Term
These cells continually use Oxygen and release Carbon dioxide?
Definition
Respiratory System
Term
Nose, Pharynx,larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs are all part of what system?
Definition
Respiratory System
Term
Upper respiratory tract consists of?
Definition
Nose and pharnyx
Term
Lower respiratory tract consists of?
Definition
larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
Term
What are the three functions of the Goblet cells which line the nasal cavity?
Definition

Warms air

Mucous moistens air, traps dust

Cilia move mucous towards the pharynx

Term
What is the purpose of the parasal sinuses?
Definition
Opens into the nasal cavity, lightens skull and resonate voice
Term
What type of muscle makes up the pharynx?
Definition
Skeletal muscle (have control over)
Term
The functions of the Pharynx is too?
Definition

Passsageway for food and air

Resonating chamber for speech production

Houses tonsils (lymphatic tissue)

Term
What are the three parts the pharnx is divided into?
Definition

nasopharynx

oropharynx

larynopharynx

Term
The auditory and adenoids are located here?
Definition
Nasopharynx
Term
Passageway for air only?
Definition
Nasopharynx
Term
This is common passageway for food and air?
Definition
Oropharynx
Term
Another name for larynx is?
Definition
voicebox
Term
This is a leaf shaped piece of cartilage?
Definition
Epiglottis
Term
This is the only complete ring of cartilage around the trachea?
Definition
Cricoid cartilage
Term
Point where the trachea divides (T5)?
Definition

Carina

Right primary bronchus (serves right lung)

Left primpary bronchus (serves left lung)

Term
Primary bronchi
Definition
Supply each lung
Term
Secondary Bronchi
Definition
supply each lobe (left 2- right 3)
Term
Bronchi are made up of this type of cartilage?
Definition
Hyaline cartilage (16-20 rings)
Term
Bronchioles are the first airway branches that contain?
Definition
No cartilage or glands
Term
Inflammation of Bronchioles?
Definition
Bronchiolitis
Term
This is where gas exchange takes place?
Definition
alveoli (alveolus)
Term
Name of the membrane that encloses and protects the lungs?
Definition
Pleural membrane
Term
Pleural membrance has two layers which are?
Definition
Visceral and Parietal
Term
Inflammation of pleura causing painful respirtation is called?
Definition
Pleurisy or Pluritis
Term
If excess fluid accumulates in the pleural cavity (caused by infection or heart path) is called?
Definition
Pleural effusion
Term
Air in the pleural cavity is called?
Definition
Pneumothorax
Term
Blood in the pleurial cavity is called?
Definition
Hemothorax
Term
If you have a parital or complete collapsed lung?
Definition
Alelactasis
Term
This lowers the surface tension of water (loses the ablilty to stick together, reduces the tendency of alveoli to collapse)
Definition
Surfactant
Term
This is a transport of oxygen from the ambient air to the tissue cells and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction?
Definition
Respiration
Term
This is a transport of oxygen from the ambient air to the tissue cells and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction?
Definition
Respiration
Term
What are the 3 steps of respiration?
Definition

1- Pulmonary ventilation (moving air into lungs)

2- External (pulmonary) repiration (oxygen into blood, CO2 out of blood)

3- Internal (tissue) repiration (oxygen leaves blood, CO2 enters blood)

Term

True or False

Air moves into lungs when the pressure in the lungs is less than atmosphere?

Definition

True

 

Air will move out of the lungs if pressure is greater then atmosphere

Term
This is responsible for 75% of air moving into the lungs?
Definition

Diaphragm

The movement of ribs (external intercostals) are responsible for the other 25%

Term
Inhalation is ______ process, quiet exhalation is a _____ process?
Definition
Active process, Passive process
Term
List 3 accessory muscles?
Definition

SCM (elevate the sternum)

Scalenes (elevate ribs 1-2)

Pec Minor (elevate ribs 3-5)

Term

True or False

Forced exhalation is passive

Definition

False

Forced exhalation is not passive

Term
Factors that affect pulmonary ventilation are?
Definition

Surface tension

Lung compliance

Airway resistance

Term
This is how much force is required to stretch the lungs and chest wall?
Definition
Lung compliance
Term
4 things that can decrease compliance of the lungs?
Definition

Scar tissue

Fluid build up

Too little surfactant

Blocked from expanding as far as they should

Term
Normal quiet breathing
Definition
Eupenea
Term
Cessation of breathing
Definition
Apnea
Term

Difficult breathing

 

Definition
Dyspnea
Term
This measures lung capicity/volume
Definition
Spirogram
Term
Maximum volume in which lungs can be expanded with the greatest inspiratory effort?
Definition
Total lung capacity
Term
Volume gas inspired or expired at end of spontanous breath?
Definition
Tidal Volume
Term
Volume of gas that can be expired at end of spontanous breath?
Definition
Inspiratory reserve volume
Term
Volume of air in lungs that cannot be forcefully expired?
Definition
Vital Capacity
Term
Total volume inhaled/exhaled per minute
Definition
Minute ventilation
Term
All parts of respiratory system that do not take part in gas exchange?
Definition

Anatomical dead space

 

30% volume stays in dead space

70% volume reaches respiratory zone
