Pathophysiology - respiratory review

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
7 parts to respiratory system   start: nasal cavity, 2. pharynx (3 parts to it), 3.larynx (voicebox) 4. Trachea 5. Bronchi 6. bronchioles 7.Alveoli  
🗑
3 parts to pharynx:   naso pharynx, oral pharynx, laryngo-pharynx,.  
🗑
Function of: nasal cavity   filters, warms and moistens air  
🗑
Increases the surface area in the nasal cavity   3 Concha bones  
🗑
function of: nasopharynx   air pathway: soft pallet makes sure food doesn't get into it  
🗑
function of: oral pharynx   food and air travel  
🗑
function of laryngo-pharynx   connects to voicebox; epiglottis prevents food from entering  
🗑
larynx is continual with the   trachea  
🗑
The trachea stops superiorly to the esophagus at the   carina  
🗑
trachea bifurcates to the   Bronchi  
🗑
How many lobes and which side (lungs)   3 on the right and 2 on the left (because of the heart)  
🗑
How many bronchi and where do they go   right and left bronchi each will enter each lung  
🗑
Tinier air passageways in the lungs   Bronchioles  
🗑
Has a lot of smooth muscle bronchi or bronchioles   Bronchioles ; so they are able to expand and contract  
🗑
constriction in your lungs,   concerns the bronchioles  
🗑
millions of air sacs   alveoli  
🗑
one cell layer thick   alveoli  
🗑
easily collapse from moisture in the lungs   alveioli  
🗑
the molecule produced to prevent the alveoli from collapsing   surfactant  
🗑
where does gas exchange take place in the lungs   capillary network  
🗑
Surround the alveoli and gas exchange occurs very quickly   capillaries  
🗑
what are the gases in the exchange   oxygen and carbon dioxide  
🗑
Explain law of diffusion   gas will travel from an area of greater concentration to lesser concentration until equal  
🗑
oxygen pathway   nasal cavity,pharynx, larynx, trachea,bronchi,bronchioles, alveoli  
🗑
carbon dioxide pathway   alveioli, bronchioles, bronchi,trachea, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavity  
🗑
Blood flow from the right side of the heart is making its way into the   pulmonary capillary  
🗑
Very little oxygen is here   capillary  
🗑
A lot of oxygen is here   alveoli; diffuses into the capillary  
🗑
diffusion processes until it is   equal  
🗑
the only vein that is oxygenated   pulmonary vein  
🗑
takes up the most room in the thoracic cavity except for media-stinum   lungs  
🗑
where the heart and trachea is and the lungs surround it   media-stinum  
🗑
what attaches the lungs to the diaphragm and rib cage   parietal pleura (the outer part)  
🗑
what pleura are actually on the lungs   visceraol  
🗑
the space between the pleura holds   serous fluid  
🗑
four parts of respiration   breathing: inspiration and exhalation 2.external respiration (gas exchange in the lungs -alveoli) 3. internal respiration (takes place in every cell. 4.cellular respiration  
🗑
equation of cellular respiration is   glucose+oxygen=ATP=carbon dioxide + H2O  
🗑
atmospheric concentration of oxygen   152mm (mercury)  
🗑
Concentration of o2 in the alveoli   105mm (mercury)  
🗑
concentration of o2 in the pulmonary capillaries is   40mm(mercury)  
🗑
the value of co2 is directly related to   hydrogen ion concentration  
🗑
the goal is to respire by   diffusion;not use energy to breathe  
🗑
co2 can build in the tissue to about   60mmhg  
🗑
concentration of co2 in the pulmonary capillaries is   47mm  
🗑
concentration of co2 in the alveoli is   35mm  
🗑
if you have more hydrogen ions (CO2 buildup) ; you would be   acidic  
🗑
If you become acidic , this would be a drop in your   pH balance  
🗑
Boyle's Law   pressure and volume are inversely proportional. P1V1=P2V2  
🗑
P1V1=P2V2   Boyle's Law  
🗑
Find X if it = V2 using Boyle's Law P1=6,V1=5,P2 =10   6*5=10X, 30/10=10X/10, 3=X  
🗑
According to Boyle's Law, if you increase the pressure you   decrease the volume  
🗑
two main ways to change the volume in the thoracic cavity   using the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles  
🗑
when you contract the diaphragm   it flattens  
🗑
when the diaphragm contracts it increases_______and decreases _________so that _______goes in   increasing volume, decreases pressure, so that oxygen goes in  
🗑
the intercostal spaces allows for   inhalation  
🗑
inhalation increases ______and decreases _______   increases volume, decreases pressure  
🗑
the lungs are spongy _______tissue   connective  
🗑


   

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.
