alveoli
In what specific structure does gas exchange occur within the lungs?
100
-upper respiratory system
-lower respiratory system
What are the structural portions of the respiratory system?
100
alveolar sacs
Most alveoli are organized into groups called _____
100
-conducting zone
-respiratory zone
What are the functional zones of the respiratory system?
100
P=2T/r
What is LaPlace's law?
200
the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
What components does the lower respiratory system consist of?
200
to keep the airway open
What is the function of cartilage in the airway?
200
simple squamous epithelial tissue overlying a basement membrane
What kind of cells are alveoli made of?
200
to humidify air, to warm air, to filter air, and to conduct it to the lungs
What is the function of the conducting zone?
200
-passive = relaxed, resting, no muscular contraction needed for expiration
-active = forceful expiration, expiratory muscles contract to produce a more rapid decrease in the volume of the thoracic cavity
What is the difference between passive and active breathing?
300
-external and internal intercostals
-diaphragm
What muscles are involved in respiration?
300
the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, and associated structures
What components does the upper respiratory system consist of?
300
-a barrier formed by capillary and alveolar walls
-separates air from blood
What is the respiratory membrane? What does it do?
300
-tidal volume (TV)
-average resting volume is 500mL
What is the volume of air that moves into and out of the lungs during a single, unforced breath called? What is an average amount?
300
-residual volume (RV)
-average amount is 1200 mL
What is the volume of air called that remains in lungs after full exhalation and cannot be breathed out?
400
The side of the pleural sac attached to the lung tissue is called the visceral pleura. The side attached to the chest wall is called the parietal pleura.
What is the difference between visceral and parietal pleura?
400
-FVC is limited – occurs at lower volume due to reduced lung compliance while the FEV1 is normal or increased
-the FEV1/FVC ratio is higher
How does a restrictive disease impact FVC and FEV1?
400
engulf foreign particles and pathogens inhaled into the lungs
What do alveolar macrophages do?
400
-cartilage decreases as you move down the tract
-smooth muscle increases
As you move down the respiratory tract, the amount of cartilage _____ and the amount of smooth muscle _____
400
-to prevent lung collapse
What is the purpose of residual volume?
500
-when PO2 is high, Hb becomes almost fully saturated
-when PO2 is low, Hb is less saturated
What would cause hemoglobin to bind to more O2, becoming nearly 100% saturated?
500
-FVC can be reached but FEV1 occurs at a lower %
How does an obstructive disease impact FEV1 and FVC?
500
mucus elevator
What carries dead macrophages up from the alveoli, through the conducting zone to the pharynx in the lungs?
500
-conducting zone
-secrete a mucus that traps foreign particles in inhaled air
Where are goblet cells located and what do they do?
500
-the maximum volume of air that can be expired following a maximum inspiration
- V C = VT + IRV + ERV
-averages approximately 4500 mL.
What is vital capacity?
