25
what surrounds the lungs
a single pleural cavity lined by a serous membrane
26
what is the serous membrane that lines the pleural cavity called
pleura
27
how many types of pleura are there
partial pleura and visceral pleura
28
parietial pleura
outer membrane that attached to the inner surface of the thoracic cavity.
29
visceral pleura
covers the surface of the lungs
30
external respiration
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between interstitial fluid and the external environment and includes pulmonary ventilation (breathing)
31
internal respiration
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between interstitial fluid and cells
32
hypoxia
an absence of enough oxygen in he tissues to sustain bodily functions
33
Anoxia
form of hypoxia when the body does not get any oxygen
34
pulmonary ventilation
is the physical movement of air in and out of the respiratory track
35
decreasing the volume of a gas increases its pressure and increasing the volume of a gas decreases its pressure
boyle's law
36
primary respiratory muscles
the diaphragm and external intercostal muscle.
37
intrapulmonary pressure
the pressure inside the respiratory track
38
what determines the direction of airflow
intrapulmonary pressure and atmospheric pressure
39
intrapleural pressure
pressure in the potential space between the paritetal and visceral pleurae
40
respiratory cycle
a single cycle of inhalation and exhalation
41
tidal volume
the amount of air moved in one respiratory cycle
42
spirometer
instrument used to measure the capacity of the lungs
43
alveolar ventilation
the amount of air reaching the alveolar each min
44
vital capacity
includes the tidal volume plus the expiratory and inspiratory reserve volumes TC= TV+ERV+IRV
45
residual
the amount of air left in the lungs at the end of maximum exhalation
46
what is the role of RBC in the respiratory entering peripheral capillaries
they deliver oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide
47
respiratory centers
3 pairs of nuclei in reticular formation of the pons and medulla oblongata
48
respiratory rhythmic centers
set the pace for respiration part of the respiratory centers
49
apneustic center
sustained string inspiratory movements part of the respiratory centers
50
pneumotaxic
they inhibit the apneustic centers and promote exhalation part of the respiratory centers
51
inflation reflex
prevents overexpansion of the lungs during forced breathing
52
deflation reflex
stimulates inhalation when the lungs are collapsing
53
what can affect respirations in the respiratory centers
conscious and unconscious thought process
54
why is the respiratory system less efficient in elderly individuals
elastic deteriorates, lowering compliance and the vital capacity of the lungs, movements of the chest are restricted by arthritic changes and flexibility of costal cartilages
55
what is surfactants role
helps prevent the alveoli from collapsing
56
the hard palate separates
the nasal cavity and the oral cavity
57
air moves into the lungs because
the gas in pressure in the lungs is less than atmospheric pressure
58
the glottis closes partway through an exhalation the abdominal and internal intercoastal muscles then contract suddenly creating pressure that blast the air out of the respiratory passages this describes a
cough
59
when the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contract (breathing in)
intrapleural pressure decreases (pressure within the pleural cavity)
60
what are some ways the respiratory system helps protect
Cilia will help sweep debris away, mucus cells and glandular secretions, hair helps trap debris,
61
Functions of the nose
Provides an airway b. Moistens and warms air c. Filters air d. Assists in speech e. Contains olfactory receptors
62
. External nares (nostrils)
when air enters the nose
63
. Nasal vestibule (nasal cavity)
divided in half by the nasal septum, contains coarse hairs that extend across the external nares to trap large airborne particles, contains superior, middle, and inferior nasal concha
64
What two bones create the nasal septum
Vomer and ethmoid and highland cartilage
65
Paranasal sinuses
air spaces that open or drain into nasal cavity
66
. Sinusitis
sinus inflammation and congestion
67
What two bones create hard palate structure
Palatine (posterior) and the maxilla
68
Soft palate separates
Nasopharynx from the rest of the pharynx
69
Thyroid cartilage
largest, shield shaped Adams apple | cartilage us more anterior and lateral protects upper side of the glottis
70
Cricoid cartilage
– ring shaped inferior to thyroid cartilage offers protection to the lower side of the glottis
71
Epiglottis
leaf shaped, projects up towards the tongue made from elastic cartilage blocks off airway so food does not go into lungs and air goes down the esophagus
72
phonation
sound production
73
articulation
modifying the sound by using teeth or lips accessory structures
74
Intubation
insert a tube into pharynx and glottis to allow airflow swelling of epiglottis or crushing injury
75
Tracheostomy
insert tube into trachea and creating an airway crushing injury to where you can not intubate
76
Respiratory Bronchioles
e. Delivers air to the gas exchange surfaces of the lungs.
77
Tertiary (segmented) bronchi
a. Progressively less cartilage and more smooth muscle tissue; have a greater effect on bronchial diameter and resistance to airflow; supplies a specific region of each lung called a bronchiopulmonary segment
78
Right and left primary bronchi
c. Where trachea branches; c-shaped rings of cartilage; supplies a given lung.
79
Secondary (lobar) bronchi
f. Delivers air to each lobe of the lung.
80
Terminal Bronchioles
b. Smallest conducting branches; delivers air to single pulmonary lobule
81
Bronchioles
d. Multiple branches within a bronchiopulmonary segment
82
order of air flow throughout the bronchi and bronchioles
Right and left primary bronchi, Secondary (lobar) bronchi, Tertiary (segmented) bronchi , Bronchioles, Terminal Bronchioles, Respiratory Bronchioles
83
What general changes occur as you move through the conducting zone
Air decreases because the diameter is getting smaller the cartilage gets smaller as well. As we go further down we will see more smooth muscle tissue as we get into the lungs for broncho dilation and constriction
84
Asthma
spontaneous changes in the diameter of the brochole they are being constricted could be an allergen or random response from body use inhaler which is a steroid to help constriction
85
Alveolar Ducts
passageways that are going to connecting the respiratory bronchiole to alveoli
86
Alveoli
Sacs opening that is connect all the single alveoli together this is where gas exchange happens Covered with capillary network, elastic fibers, smooth muscle
87
Respiratory distress syndrome
inadequate amounts of surfactant oils being produced
88
Pneumonia
inflammation in the lungs that fluid starts filling up the lungs decrease in gas exchange
89
hilus
groove along the medial surface of the lung
90
root
connective tissue to anchor vessels in
91
cardiac notch
area to make room for the heart
92
Pulmonary capillary network
capillary endothelial cells produce ACE
93
Bronchial Arteries and Veins
provide oxygen and nutrients to conducting tissues
94
Pulmonary embolism
blockage of branch from pulmonary artery wont have gas exchange in the lung
95
Pleurisy
inflammation pleural effusion production of more fluid than necessary this prevents the lung from expanding the way it should
96
b. Forced Breathing (hyperpnea)
breathing in and breathing out pushing air out
97
Quiet Breathing
passive
98
Pneumothorax
injury to chest wall where there is a puncture in the plural cavity and the lung will collapse why we have two plural cavities
99
c. Minute Respiratory Volume
amount of air moved each minute number of breaths per min x tidal volume 12x500=6000
100
. Alveolar Ventilation Rate
amount of air that actually reaches the alveoli | breaths per min-anatomical dead space 12x500-150=4200
