RESPIRATORY SYSTEM Flashcards
(103 cards)
- involves chemical and physical processes by which an
organism exchanges gasses with the environment - osmotic and chemical process
Respiration
also called breathing, refers to the process of air flow into the lungs during
inhalation (inspiration) and out of the lungs during exhalation (expiration)
pulmonary ventilation
refers to the movement of air in and out of the alveoli
Alveolar ventilation
brought by cellular respiration that
involves metabolic reactions such converting chemical energy from oxygen
or nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), then release of waste
products
oxygen utilization
- (oxygen and carbon dioxide) across a membrane in
the lungs - oxygen diffuses from the air capillaries into the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood into the air capillaries
gas exchanges
involving ventilation and gas
exchange in the lungs
external respiration
gas exchange between
the blood and other tissues.
internal respiration
structures of respiratory system (7)
- nasal cavity
- pharynx
- larynx
- trachea
- bronchi
- bronchioles
- pulmonary alveoli
division based on location (2)
- upper respiratory
- lower respiratory
includes nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx
upper respiratory
includes trachea and lungs
lower respiratory
division based on function (2)
- conducting divisions
- respiratory division
includes nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles
conducting divisions
includes respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and sacs, and pulmonary alveoli
respiratory division
envelope the lungs and form vacuum chambers around the lungs
two pleural sacs
including associated muscles
thoracic cage
a dome-shaped muscle located below the lungs, and separate the thoracic and abdominal cavities
diaphragm
thoracic volume ______ during inspiration and ______ during expiration
increasing - decreasing
occur when more air is needed than movement of the diaphragm produces
costal or thoracic breathing
occurs during ordinary quiet breathing
abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing
refers to a normal quiet respiration
eupnea
refers to difficulty in breathing
dyspnea
refers to absence or cessation of respiration
apnea
refers to increased dept or rate of breathing or both
hyperpnea
