respiration during exercise Flashcards
(32 cards)
what are the three functions of the lung
remove co2
replace o2
regulation of acid-base balance
what is ventilation
mechanical process of moving air in and out of the lungs
the diaphragm is the
only muscle in body essential for life
during diffusion where does oxygen move
through the alveoli to the capillaries
during diffusion where does carbon dioxide move
through the capillaries to the alveoli then is exhaled
what is the conducting zone made up of
treachea
primary bronchus
bronchial tree
terminal bronchioles
what is the purpose of the conducting zone
gets air into the lungs
what is the respiratory zone made up of
terminal bronchiole
respiratory bronchioles
alveolar sacs
alveolus
what is the purpose of the respiratory zone
movement of gases from lungs to bloodstream and movement of gases from bloodstream into lungs
3 roles of the conducting zone
warms air, humidifies air, filters air
what is bOyLe’s Law?
the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure
if the volume of the gas in a closed container increases …
the pressure of the gas decreases
if the volume of the gas decreases …
the pressure of the gas increases
when does inspiration occur
when atmospheric pressure is greater than it is in the lungs
when does expiration occur
when pressure is greater in your lungs than in the atmosphere
how do you calculate tidal volume
minute ventilation / breathing frequency
what does airFLOW depend on
-pressure difference between 2 ends of airway
-resistance of airways
what does airway resistance depend on
diameter
what is DALTON’s law
the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressure that each gas would exert independently
partial pressure calculation
fraction of % of air X barometric pressure
when you inhale, the partial pressure of oxygen is higher in the lungs than bloodstream, therefore you get the movement of oxygen from lungs ->
into the bloodstream
the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is higher in the bloodstream, therefore you get the movement of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream ->
into the lungs
what means that you get the movement of gases from the bloodstream -> tissue and from tissue -> bloodstream
partial pressure concentration differences
at the tissues there is a low partial pressure of o2 therefore you want
the formation of deoxyghemoglobin
