(58 cards)
what is the name of the protein within red blood cells, that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body
Haemoglobin
in terms of the respiratory system, ventilation is the process of
moving air between the environment and via inhalation and exhalation
respiratory system conducts ___, ____, ____air into close proximity with blood for ___ ____
warm, moist, clean , for gas exchange
If someone increase the rate and depth of breathing it is
Hyperventilation
Extra = HypEr
if someone decrease (shallow) the rate and depth of breathing
hypoventilation
(lOW) = (hypO = (shallOw)
Tidal volume
air moves in and out normal ventilation
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
extra 3L can be inspired if external intecoastal muscle and accessory muscle for MAX inspiration
In IRV what muscles help this max Inspiration
External inter-coastal and accessory muscles
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
extra 1.5L if INTERNAL inter-coastal and accessory muscle contracted for max expiration
What muscle are involved in ERV
INTERNAL interncoastal + diaphragm
accessory muscles (during force expiration
what is residual volume
left over inflation even after max expiration
What makes up vital capacity
Expiratory reserve volume +tidal volum + inspiratory reserve volume
total lung capacity (TLC) - made up of
Vital capacity + residual volume
what is Inspiratory capacity (IC) made up of
tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume
functional residual capacity (FRC) made up of
residual volume + Expiratory reserve volume
what is the function of the nasal cavity
clean, warm, humidify
does food and air both pass through the oral cavity
yes
does food and air both pass through the pharynx
Yes
what is the function of the laynx
vocal box, epiglottis prevents food entering trachea
what is the trachea function
rigid tube that is a pathway for air
what is the function for Bronchioles
deliver air to alveoli ducts
what is the function of Alveoli ducts
deliver air to alveoli
in the lower respiratory tract where are carbon dioxide and oxygen exchanged
alveoli
_____ has a bigger gradient than ______
