Final Flashcards
_ supplies body with O2 and disposes of CO2 through respiration
respiratory system
_ is the movement of air into/out of lungs
pulmonary ventilation (breathing)
_ is the movement of oxygen from lungs to blood and carbon dioxide from blood to lungs
external respiration
_ is when the circulatory system carries oxygen to body tissues and carbon dioxide to lungs
transport of respiratory gasses
_ is movement of oxygen from blood to tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues to blood
internal respiration
_ is respiratory passageways that provide rigid conduits for air to reach gas exchange sites
conduction zone
_ (microscopic structures) the actual site of gas exchange
respiratory zone
_ keeps food out of respiratory pathway by covering trachea and directing food to esophagus
epiglottis
_ is a space that opens-closes during vibrations; role in speech development and pronunciation
glottis
right lung has _ lobes; left lung has _ lobes
3; 2
_ (unique to left lung) is an indentation to provide space for the heart
cardiac notch
_ is a double-layered serosa surrounding the lungs; produces serous fluid
pleura
_ (outer layer) covers thoracic wall and superior diaphragm
parietal pleura
_ (inner layer) covers external lung surface
visceral pleura
in _, pulmonary arteries deliver deoxygenated blood [to lungs]
pulmonary circulation
in _, bronchial arteries provide oxygenated [systemic] blood to lung tissue
bronchial circulation
_ is bringing air into lungs (Ppul < Patm)
inspiration
_ is expelling air from lungs (Ppul > Patm)
expiration
a _ is used to measure respiratory volume
spirometer
_ is air inhaled-exhaled in resting conditions
tidal volume (TV)
tidal volume = _ml
500
_ is the total amount of exchangeable air; max amount that can be exhaled after max inspiration (= TV + IRV + ERV)
vital capacity (VC)
vital capacity = _ml
4800
_ is the amount of air that can be expelled from lungs after normal tidal volume expiration
expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
