Oxygenation Flashcards
The basic human need
Oxygen
The intentions
Scientific Knowledge Base
Exchange of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide during Cellular Metabolism
Respiratory Physiology
Respiratory Muscles / Pleural Space / Lungs / Alveoli
Structure and Function
Process of moving gases into and out of the Lungs / Inhalation / Expiration
Ventilation
Pump blood to the Tissues / Return deoxygenated blood to the Lungs
Perfusion
Responsible for moving respiratory gases from one area to another by concentration gradients
Diffusion
Expands and contracts the Lungs
Work of Breathing
Determines by age, gender, and height
Lung Volume
Moves blood to and from the alveolar capillary membrane for gas exchange
Pulmonary Circulation
Membranes affecting rate of Diffusion
Respiratory Gas Exchange
Diffuses by red blood cells rapidly into carbonic acid
Carbon Dioxide Transport
Ensures sufficient Oxygen intake and Carbon Dioxide elimination
Regulation of Ventilation
Delivery of deoxygenated blood to the right side of the Heart then to the Lungs upon oxygenated blood
Cardiovascular Physiology
Right Ventricle / Left Ventricle
Structure and Function
Oxygen delivery
Myocardial Pump
Volume of blood
Stroke Volume
Adequate blood
Myocardial Blood Flow
Branch of Systemic Circulation
Coronary Artery Circulation
Delivers nutrients and oxygen
Systemic Circulation
Ejected from Systemic Circulation
Blood Flow Regulation
Amount of blood
