Cards

Term
Functions
Definition
ventilation
Gas Exchange -External respiration
O2 Utilization- internal respiration
Term
What is diffusion caused by?
Definition
differences in O2 concentrations
Term
Structure of respiratory system
Alveoli
Definition
Alveoli have Surface Area of 760 sq ft
occur in clusters
at the end of respiratory bronchioles
Term
2 types of alveolar cells
Definition
type I-alveolar cells
Type II- surfactant
Term
what are the 2 zones of the respiratory system
Definition
respiratory
conducting
Term
respiratory zone
Definition
respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveoli
gas exchange occurs here
Term
conducting zone
Definition
nose down to terminal bronchioles
no gas exchange
involved in warming humidifying and filtering
Term
thoracic cavity-diaphragm
Definition
is lower boundary- separated it from abdominal cavity
Term
thoracic cavity- mediastinum
Definition
the column in the middle between pleural cavities
Term
thoracic cavity-pleura
Definition
the lining of the lungs and pleural cavities
a serous membrane that lubricated for movement and to create negative press with in the pleural cavity
Term
what is the difference between the pressures in the lungs?
Definition
-4 this means the lungs will always want to pull down
Term
intrapulmonary
Definition
pressure within the lung tissue;
subatmospheric at rest and during inhalation
Term
intrapleural
Definition
pressure within pleural space; even lower that intrapulmonary which sets up transpulmonary pressure
Term
boyles law
Definition
there is an inverse relationship between gas pressure and volume
Term
why do your lungs expand?
Definition
you lungs expand because your thorax expands, your muscles make your thorax bigger
Term
lung property- compliance
Definition
ability of the lungs to expand (distendilbility)
change in volume/change in pressure
fibrosis decreases compliance
Term
lung property- elasticity
Definition
tendency of lungs to rebound or recoil
lungs are usually "stuck" to thoracic wall;
because of elasticity they are always in tension
Term
lung property- surface tension
Definition
due to thin film of fluid lining the alveolar epithelium
after exhalation makes it difficult to reinflate alveoli
Term
Surfactant
Definition
produce by type II alveolar cells
consists of phospholipids
decreases H-bonds, reducing surface tension
Term
respiratory distress syndrome
Definition
lack of surfactant
Term
acute respiratory distress syndrome
Definition
inflammation
Term
intercostals
Definition
external-inspiration
internal- expiration
Term
what does quiet inspiration use
Definition
diaphragm and external intercostals
Term
what does quiet expiration use
Definition
internal intercostals and abdominal muscles
Term
what does forceful inspiration use?
Definition
adds accessory muscles
Term
what does forceful expiration use?
Definition
uses internal intercostals and abdominal muscles
Term
tidal volume
Definition
normal quite breathing the total volume of air
Term
inspiratory reserve
Definition
the volume of air that you can inhale after a normal inhale
Term
expiratory reserve
Definition
the volume of air you can push out of your lungs after a normal exhale
Term
residual volume
Definition
the amount you can't move out of your lungs after you have exhaled
Term
vital capacity
Definition
the full amount of air you can move in and out of you lungs when you are forces to
how much you are capable of moving
Exres+Inres+ TV
Term
total lung capacity
Definition
total amount of air you can hold in your lungs from 0 to full
Term
inspiration capacity
Definition
how much air you can inhale if you want to TV+InRes
Term
functional residual volume
Definition
ExRes+normal volume
Term
total minute volume
Definition
how much times how fast
Term
anatomical dead space
Definition
conducting zone
Term
dalton's law
Definition
total pressure of gas mixture is sum of partial pressures of the gases
Term
atmospheric pressure
Definition
total pressure of O2 CO2 and N2
Term
ventilation/perfusion
Definition
how much air/how much blood
body tries to match
Term
rhythmicity center
Definition
inhibit
E neurons
founding the medulla oblongata
alternate firing
Term
apneustic center
Definition
found in pons
stimulates I neurons
promotes inspiration
Term
pneumotaxic center
Definition
found in the pons
antagonizes apneustic center
inhibits Inspiration
Term
respiratory acidosis
Definition
drop in pH do to a problem in the respiratory system the body will produce a metabolic alkalosis to balance
Term
respiratory alkalosis
Definition
a spike in the pH due to breathing issues
Term
hyperventilation
Definition
will cause respiratory alkalosis
Term
hypoventilation
Definition
will cause respiratory acidosis
