What part of the larynx has the vocal chords and adjusts tension to regulate pitch during phonation
Arytenoid cartilage
Why does the haemoglobin dissociation curve have a sigmoidal shape
As each oxygen molecule binds, the affinity for the next to bind increases
What stage of cardiac cycle do atrioventricular valves open
Atrial systole
Taut form of haemoglobin has
Low affinity for oxygen
Relaxed form of haemoglobin has
High affinity for oxygen
Example of diffusion limited gas exchange
Carbon monoxide
What scan is used for esophagus
X ray
What do chordi tendoni do
Maintain position and tension of atroventricular valves
Factors causing oxygen dissociation curve to shift right
increased concentration of pCO2, acidosis, raised temperature and high concentrations of 2,3 diphosphoglycerate (2,3 DPG)
Function of type 2 pneumocytes in alveoli
synthesis and secretion of surfactant; (2) xenobiotic metabolism; (3) transepithelial movement of water; and (4) regeneration of the alveolar epithelium following lung injury.
