nasal meatius and nasal conchae know bottom right slide 8 nasaopharynx oropharynx larngopharnx
______ arises at the interface where water meets air, the polar water molecules are more strongly attracted to each other than they are to the gas molecules in air
Surface Tension
______ a complex mixture of phospholipids and lipoproteins produced by type II alveolar cells, lowers the surface tension of the fluid in the alveoli and reduces the tendency to collapse
Surfactant
______ refers to the ease with which the lungs and thoracic wall can be expanded
Compliance
_____ which leads to scar tissue formation and reduced elastic tissue
tuberculosis
low surfactant production in _____
premature babies
______ in which lung tissues fills and with fluid and elastic tissue can’t recoil
pulmonary edema
______where elastic tissue in alveolar walls is destroyed
emphysema
_______ the walls of respiratory passageways normally offer some resistance to the normal flow of air into the lungs, however, bronchiole diameters increase (reducing resistance) as the lungs expand and pull on the bronchiole walls
Airway Resistance
______ (narrowing of bronchioles due to smooth muscle contraction)
asthma
_______which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema where airways are blocked or collapsed
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
amount that moves into and out of lungs during quiet breathing
tidal volume (TV):
maximal amount of air that can be inspired above the tidal volume approximately 3100 ml
inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
maximal amount of air that can be expired above the tidal volume approximately 1200 ml
expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a maximal expiration
residual volume (RV)
The pressure of a specific gas in a mixture of gases is called its ______
partial pressure
Each gas in a mixture of gases exerts its own pressure as if all the other gases were not present, thus the total gas pressure equals the sum of individual gas pressures
Dalton’s Law
Quantity of a gas that will dissolve in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressures of the gas _____-
and its solubility
______ is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli of the lungs and pulmonary blood capillaries
External respiration
______ the lesser the difference in O2 partial pressure, the lesser the amount of oxygen moving into the blood
Partial Pressure Difference
______ = low O2 in blood
Altitude sickness
_______The larger the surface area of the respiratory surface, the greater the gas exchange across it
Surface Area for Gas Exchange
_______ (replacement of functional tissue with scar tissue) decreases the gas exchange surface area thus decreases diffusion of oxygen into the blood
emphysema
_______ is the exchange of gases between the blood and the tissue cells which results in conversion of oxygenated blood into deoxygenated blood
Internal respiration
