Q

What is the definition of External exchange

of gases?

A

Where gases exchange at the cellular level, oxygen diffuses from the air sacs into the blood and co2 diffuses from the blood into the air sacs to be eliminated.

Q

Definition of Internal exchange of gases?

A

Occurs at the tissue level when the blood carrying oxygen drops off an oxygen load to the oxygen starving tissues and picks up a load of carbon dioxide for elimination

hemoglobin in RBC
33
Transportation of carbon dioxide is done by what?
10% plasma 15% combo of protein and hemoglobin and plasma 75% ionic version formed when CO2
34
CO2 + H2O =
H2CO3 which breaks down into H ions + HCO3
35
What is Hyperventilation?
Deep and rapid respiration resulting in altered blood pH leading to dizziness and tingling, increased respiratory rate without increased metabolism.
36
What is Hypoventilation?
Insufficient amount of air entering the alveoli (becoming more acidic)
37
What is Hyperpnea?
Increased respiratory rate and/ or volume in response to increased metabolism.
38
What is Tachypnea?
Rapid breathing; usually increased respiratory rate with decreased depth
