What is the purpose of the mucous membrane?   Filters, warms, and moistens incoming air, traps foreign particles  
🗑
Where is the trachea located?   Extending from the larynx to the bronchi in front of the esophagus  
🗑
What is occurring during inspiration?   Atmospheric pressure forces air into the lungs.  
🗑
How do gases diffuse?   From regions of high partial pressure toward regions of lower partial pressure.  
🗑
How is most carbon dioxide is transported?   In the form of bicarbonate ions.  
🗑
What muscles act to change the size of the thorax?   Intercostals  
🗑
What is the trachea maintained in an open position by?   Rings of hyaline cartilage  
🗑
Which substance greatly reduces the attractive forces between the water molecules lining the alveoli so that they will not collapse?   Surfactant  
🗑
How many lobes does each lung have?   The right lung has 3 lobes, the left lung has 2 lobes  
🗑
Where are the apex and base of each lung?   Apex- near clavicle Base- rests on diaphragm  
🗑
What gas is expelled by the lungs?   Carbon dioxide  
🗑
What is the useful gas taken from the air?   Oxygen  
🗑
What is the molecule HbO2?   Oxyhemoglobin- oxygen bound to hemoglobin as it travels in the blood  
🗑
What is oxygen used for?   It is used in body tissues for cellular respiration that produces CO2 as a waste product.  
🗑
What gas moves from the alveoli and into the capillaries?   Oxygen  
🗑
What gas moves from the capillaries and into the alveoli?   Carbon dioxide  
🗑
What are gas exchanges made by?   Diffusion  
🗑
What is the anterior palate is made up of?   The maxillary and palatine bones  
🗑
What are the functions of the paranasal sinuses?   Lighten the skull, act as resonance chambers for speech, produce mucus that drains into the nose  
🗑
What is the rate of respiration is controlled by?   Set rates in the pons and medulla , oxygen sensor in the aorta and carotid artery, carbon dioxide levels in the blood  
🗑
Where is the actual site of gas exchanges in the lungs?   Alveoli  
🗑
What type of tissue are the walls of the alveoli composed of?   Simple squamous epithelium  
🗑
In healthy lungs, this is always lower than atmospheric pressure, otherwise lungs would collapse.   Intrapleural pressure  
🗑
As the diaphragm contracts, how does it move? What does this do to volume and pressure?   Moves downward, increasing the volume of the thorax and decreasing the pressure  
🗑
