🗑
show Secondary bronchi  
🗑
show Tertiary bronchi  
🗑
show Terminal bronchioles  
🗑
show Alveolar ducts  
🗑
Place where most gas exchange takes place (some exchange takes place in the alveolar ducts and respiratory bronchioles).   show
🗑
show Thoracic cavity  
🗑
Cavity formed by membranes; surround the lungs.   show
🗑
The part of the pleural membrane that is in contact with the lungs.   show
🗑
The pleural cavity contains a thin film of this substance which acts as a lubricant.   show
🗑
show Superficial lymphatic vessels  
🗑
show Deep lymphatic vessels  
🗑
show Muscles of inspiration  
🗑
Muscles that depress the ribs and sternum   show
🗑
show Muscles of expiration  
🗑
Expiration during quite breathing occurs when these muscles relax and the elastic recoil of the thorax and lungs decreases thoracic volume   show
🗑
Two factors that cause the lungs to recoil   show
🗑
A mixture of lipoproteins produced by the epithelium of the alveoli; reduces surface tension.   show
🗑
Two factors that keep the lungs from collapsing.   show
🗑
Effect of increased thoracic volume on pleural pressure   show
🗑
Effect of increased lung recoil on pleural pressure   show
🗑
show Increases  
🗑
Effect of increased alveolar volume on alveolar pressure.   show
🗑
Effect of decreased alveolar pressure on air movement into the lungs.   show
🗑
show Pulmonary volumes  
🗑
show Tidal volume  
🗑
show Residual volume  
🗑
Sum of two or more pulmonary volumes.   show
🗑
Sum of the inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume.   show
🗑
After a person inspires maximally, the rate at which lung volume changes when he exhales maximally and as rapidly as possible.   show
🗑
show Dead space  
🗑
The effect on gas exchange when the respiratory membrane becomes thicker; an example is pulmonary edema.   show
🗑
show Decreases  
🗑
show Partial pressure  
🗑
show Increases  
🗑
show Increases  
🗑
The partial pressure of oxygen in blood compared to the partial pressure of oxygen in tissues.   show
🗑
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in blood compared to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in tissues.   show
🗑
show Medullary respiratory center  
🗑
show Dorsal respiratory groups  
🗑
Controls the external intercostal, internal intercostal, and abdominal muscles.   show
🗑
Appears to play a role in switching between inspiration and expiration   show
🗑
show Cerebral cortex  
🗑
show Hering-Breuer reflex  
🗑
show Carbon dioxide  
🗑
The effect of an increase in blood carbon dioxide on blood pH.   show
🗑
show Increases  
🗑
Primarily responsible for detecting changes in blood pH   show
🗑
show Carotid and aortic body chemoreceptors  
🗑
show Increases  
🗑
show Increases  
🗑
Effect of stimulation of proprioceptors on respiratory rate during exercise.   show
🗑
Changes in average arterial oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH values during exercise.   show
🗑
The highest level of exercise that can be performed without causing a significant change in blood gases and pH.   show
🗑
The change in vital capacity.   show
🗑
The change in tidal volume at rest and during submaximal exercise.   show
🗑
The change in tidal volume during maximal exercise.   show
🗑
The change in respiratory rate during maximal exercise.   show
🗑
show Increases  
🗑
List 5 functions of the respiratory system   show
🗑
show Trachea, primary bronchus, secondary bronchus, tertiary bronchus, bronchiole, terminal bronchiole, respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct, alveolus  
🗑
Describe the relationship between the tracheobronchial tree and the lungs and the parts of the lungs   show
🗑
show As volume increases pressure decreases, and as volume decreases, pressure increases  
🗑
List two factors that tend to cause the lungs to recoil and two factors that prevent the alveoli from collapsing   show
🗑
List the four pulmonary volumes and define vital capacity.   show
🗑
List the six layers of the respiratory membrane.   show
🗑
List two ways oxygen is transported in the blood, and state their relative importance   show
🗑
List three ways that carbon dioxide is transported in the blood, and indicate their relative importance.   show
🗑
Describe the chemical events that result in a decrease in blood pH when blood carbon dioxide levels increase.   show
🗑
show Carbon dioxide, pH (hydrogen ions), and oxygen. Chemoreceptors in the medulla oblongata are most sensitive to small changes in carbon dioxide and pH. An increase in carbon dioxide or a decrease in pH stimulates respiration  
🗑
show At rest: changes in pH, which can be caused by changes in carbon dioxide; during exercise: input from the motor cortex and proprioceptors
