis (invasion of adjacent tissue) and infiltration beyond lungs.  
🗑
Cystic fibrosis   genetic condition causing mucus to be thick and sticky, clogging the airways and promoting bacterial infection  
🗑
Emphysema   alveolar walls are destroyed along with capillary blood vessels that run within them. Lessens the total area in lung where blood & air come together, thus limiting the potential for oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer. Cyanosis (blue coloration of skin).  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
