25
the ability to breathe is called
respiratory compliance
26
chemical produced in the lungs that prevents the alveoli from sticking together,
alveoli surficant
27
true/false: respiratory rate must increase in order to replenish depleted blood
true
28
human bodies normal breathing strategy is to
ventilate air into sacs and keep minimum residual volume in lungs
29
true/false: the lungs are completely emptied and then refilled with air
false- they are not completely empty
30
where is the respiratory center?
medulla oblongata
31
sends volleys of impulses to the muscles of inspiration with each revolution
ventral respiratory group
32
influences the VGR by coordinating feedback from stretch receptors in the lung and other feedback re breathing rate.
Dorsal respiratory group
33
regulating the balance of inhalation/exhalation is
Hering- Breur reflex
34
promote our normal, regular respiratory rate at rest.
medulla pons/ reflexes
35
true/false: Any slight drop in pH or increase in CO2 increases respiratory rate
true
36
Any slight drop in pH or increase in CO2 increases respiratory rate
direct medullary effect
37
strongest stimulators of respiratory rate
chemoreceptors in wall of aorta and carotid arteries
38
true/false :the body is very sensitive to CO2 and acid levels
true
39
actions which increase blood CO2 levels (such as exercise) stimulate
increased respiratory rate
40
actions which increase blood oxygen and decrease blood CO2 levels
depress respiratory rate
41
allow air into the entrance of the nasal cavity
nostrils
42
we switch back to stratified squamous in to _____ pharynx
oropharynx
43
cartilage box with epiglottis acting as a lid
larynx
44
Shunts air into the trachea and regulatory of air flow. voice box
larynx
45
Some muscles are attached to the _______ and _______ to to adjust tension on vocal cords and pitch of vowel sound
arytenoid and corniculate
46
How many primary bronchi are there?
2
47
several secondary bronchi go into each
lobe
48
several teritary bronchi go in
segments
49
composed of superior middle, inferior lobes
right lung
50
composed of superior and inferior lobes only
left lung
51
where does gas exchange happen in respiratory tract?
brochiols
52
true or false: Pressure and volume are inversely proportional
true
53
pressure and volume have a ______ relationship
inverse
54
_____ pressure forces diaphram back up in expiration
abdominal
55
normal breath
tidal volume
56
500 ml, 10 percent of lung capacity
tidal volume
57
in order for some air for to be blood passing through the lungs between breaths we need to maintain
residual volume
58
vital capacity is
inspiratory reserve and expiratory reserve
59
air that can be forced in
inspiratory reserve
60
air that can be forced out
expiratory reserve
61
total lung capacity is
vital capacity + residual volume
62
is more work done for inspiration or expiration?
inspiration
63
True/False- IRV is much higher than ERV
True
64
Why is IRV higher than ERV
Much more work involved in IRV
65
A mixture of gases contributes to
total pressure
66
pressure contributed by each gas is
partial pressure
67
true/false- partial pressure is proportional to its concentration
true
68
Normal partial pressure of oxygen is _____ but diluts down to ____ when mixed with water vapor and old air space
160 _____ 104
69
Oxygen diffuses from high PO2 in the alveoli to lower PO2 in the capillaries is called
external respiration
70
At the tissue capillaries, oxygen diffuses from high PO2 in the capillaries to lower PO2 in the interstitial fluid. Thisiscalled
internal respiration
