Cards

Term
Respiration
Definition
the process involved in supplying the body with oxygen and disposing of carbon dioxide
Term
Pharynx
Definition
connects nasal and oral cavities; respiratory functions in breathing. digestive functions in chewing and swallowing
Term
Larynx
Definition
voice box; prevents food from entering the trachea and lungs, permits passage of air into othe lungs, production of sounds
Term
Trachea
Definition
Wind pipe, made of hyaline cartilage which allows for the expansion of the esophagus when food is swallowed. provides structural support
Term
Bronchi
Definition
Divisions from the trachea
Term
Respiratory bronchioles
Definition
first portion of the airways that can be involved in gas exchange
Term
Alveolar duct
Definition
leads into alveolar sacs
Term
Alveoli (type I and II) and air sac
Definition
"ballons" where gas exchange takes place
Type I= gas exchange cells
Type II= surfactant secreting cells
Term
Right Lung
Definition
Biggest, made of 3 lobes; superior, middle, inferior
Term
left lung
Definition
smaller, has cardiac notch where heart is located, 2 lobes; superior and inferior
Term
Pleaurae membrane
Definition
tough membrane-like sac that surrounds the lungs
Term
Surfactant
Definition
decreases surface tension of water
Term
What are the different phases of ventilation?
Definition
Inspiration= bringing of gas into the body

Excpiration= removal of gas from body
Term
What muscles are associated with inspiration?
Definition
Diaphram
External intercostals
Pectoralis minor
Sternocleitoimastoid
Scalenes
Term
What muscles are associated with expiration?
Definition
Abdominal muscles
Internal intercostals
Term
What is the difference between static and dynamc pulmonary function tests?
Definition
Static= measures volume and capacity of lungs (amount of air in lungs)

Dynamic= measures air flow/ flow rates, (how quickly you can move air)
Term
Obstructive respiratory disease
Definition
takes a long it takes to get air out of the lungs, (TIME difficiency)

bronchitis
Term
Restrictive respiratory disease
Definition
causes incomplete lung expansion, AMOUNT of air difficency
Term
Ventilation
Definition
the mechanical act to bring air in and out of the lungs
Term
Internal Respiration
Definition
Exchange of gases between the blood and tissue fluid and between tissue fluid and cells
Term
External respiration
Definition
Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveiolar space and pulmonary capillary bed
Term
Alveolar
Definition
,easures the amount of fresh air that flows in and out of aveoli
Term
Dead space
Definition
air that fills space in the respiratory system but does not participate in gas exchange
Term
Minute ventilation
Definition
the total amount of gas that flows into or out of the respiratory tract in one minute
Term
Tidal volume
Definition
amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under resting conditions
Term
Respiratory frequency
Definition
number of breaths per minute at resting conditions
Term
Hemoglobin
Definition
oxygen transporting protein of Red blood cell
Term
How is oxygen trasported throughout the body?
Definition
Through hemoglobin in red blood cells
Term
How does deep breathing affect alveolar ventilation?
Definition
it increases alveolar ventilation and decreases dead space
Term
cilated epithelial
Definition
a cell that has cilia
Term
Flexability allows the thorax to increase by how much?
Definition
20-25%
Term
The three respiratory functions
Definition
Ventilation
Gas exchange
Oxygen utilization
Term
Diaphramitic fatigue syndrome
Definition
the muscle becomes very weak or fails so the accessory muscles take over
Term
What are the predictors of lung volume?
Definition
Gender
Height
Age
Term
Pleura
Definition
produce lubricating fluid and compartmentalize lungs
Term
Terminal bronchioles
Definition
passageways the represent the final portion of the conducting division of the respiratory system
Term
Total lung capacity
Definition
maximum amont of air contained in the lungs after a maximum inspiratory effort
Term
Inspiratory capacity
Definition
maximum amount of air that can be inspired after a normal expiration
Term
Tidal volume
Definition
amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under resting conditions
Term
Residual volume
Definition
amount of air remaining in the lungs after a forced exhalation
Term
Expiratory reserve volume
Definition
amount of air that can be forefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation
Term
Vital capacity
Definition
maximum amount of air that can be expired after a mzimum inspiratory effort
Term
Inspiratory reserve volume
Definition
amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal tidal volume inhalation
Term
Functional residual volume
Definition
volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal tidal volume expiration
Term
Breathing rate
Definition
the total number of of inspiratory/ expiratory breathing cycles furing a minute time frame
Term
During exercise, pulmonary minute ventilation increases due to
Definition
increased respiratory rate and tidal volume
Term
Carbohydrate digestion begins in the what and ends in the what
Definition
begins= mouth
ends= small intestine
Term
Lipid digestion begins in the what and ends in the what
Definition
begins= large intestine
ends= small intestine
Term
Protein digestion begins where and ends where?
Definition
Begins= stomach
Ends= small intestine
Term
Tongue
Definition
composed of interlacing bundles of skeletal muscle fibers and during chewing it grips the food and constantly repositions it between the teeth
Term
Taste buds
Definition
allow for the organism to taste food flavors
Term
Papillae
Definition
peg like projections of the underlying mucosa
Term
Salivary ducts
Definition
carry saliva from salivary glands to the mouth
Term
Esophagus
Definition
muscular tube extending from the laryngopharynx through the diaphragm to join the stomach; collapses when not involved in food propulsion
Term
Chyme
Definition
, creamy mass consisting of partially digested food and gastric juice
Term
Fundus
Definition
dome shaped paret tucked beneath the diaphragm that bulges superolaterally to the cardia (stomach)
Term
Deglutition
Definition
swallowing
Term
Peristalsis
Definition
progressive, wavelike contractions that move foodstuffs through the alimentary tube organs
Term
The three functions of the respiratory system are
Definition
Ventilation
Gas exchange
Oxygen utilization
