7
Q

What are the tree major steps of Respiration?

A
  1. Ventilation - Moving air in and out of lungs
  2. External respiration - Gas exchange between alveoli and blood
  3. Internal respiration - Gas exchange between blood and cells
8
Q

What are the three main functions of the nose?

A
  1. Filtering, warming and moistening incoming air
  2. Detect olfactory stimuli (smell)
  3. Modifying the vibrations of speech sounds
9
Q

Another word for ‘‘Pharynx’’

A

“throat”

10
Q

Which are the three main structures of the Nose?

A
  1. External nares
  2. Nasal cavity
  3. Internal nares
11
Q

What is the structure of the pharynx?

A

Funnel-shaped(Trattformig tube from internal nares to larynx

12
Q

What is the three main regions of the Pharynx?

A
  1. Nasopharynx; - Opening to nose, Adenoids and openings of auditory (Eustachian) tubes (hörselgångar)
  2. Middle: oropharynx; opening to mouth - Palatine and lingual tonsils are here
  3. Lower: laryngeal pharynx - Connects with both esophagus(food tube) and larynx: food and air
13
Q

Another word for ‘‘auditory tubes’’

A

Eustachian

14
Q

What is the structure of the Larynx?

A

Mucous membrane of larynx forms two pairs of

folds.

15
Q

What is a Tracheostomy?

A

Tracheostomy: opening in

trachea for tube

16
Q

What is the trachea built of?

A

Lined with pseudostratified

ciliated mucous membrane

17
Q

Another word for ‘‘artificial

nose’’?

A

”Humidifier”=”artificial

nose”

18
Q

Name the 6 steps of the bronchial tree

A
Trachea ->
Main bronchi ->
Lobar bronchi ->
Segmental bronchi ->
Bronchioles ->
terminal bronchioles ->
19
Q

Name 2 specifications of the small branchioles

A
1. Have less cartilage, more
smooth muscle. In asthma,
these airways can close. 
2.  Can be bronchodilated by sympathetic nerves, epinephrine, or related
medications.
20
Q

What is the differens between right and left lung

A

Right lung has 3 lobes

Left lung has 2 lobes and cardiac notch

21
Q

The lungs are surrounded by — ?

A

surrounded by pleural membrane

22
Q

What is the outer layer of the lungs called?

A

Parietal pleura

23
Q

Which membrane surrounds the lungs?

A

Pleural membrane

24
Q

Broad bottom of lungs = —-; pointy top = —–

A

base, apex

25
Q

Alveoli is composed of three types of cells

A

Alveoli: composed of three types of cells
Type 1. Lined with thin alveolar cells (simple squamous);
sites of gas exchange
Type 2. Scattered surfactant-secreting cells. Surfactant:
- keeps alveoli from collapsing
- keeps alveoli from drying out)
Alveolar macrophages: “cleaners”

26
Q

Which are the order of substance between a Alveolus cell and Red blood cells

A
  1. Red blood cells
  2. Capillary endothelium
  3. Capillary basement
  4. Interstitial space
  5. Epithelia basement membrane
  6. Alveolar cell
27
Q

Volume and pressure are inversely related:

A

Volume and pressure are inversely related
As lung volume goes UP - alveolar pressure DOWN
As lung volume goes DOWN - alveolar pressure UP

INHALATION:
Contraction of diaphragm
lung volume UP , alveolar pressure DOWN so it is <
atmospheric pressure -> air enters lungs

Relaxation of diaphragm
lung volume DOWN, alveolar pressure DOWN so it is >
atmospheric pressure -> air leaves lungs

28
Q

What happens during Pneumothorax?

A

Pneumothorax= Lungkollaps
Vid en lungkollaps har det kommit in luft i lungsäcken, som omger lungan. Då faller själva lungan ihop helt eller delvis och du får svårt att andas. En mindre lungkollaps läker ofta av sig själv. En större lungkollaps behandlas på sjukhus.

breath. Normal ~ 500 ml

A

Volume of air that can be inhaled beyond tidal volume (TV).

31
Q

What is Expiratory reserve volume (IRV) when measuring with a spirometer?

A

Expiratory reserve volume (IRV) = volume of air

that can be exhaled beyond TV

32
Q

What is residual volume (RV) when measuring with a spirometer?
