25
alveoli
tiny cluster of sacs at end of bronchioles that r one cell thick for gas diffusion n site of gas exchange
26
what are alveoli surrounded by
capillaries and lined with lubricating film
27
diffusion of gases from alveoli
o2 breathed in moves from within alveoli to the capillaries and co2 goes from capillaries to alveoli to breath out
28
Alveoli during exhalation
alveoli collapse , membranes touch and dont stick together due to protein called lipoprotein
29
lipoprotein
the protein that stops alveoli from touching during exhalation
30
pleural membrane
fine layer of fluid between lungs and ribs to prevent friction during inhalation
31
how is movement of air determined
pressure différence between the atmosphere and chest cavity deteriorated the movement of air from high to low
32
inhalation occurs when -
- the pressure in the lungs is lower than atmospheric pressure
33
Exhalation occurs when -
-the pressure in the lungs is higher than atmospheric pressure
34
Diaphragm
dome shaped muscle that separates thorax from abdomen organs and regulates the pressure in lungs with assistance from intercostal muscles
35
intercostal muscle
muscles between ribs that help diaphragm regulate pressure in lungs
36
pressure and volume relationship
as volume increases pressure decreases vice versa
37
during inhalation diaphragm-
contracts pulling downwards and intercostal muscles contract pulling ribs up n down
38
during inhalation volume n pressure relationship in thoracic n lungs
thoracic volume increases>thoracic pressure decreases lung volume increases >lung pressure decreases
39
during inhalation what causes air to rush in
higher pressure in enviro than lungs
40
where is the diaphragm
inside chest cavity
41
during exhalation diaphragm, pressure n volume
relaxes (dome shaped) pulling upward and thoracic pressure increases, lung volume decreases pressure in lungs increases
42
Tidal volume
volume of air that is inhaled and exhaled in normal breath
43
inspiratory reserve volume
additional volume of air that can be taken in lungs beyond reg inhalation
44
expiratory reserve volume
the additional volume of air that can be forced out of lungs beyond regular exhalation
45
vital capacity
the total volume of gas that can be moved into or out of lungs (tidal volume + inspiratory reserve + expiratory reserve)
46
residual volume
the amount of gas that remains in the lungs after full exhale
47
pneumothorax
collapsed lung where air leaks between chest wall n lung which pushes on outside of lung causing it ti collapse
48
daltons law
each gas in a mixture exerts its own pressure (partial pressure
49
gas laws
gasses will diffuse from areas of high partial pressure to low partial pressure
50
external respiration dose what
enriches the blood with 02
51
what causes 02 to diffuse out of air in the lungs into the bloodstream
air breathed into lungs has higher partial pressure of O2 than the blood in pulmonary capillaries
52
external respiration of CO2 dose what
allows waste of carbon dioxide to be breathed out and remove from your body
53
how external respiration works
blood flowing to pulmonary capillaries has higher partial pressure of CO2 than air in lungs causing CO2 to diffuse out if blood into alveoli and be breathed out
54
internal respiration
CO2 and O2 are exchanged between capillaries and alveoli where the blood in capillaries goes back to the heart and tissue, cells
55
O2 transport in blood
99% of O2 transported on a molecule called hemoglobin only in red blood cells and rest is dissolved in blood plasma
56
Components of blood
55% Plasma 44% red blood cells and 1% platelets and white blood cells
57
Plasma components
water, ions, proteins, nutrients, wastes and gasses
58
CO2 transport in the blood
23% carried by hemoglobin, 7% carried in plasma and 70% combines with water and forms carbonic acid
59
carbonic acid is _____ and almost immediately dissociates into _______ and ______
very unstable, Bicarbonate ions and hydrigen ions
60
medulla oblongata
nerves in brain that control breathing movement
61
what activate medulla oblongata
high CO2 chemoreceptors activate medulla oblongata to send messages ti intercostal muscles and diaphragm to increase breathing
62
as CO2 levels fall chemoreceptors become _______
inactive
63
response to exercise
ventilation can increase 20x with heavy exercise
64
important factors that increase ventilation
decreased 02 increased CO2 and H
65
Blood doping dose what
increases amount of hemoglobin in bloodstream which allows higher amounts of oxygen ti reach and fuel athletes muscles
66
hemoglobin
oxygen carrying protein in the blood
67
whar is improved by allowing higher amounts of oxygen ti reach and fuel muscles
stamina and performance in long distance events
68
Altitude and training
high altitude lower atmospheric pressure which makes it difficult ti get O2 in our blood and causes red blood cells to counter lower oxygene saturation in blood
69
Laryngitis
inflammation on the larynx due to viral infection or over stranibg voice
70
Pneumonia
disease that iccurs when alveoli become inflamed and fill with liquid
71
Bronchitis
bronchi become inflamed and filled with mucus
72
Emphysema
walls of alveoli loose elasticity making exhalation difficult
73
Asthma
constant inflammation in airways
74
Cyst fibrosis
genetic condition that effects lungs that disrupts the function of cells lining in passageway to lungs
75
Lung cancer
uncontrolled and invasive growth of cells in lungs
