Question
Answer
Major function of respiratory system   to supply the body with oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide  
🗑
Name four processes collectively called respiraton   Pulmonary ventilation, external respiration, transport of resp gases, internal respiration  
🗑
Define pulmonary respiration   movement of air into and out of the lungs  
🗑
define external respiration   movement of oxygen from lungs to blood, and carbon dioxide from blood to lungs  
🗑
Transport of respiratory gases   transport of oxygen from lungs to the tissues, and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs  
🗑
Internal Respiration   movement of oxygen from blood to the tissues, and of carbon dioxide from tissues to the blood  
🗑
Organs included in th respiratory system   nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli  
🗑
Name the 2 zones of respiraion   The respiratory zone, the actual site of gas exchange, composed of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli, and all microscopic structures. The conducting zone: all other passages from nose to bronchioles  
🗑
Function of conducting zone   warms, moistens, filters incoming air  
🗑
Nose   produces mucus, filters, warms, and moistens incoming air: resonance chamber for speech  
🗑
inflammation of vocal cords, causes the vocal folds to swell, interfering with their vibration   laryngitis  
🗑
Valsalva's maneuver   during abdominal straining assoc with defecation, the glottis closes to prevent exhalation and the muscles contract, causing intra-abdominal pressure to rise, helps empty rectum and stablizes body  
🗑
Trachea   (windpipe) descends from the larynx through the neck and into the mediastinum, tracheal wall consist of several layers  
🗑
Mucosa   goblet cell-containing pseudostratified epithelium, cilia propel debris, bacteria toward the pharynx, rests on thick lamina propria  
🗑
Submucosa   connective tissue layer deep to mucosa, contains seromucous glands, outermost layer is adventitia  
🗑
Adventitia   connective tissue layer reinforced internaly by 16 to 20 C-shaped rings of hyaline cartilage  
🗑
Trachealis muscle   open posterior parts of cartilage rings, which abut the esophagus are connected by smooth muscle fibers  
🗑
Carina   spar of cartilage projects posteriorly from its inner face, point where trachea brances into the 2 primary bronchi  
🗑
Heimlich Maneuver   procedure in which air in the victim's lungs is used to expel and obstructing piece of food or FB  
🗑
Primary Bronchi   formed by the division of the trachea at level T7  
🗑
Secondary(lobar) bronchi   subdivision of primary bronchus- 3 on the right and 2 on the left each supplying one lung lobe  
🗑
Tertiary (segmental) bronchi   third order branching which divide into smaller and smaller bronchi, etc.  
🗑
Bronchioles   passages smaller than 1mm in diameter, the tiniest of these terminal branches, are less than 0.5mm in diameter  
🗑
Bronchial or Resp Tree   because of branching pattern, the conducting network within the lungs  
🗑
Alveoli   thin-walled air sacs within the respiratory zone  
🗑
Respiratory bronchioles   the resp zone begins as the terminal bronchioles feed into these in the lungs  
🗑
Alveolar Ducts   resp bronchioles lead into these winding ducts whose walls consists of diffusely arranged rings of smooth muscle cells, connective tissue fibers, and outpocketing of alveoli  
🗑
Alveolar Sacs   terminal clusters of alveoli, resembles a bunch of grapes  
🗑
Type I cells   single layer of squamous epithelial cells in the alveolar walls, surrounded by flimsy basal lamina  
🗑
Type II cells   simple cuboidal cells that secrete a fluid containing surfactant that coats the gas exposed alveolar surfaces  
🗑
Respiratory Membrane   together, the alveolar and capillary walls and their fused basal laminae form this membrane, an air-blood barrier with gas on 1 side and blood on the other  
🗑
Alveolar Pores   open pores connecting adjacent alveoli allow air pressure throughout the lung to be equalized and provide an alternate route for dz tissue  
🗑
Alveolar Macrophages   dust cells that crawl freely along internal alveolar surfaaces  
🗑
Lungs   paired organs of gas exchange, flank the mediastinum in the thoracic cavity. Right lung has 3 lobes, left has 2 lobes  
🗑
Function of Lungs   primarily air passageways supported by elastic connective tissue stroma  
🗑
Pulmonary Arteries   carry blood returned from the systemic circulation to the lungs, where gas exchange occurs  
🗑
Pulmonary Veins   return newly oxygenated blood back to the heart to be distributed to the body  
🗑
Bronchial Arteries   provide the nutrient blood supply of the lungs  
🗑
Parietal Pleura   lines the thoracic wall and mediastinum  
🗑
Visceral Pleura   covers the external lung surfaces  
🗑
Pleural Fluid   reduces friction during breathing movements  
🗑
Intrapulmonary pressure   pressure w/in the alveoli  
🗑
Intrapleural pressure   pressure w/in the pleural cavity  
🗑
Inspiration   occurs when diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, increasing dimensions and volume of thorax  
🗑
Expiration   largely passive, occuring when inspiratory muscles relax and lungs recoil  
🗑
IRDS   infant respiratory distress syndrome- secondary to inability to form surfactant  
🗑
Four respiratory volumes   tidal, inspiratory reserve, expiratory reserve, and residual  
🗑
Nonrespiratory air movements   are voluntary or reflex actions that clear the respiratory passagways or express emotions  
🗑
Dalton's Law   states that each gas in a mixture of gases exerts pressure in proportion to its percentage in the total mixture  
🗑
Henry's Law   states that the amount of gas that will dissolve in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas.  
🗑
Composition of Alveolar Gas   contains more carbon dioxide and water vapor and considerably less oxygen than atmosphereic air  
🗑
Hypoxia   occurs when inadequate amounts of oxygen are delivered to body tissues. Skin and mucosae may become cyanotic  
🗑
Carbon Dioxide Transport   transported in the blood dissolved in plasma, chemically bound to hemaglobin, and primarily as bicarbonate ion in plasma.  
🗑
Haldane Effect   reflects the greater ability of reduced hemoglobin to form carbaminohemoglobin and to buffer H by combining with it  
🗑
Eupnea   normal resp, rate, rhythm  
🗑
