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

Question
Answer
vibrissae   show
🗑
show lining the slitlike superior region of the nasal cavity, contains receptors for the sense of smell  
🗑
respiratory mucosa   show
🗑
lysozyme   show
🗑
show secrete by epithelial cells of the rspiratory mucosa that are natural antibiotics that help to get rid of invading microbes  
🗑
meatus   show
🗑
show nasopharynx, oropharynx & laryngopharynx  
🗑
show located on the posterior walls of the nasopharynx; traps & destroys pathogens entering the nasopharynx in air  
🗑
show pired palatine tonsils; & lingual tonsil  
🗑
show common passageway for food & air & is line w. a stratified squamous eithelium  
🗑
show provide a patent(open) airway, to act as a sqitching mechanism to route air & food into the proper channels & voice production (bc it houses the vocal cords)  
🗑
vocal ligaments   show
🗑
show inflammation of the vocal folds; causes vocal folds to swell, interferin w their vibration; also caused by overuse of voice, very dry air, bacterial infections rumors & inhalation of irritating chems  
🗑
Valsalva's maneuver   show
🗑
submucosa   show
🗑
show outermost layer that is a connective tissue layer that is reinforced internally by 16 to 20 C-shaped rings of hyaline cartilage & is perfused tot eh perichondrium of theses cartilages  
🗑
carina   show
🗑
secondary (lobar) bronchi   show
🗑
tertiary (segmental) bronchi   show
🗑
show when air passages are under 1 mm in diameter  
🗑
bronchial or respiratory tree   show
🗑
respiratory zone   show
🗑
name the hierchy of the respiratory zone   show
🗑
where does the actual exchange of gas occur   show
🗑
Type I cells   show
🗑
show alveolar-capillary membrane; the combination of the alveolar & capillary walls and their fused basal laminas; has gas on one side & blood flowing past on the other  
🗑
show alveolus  
🗑
show blood  
🗑
type I cells are the primary source of   show
🗑
show secret a fluid containing surfactant that coats the gasexposed alveolar surfaces  
🗑
alveolar pores   show
🗑
show crawl freely along the internal alveolar surfaces (AKA dust cells)  
🗑
show an indentation on the medial (mediasinal) surface of each lungq  
🗑
show the oblique fissure  
🗑
what subdivides the right lung into 3 lobes?   show
🗑
bronchopulmonary segments   show
🗑
each lung contains __ bronchopulmonary segments arranged in similar patterns   show
🗑
show when a pulmonary disease occurs it is often confined to one or a few bronchopulmonary segments  
🗑
show the smallest subdivision of the lung visible with the naked eye; each one is served by a large bronchiole & its branches  
🗑
show balance of lung tissue  
🗑
pulmonary arteries   show
🗑
show fed off of the pulmonary arteries; surrond the alveoli  
🗑
show conveys freshly oxygenated blood from the respiratory zones of the lungs to the heart  
🗑
bronchial arteries   show
🗑
show the transport vehicle for nerve fibers to enter each lung; located on the lung root & run along the bronchial tubes & blood vessels within the lungs  
🗑
pleurae   show
🗑
parietal pleura   show
🗑
visceral/pulmonary pleura   show
🗑
show inflammati of the pleurae; often results fm pneumonia; pleural surfaces become dry & rough or over fluidized  
🗑
name the two phases of pulmonary ventilation   show
🗑
show period when air flows into the lungs  
🗑
show period when gases exit the lungs  
🗑
show (Palv) pressure within the alveoli of the lungs (rises & falls with the phases of breathing)  
🗑
intrapleural pressure   show
🗑
show high to low pressure  
🗑
transpulmonary pressure   show
🗑
show lung collase, occurs when air enters the pleural cavity through a chest wounds, or a rupture of the visceral pleura which allows air to enter the pleural cavity from th rspiratory trat  
🗑
show the presence of air in the intrapleural space; can be reversed by closing the "hole" & drawing air out of the intrapleural space w chest tubes allowing the lung to reinflate & resume its normal function  
🗑
pulmonary ventilation depends on   show
🗑
show pressure changes; flow of gases  
🗑
Boyles' law   show
🗑
show the diaphragm & the intercostal muscles  
🗑
when P-avl > P atm the pressure gradient forces gases to   show
🗑
F= delta P/ R   show
🗑
show inversely (gas flow decreases as resistance increases  
🗑
surfactant   show
🗑
show causes when too little surfactant is present, surface tension forces can collapse the alveoli; treated with positive pressure respirators that force air into the alveoli  
🗑
show combined residual & expiratory reserve volumes & represents the amount of air remaining in the lungs after a tidal expiration  
🗑
VC; vital capacity   show
🗑
show the sum of all lng volumes & is normally around 6000 ml in males  
🗑
minute/total ventilation   show
🗑
show measures the amount of gas expelled when a subject takes a deep breath & then forcefully exhales maximally & as rapidly as possible  
🗑
FEV; forced expiratory volume   show
🗑
how is alveolar ventilation computed?   show
🗑
show the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture  
🗑
show the pressure exerted by each gas; it is directly proportional to its percentage in the total gas mixture  
🗑
show when a mixture of gases is in contact w/ a liquid, each gas will dissolve in the liquid in proportion to its partial pressure  
🗑
oxygen toxicity   show
🗑
show hemoglobin that has released oxygen  
🗑
show oxygen unloading is accelerated where it is most needed  
🗑
hypoxia   show
🗑
anemic hypoxia   show
🗑
show results when blood circulation is impaired or blocked  
🗑
show occurs when blody cells are unable to use oxygen even though adequate amounts ar delivered  
🗑
show indicated by reduced arterial P o2  
🗑
show unique type of hypoxemic hypoxia & is the leading cause of death from fire  
🗑
carbaminohemoglobin   show
🗑
carbonic anhydrase   show
🗑
show the ionci exchange process; a rapid outrush of negative bicarbonate ions from the RBC chloride ions (Cl-) move from the plama into the erythrocytes  
🗑
Haldane effect   show
🗑
show (if the hydrogen ion concentration in blood begins to rise, excess H+ is removed by combining w. HCO3- to form carbonic acid (a weak acid that disociates very little at either physiological or acidic pH) (if H+ concentration drops below desirable levels i
