| Question | Answer |
| Regulation of the respiratory system | blood gas levels are "measured" by the medulla and other parts of the brain that control breathing |
| Inspiration/Expiration | vacuum system is created by rib muscles and diaphragm to bring air in or push it out |
| Control system | coughing and sneezing keep irritants out and cilia on the tract move particles out to be swallowed (mucociliary escalator) |
| asphyxia | insufficient oxygen and excess carbon dioxide |
| anoxia | insufficient oxygen |
| hyperventilation | causes insufficient carbon dioxide (breathe off too much carbon dioxide); vessels constrict and blood to the brain is reduced |
| hay fever | allergy causing histamine production which inflames capillaries, causing fluid production |
| asthma | air tubes constrict and swell; may result from allergy, stress, or exercise |
| viral infection | colds, flu, bronchitis; may lead to pneumonia |
| bacterial infection | strep throat, whooping cough, diphtheria; can lead to pneumonia |
| pneumonia | can spread from the lungs to other organs; lobar or bronchial pneumonia |
| lobar pneumonia | infection of an entire lung lobe |
| bronchial pneumonia | usually a secondary infection of the bronchi (happens after a cold, etc. when your body is already "busy") |
| chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) | typically caused by chronic bronchitis or emphysema (caused by smoking); alveoli lose elasticity, can't expel air |
| pleurisy | inflammation of the lining of the thoracic cavity; breathing rubs them together-- irritating |
| tuberculosis | bacterial infection; problem: resistance develops if the treatment is ended too early |
| lung cancer | causes include smoking, asbestos, or air pollution |
