A

Thyroid Cartilage

Epiglottic Cartilage

Cricoid Cartilage

1
Q

Define vital capacity and its equation

A

Vital Capacity: the maximum amount of
air that can be exhaled after a maximum
inhalation.

Vital Capacital = Tidal Volume + Insperatory Reserve Volume + External Reserve Volume
4600 ml

1
Q

What happens during expiration?

A

The diaphragm relaxes and pushes upward.
External intercostals relax and thoracic cavity is depressed.
Lung volume decreases.

Decreased lung volume, increases pressure in the lungs.
The pressure is now higher in the alveoli than the atmospheric pressure.
Therefore, air rushes out of the alveoli into the external environment.

1
Q

What are the two types of vocal cords?

A

False vocal cords that do not involve sound production

True vocal cords are reponsible for sound.

1
Q

During the transport of gases, what happens to Oxygen?

A

Oxygen Binds with hemoglobin to in red blood cells to form oxyhemoglobin.

This forms a weak bond so oxygen can be delivered to tissues.

2
Q

Define pulmonary ventilation and its components.

A

Involes two actions inspiraton and expiration and moving air in and out of the lungs.

bronchial arteries off the thoracic aorta

3
Q

What does Carbon Monoixed do in the body?

A

Carbon Monoxide (CO) – binds to hemoglobin more efficiently than oxygen.

If hemoglobin is bound to CO, much less is available to bind and transport oxygen to the tissues, resulting in Hypoxia.

4
Q

Define Boyles Law

A
  • The volume of a gas is inversely

proportional to its pressure.

decreases and vice versa.

Specifically, pseudostratified columnar ET in the trachea.

13
Q

What is the role of pleural membranes in inspiration.?

A

Plaural membranes aid in inspiration.

Serous fluid located between the
membranes have a very large surface
tension, causing the membranes to act
as one.

15
Q

What is the chemical formula for external respiraton?

A

H+ + HCO3 to H2CO3to CO2 + H2O

16
Q

What is the chemical formula for internal respiration?

A

CO2 + H2O -> H2CO3 which eventually turns into:

H+ + HCO3- (bicarbonate ion)

17
Q

What does carbonic anhydrase do?

A

Carbonic anhydrase dissociates bicaronate ion and hydrogen ion from carbonic acird. Which is produced from carbon dioxide combining with water. The carbon dioxide is produced from cellular respiration.

18
Q

Define cellular respiration and its affect on respiration.

A

Process of oxygen utilization and carbon dioxide production.

19
Q

What is the funcation of aveloar capillary membranes?

A

This structure allows for rapid diffusion of gases from high concentration to low concentration…down the gradient.

20
Q

During the transport of gases, carbon monoxide (CO) binds to what?

A

binds to hemoglobin more efficiently than oxygen

 If hemoglobin is bound to CO, much less is available to bind and transport oxygen to the tissues, resulting in Hypoxia.

22
Q

What is the Glottis?

A

A small opening between the vocal cords.

22
Q

What is serous fluid and where is it found?

A

Serous fluid located between the pleural and visceral membranes have a very large surface tension, causing the membranes to act as one.

24
Q

Define Type I alveolar.

A

Predominant type.
Form a continuous simple squamous lining of the alveolar wall.

Main site of external respiration.

26
Q

What happens to gas concentrations when you hyperventilate and what do they cause?

A

 Low carbon dioxide concentration, causes reduced blood flow to the brain,causing lightheadedness

 Breathing into a paper bag normalizes gas concentrations

27
Q

Define hiccup

A

spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm.

29
Q

What are the factors that influence breathing?

A
  • Stretch of tissues
  • Low blood oxygen
  • High blood carbon dioxide
  • Low pH
  • Other: temperature, pain, emotional state.
30

38
Q

What are the four events associated with respiration?

A

A

Diaphragm muscle pushes downward.

Contraction of the external intercostal muscles expand the thoracic cavity.

The increased size of the thoracic cavity increases the volume

Pressure in the thoracic cavity decreases to 758 mmHg.
