Question 1: what is the above the trachea
Answer:
the larynx
Question 2: do the moist pleural membranes help expand or deflate the lungs
Answer:
expand Question 3: larynx: def; houses the what;
Answer:
an enlargement in the airway superior to the trachea and inferior to the pharynx composed of muscles cartilage bound by elastic tissue; vocal cords Question 4: bronchial tree: as the tube becomes smaller what changes in the cells that line the tube
Answer:
from pseudostratisfied ciliated epithelium with goblet cells to simple squamous epithelium closely associated with a dense network of capillaries
Question 5: what is the most important CO2 transport mechanism
Answer:
bicorbonate ions
Question 6: surfactant reduces the tendency of ____ to collapse
Answer:
alveoli Question 7: expiration: why is it considered passive
Answer:
b/c the normal resting expiration occurs without the contraction of muscles Question 8: pneumotaxic area: sends impulses where ; what happens when the impulses are strong; what happens if the impulses are slow
Answer:
to the dorsal group to regulate breathing rate; inspiratory bursts are shorter to speed up breathing; breath rate slows
Question 9: does oxygen play a major role in respiration
Answer:
no
Question 10: what structure is shared with the digestive system
Answer:
the pharynx Question 11: bronchial tree: the intralobular bronchi branch to what
Answer:
terminal broncials
Question 12: the bronchial tree leads from the trachea to where
Answer:
the alveolar sacs
Question 13: what is the atmospheric pressure at sea level e
Answer:
760 mm of mercury Question 14: CO2 reacts with water to form what; what enzyme speeds up the reaction between CO2 and water ; so CO2 is carried in the blood to the lungs as what
Answer:
carbonic acid; carbonic anhydrase; HCO3
Question 15: why does blood flowing through the capillaries gain carbon dioxide
Answer:
b/c the tissues have high PCO2 Question 16: what 3 things increases the amount that of O2 that a\xyhemoglobin releases; this explains what during exercise
Answer:
concentration of carbon dioxide; acidity; and temp; why more o2 is released from blood during exercise Question 17: bronchial tree: terminal bronchials branch to what
Answer:
respiratory bronchioles Question 18: glottis: what happens to it when food it swallowed
Answer:
the muscles close the glottis within the false vocal folds, this prevents food from entering the trachea
Question 19: what binds more tightly and readily to hemoglobin than O2
Answer:
Carbon monoxide Question 20: nonrespiratory air movements: def of laughing ; similar to what
Answer:
a person takes a breath and releases it in a series of short expirations; crying
Question 21: lungs: what one is larger ; name the 3 parts of the right lung; name the left lung
Answer:
the right lung; superior, middle, inferior; superior and inferior Question 22: alveolar ventilation: def; calculated by what ; ex
Answer:
this is the amount of air that reaches the alveoli for gas exchange; the physiologic deaf space - tidal volume X breaths per minute; (150-500=350 x 12= 4200 mL/minute Question 23: nonrespiratory air movements: def of yawning
Answer:
cause unknown, reason unknwon
Question 24: expiration is caused by what
Answer:
the elastic recoil of the tissues Question 25: surfactant: what is it ; this prevents the air sacs from what; with out the surfactant what could happen to air sacs
Answer:
the lipoprotein secreted by alveolar cells; collapsing during inhalation; the pleural membranes could collapse the air sacs Question 26: diffusion in resp. mem: why is the net movement of CO2 from the blood to the alveolus; why is the net movement of oxygen to the blood
Answer:
blood from body to lungs has PO2 of 45 mm and PC02 in alveolus is 40 so co2 goes to alveolus; onxygen has po2 40 in blood and p02 104 in alveolus so movement is to blood Question 27: trachea: what do the cartilage rings do ; what does the soft tissue between the rings allow for
Answer:
the prevent the trachea from collapsing and blocking the airway; allow the posterior esophagus expand as food moves through to the stomach
