Respiratory 1 Flashcards
Tidal Volume
the amount of air moved in and out of the lungs in one breath
minute ventilation
the volume of gas inhaled or exhaled fromm a persons lungs within one minute
breathing frequency
the amount of breaths you take within one minute
alveoli
the balloon like structures at the distal ends of the bronchiole tree where gas exchange occurs
partial pressure of gas
the pressure of a specific gas within a gas mixture
residual volume
the amount of air left in the lungs after full exhalation
what is internal respiration
the metabolic process that leads macronutrients to be broken down to ATP within the cell
What is external respiration
provides a transport to get O2 from the atmosphere to the mitochondria (gas exchange & transport)
what are 4 functions of the respiratory system
o2 delivery
co2 delivery
acid base balance
temperature regulation
role in immune function
ventilation
how oxygen gets to the alveoli
diffusion
how gas gets across the blood - gas barrier
blood flow
how the pulmonary circulation removes gas from the lungs
ventilation-perfusion
how matching of gas and blood determines gas exchange
gas transport
how gases are moved to the peripheral tissues
control of ventilation
how gas is exchanged
