Question
Answer
Describes the fact that each gas a mixture exerts pressure according to its percentage in the mixture   Dalton's law  
🗑
States that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas varies inversely with it's volume   Boyle's law  
🗑
States that when gases are in contact with liquids, each gas will dissolve in proportion to its partial pressure and solubility in the liquid   Henry's law  
🗑
What therapy is used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, gas gangrene, and tetanus?   Hyperbaric oxygen  
🗑
This therapy represents a clinical application of which of the ideal gas laws?   Henry's law  
🗑
What are the mechanism and consequences of oxygen toxicity?   Mechanism: generation of free radicals Consequences: CNS depression, coma, death  
🗑
Period of breathing when air enters the lungs   Inspiration  
🗑
Period of breathing when air leaves the lungs   Expiration  
🗑
Alternate flushing of air into and out of the lungs   Pulmonary ventilation(breathing)  
🗑
Exchange of gases between alveolar air and pulmonary capillary blood   External respiration  
🗑
Exchange of gases between blood and tissue cells   Internal respiration  
🗑
All gas exchanges are made by   Diffusion  
🗑
When substances pass in this manner, they move from areas of their___to areas of their___.   Higher concentration, Lower concentration  
🗑
Thus oxygen continually passes from the___and then from the___.   Air of alveoli to capillary blood; Capillary blood to tissue cells  
🗑
Conversely, carbon dioxide moves from the___and from___.   Tissue cells to capillary blood; Capillary blood to alveolar air  
🗑
As a result of such exchanges, arterial blood tends to be relatively___, while venous blood is relatively___.   Carbon dioxide poor and oxygen rich; Oxygen poor and carbon dioxide rich  
🗑


   

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.
