Question
Answer
the 4 processes of respiration include:   breathing, transport of respiratory gases & external and internal respiration

as we move down the lobes, there is more ___ and less ___   smooth muscle - catilage  
🗑
gas exchange occurs in this zone.   respiratory  
🗑
the respiratory zone is composed of:   bronchioles. alveolar ducts. alveoli  
🗑
as you go down the conducting zone...the conducting tubes becomes smaller. what else happens?   support structure changes. epithelium type changes. amount of smooth muscle increases  
🗑
serous membrane that surrounds the lung   pleurae  
🗑
pneumothorax   equalization of pressure  
🗑
the passageway of the nose and mouth meet here.   pharynx  
🗑
this structure filters, moistens & warms incoming air, it is also the resonance chamber for speech.   nose  
🗑
the pharynx connects the nasal cavity to the larynx. it is also the passageway for __ and __   air - food  
🗑
the tonsils are housed in this respiratory structure.   pharynx  
🗑
known as the voicebox   larynx  
🗑
the larynx connects the __ to the ___   pharynx - trachea  
🗑
the larynx is a passageway for___   air  
🗑
the trachea is known as the___   windpipe  
🗑
the flexible tube running down the larynx dividing the 2 bronchi is known as the...   trachea  
🗑
the trachea is an air passageway that :   cleans, warms & moistens incoming air  
🗑
bronchial tree   air passageways connecting trachea with alveoli  
🗑
the alveoli is __   main site of gas exchange  
🗑
why is the adams apple bigger in males than females?   male sex hormones stimulate its growth during puberty  
🗑
the larynx is part of the __ respiratory tract   upper  
🗑
what cartilage of the larynx is more prominent in males?   thyroid  
🗑
during swallowing, larynx is elevated and glottis is closed by the ___   epiglottis  
🗑
what characteristic allows the trachea to be open & flexible?   c-shaped cartilage rings  
🗑
a chemical secreed by alveolar cells that helps reduce surface tension on alveoli is ___   surfactant  
🗑
an increase in volume of the thoracic cavity results in a ___   decrease in pressure  
🗑
contraction of smooth muscles in the bronchi leads to ___   vasoconstriction - increased resistance & decreased flow  
🗑
an increase in temperature will __ unloading oxygen from hemoglobin   increase  
🗑
the most important muscle during ventilation is the diaphragm, which contracts during ___   inspiration  
🗑
what are the smallest structures of the conducting zone?   terminal bronchioles  
🗑
what type of epithelium makes up the respiratory mucosa lining most of the upper respiratory respiratory tract?   pseudostratified columnar  
🗑
what kind of tissue allows gas exchange to occur in the respiratory membrane?   simple squamous  
🗑
the respiratory membrane is formed by ___   alveolar walls, capillaries & a basement membrane  
🗑
in the respiratory membrane, oxygen goes from __ to the __   alveolus --> blood  
🗑
in the respiratory membrane. ___ leaves the blood and goes to the alveolus   carbon dioxide  
🗑
thick blood barrier that has blood flowing on one side & gas on the other side. what is this known as?   respiratory membrane  
🗑
the pulmonary veins has __ pressure and __ volume   low - high  
🗑
bronchial arteries has __ pressure and __ volume   high - low  
🗑
___ ___ send oxygenated fresh blood to lungs from the respiratory zone   pulmonary veins  
🗑
bronchial arteries provides oxygenated blood to the lungs   bronchial arteries  
🗑
pressure exerted by the air(gases) surrounding the body   atmospheric pressure  
🗑
what is intrapulmonary pressure?   pressure in the alveoli  
🗑
___ pressure rises and falls with the phases of breathing   intrapulmonary  
🗑
what pressure rises and falls with the phases of breathing but eventually equalizes with the atmospheric pressure?   intrapulmonary  
🗑
anytime pulmonary pressure is less than atm pressure. what happens?   air rushes into the lungs along the pressure gradient  
🗑
intrapleural pressure is pressure....   in the intrapleural cavity  
🗑
which type of pressure fluctuates with breathing?   intrapleural  
🗑
intrapleural pressure is usually...   4 mmHg less than regular pressure (756mmg)  
🗑
the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration is known as:   diffusion  
🗑
the inspiratory muscles consist of the __ and __   diaphragm - external intercostals  
🗑
boyle's law states____   when temperature is constant, pressure and volume are inversely proportional  
🗑
volume changes leads to ___ changes which leads to ___   pressure - flow of gases to equalize pressure  
🗑
what is lung compliance?   the stretchiness of lungs  
🗑
healthy lungs are very __   stretchy  
🗑
lung compliance =   change in lung volume / change in pulmonary - intrapleural pressure  
🗑
2 factors determined by lung compliance..   stretchiness of the lung tissue. alveolar surface tension  
🗑
the higher the lung compliance, the easier it is to...   inflate the lungs w/ each breath

🗑
we find vital capacity by adding...   IRV + ERV + tidal volume  
🗑
what pressure must remain negative to prevent lung collapse?   intrapleural  
🗑
when the pulmonary pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure, the pressure gradient...   forces gas to flow out of lungs  
🗑
