Ballesteros_N1E (Respiratory System & Lymphatics and Immunity) Flashcards
(40 cards)
What structures make up the upper respiratory tract
Nose to the Larynx
Movement of air into and out of the Lungs
Ventilation
Floor of the nasal cavity that separates it from the oral cavity
Hard Palate
Common passageway for air, food and drinks
Pharynx
Whick vertebral level does the trachea extend
Fifth thoracic vertebra
A ridge of cartilage where the trachea divides into two bronchi
Carina
Supplies the segments within the loves of the lungs
Segmental Bronchi
Small air filled chambers where gas exchange between the air and blood takes place
Alveoli
2 types of cell form the alveolar wall
Type l Pneumocytes and Type ll Pneumocytes
Principal organs of respiration
Lungs
How many lobes does the right lung have?
3 Lobes
Which arteries supplies deoxygenated systemic blood to be oxygenated
Pulmonary Arteries
Which type of ventilation is the movement of air INTO the lungs
Inspiration
Which type of ventilation is the movement of air OUT the lungs
Expiration
What is the sum of two or more pulmonary volumes
Pulmonary Capacities
What is the location of polmonary respiration
Repiratory Membrane
Negative pressure space between the parieetal and visceral pleura
Pleural cavity
Covers the thoracic wall, diaphragm, and mediastinum
Parietal pleura
What law is the resistance to airflow proportional to the diameter of a tube raised to the fourth power
Poiseuille’s Law
What is the amount of air that can be forecully expired after a normal expiration
Expiration Reserve Volume
Are large molecules that stimulae an adaptive immune system response
Antigens
Are invovled with cell-mediated immunity
T-cells
Responsible for antibody-mediated immunity
B-cells
Is the suppression of the immune systems response to an antigen
Tolerance
