Q

Movement of air into and out of lungs

20
Q

Elastic fibers in the alveolar walls

A

Elastic recoil

21
Q

What reduces the tendency of lungs to collapse by reducing surface tension

A

Surfactant produced by type 2 pneumocytes

22
Q

Opening between pleural cavity and air that cause a loss of pleural pressure

23
Q

What can cause alveoli to expand

A

Negative pressure

24
Q

What is important in the diffusion of gases through respiratory membrane

A
  • membrane thickness
  • diffusion coefficient
  • surface area
  • partial pressure differences
25
Where does oxygen diffuse to in pulmonary capillaries
Arterial ends
26
Where does CO2 diffuse into during respiration
Alveoli
27
Nephron parts
``` Boneless capsule Pct Duct Collecting duct Capillary duct Minor calyx Major calyx Ureter ```
28
Liver functions
Store iron and glycogen Detoxification Inner conversion chemist Bile production - emulsifiers fats
29
Part of lung adherent to it
Visceral pleura
30
Part of lung adherent tp thoracic wall
Parietal pleura
31
Acts as lubricant and helps two membranes close together
Pleural fluid
32
Central region of body except for lungs
Mediastinum
33
    Pressure and volume are respective at a certain temperature
Boyle’s law
34
If barometric pressure Is greater than alveolar pressure, air flows into alveoli
D
35
What exhibits the end of expiration
When the pressure in alveoli is 0
36
Explain boyles law in respect to breathing
Pressure equals a constant temperature over volume At the end of expiration, the diaphragm is relaxed and the alveoli pressure is at zero because there is no air movement. During inspiration, the volume of the lungs increase, causing the alvoli pressure to be at -1. At the end, there is no air movement again causing the pressure tp go back down to one, and when expiration begins, the lungs contract which then increases the alvoli pressure to go up to +1
37
The ease at which lungs expand
Compliance
38
Air that is breathed In and out total
Tidal volume
39
Total pressure os the sum of each invidivual pressures of each gas
Dalton law
40
Concentrations of a gas in a liquid is determined by its partial pressure and solubility coefficient
Henrys law
41
Principles of gas exchange
Membrane thickness Diffusion coefficient of gas Surface area Partial pressure differences
42
Blood that is not completely oxygenated
Shunted blood
43
