14440808644Pulmonary VentilationMovement of air in/out of lungs0
14440808645External RespirationO2 and CO2 exchange between lungs and blood1
14440808646Internal Respiration-O2 and CO2 exchange between systemic blood vessels and tissues2
14440808647What processes are part of the respiratory systemPulmonary ventilation and external respiration3
14440808648What respiratory structures are part of the respiratory zoneMicroscopic structures-respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli4
14440808649Conducting Zoneconduits to gas exchange sites5
14440808650Functions of the noseProvides an airway for respiration Moistens and warms entering air Filters and cleans inspired air Serves as resonating chamber for speech Houses olfactory receptors6
14440808651PHiltrumshallow vertical groove inferior to apex7
14440808652Nostrilsbounded laterally by alae8
14440808653Posterior nasal apertures (choanae)Open into nasopharynx9
14440808654Nasal Vestibulenasal cavity superior to nostrils10
14440808655Hairs of the noseVibrissae11
14440808656Olfactory mucosa containsolfactory epithelium12
14440808657Respiratory MucosaPseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium Mucous and serous secretions contain lysozyme and defensins Cilia move contaminated mucus posteriorly to throat Inspired air warmed by plexuses of capillaries and veins Sensory nerve endings trigger sneezing Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium Mucous and serous secretions contain lysozyme and defensins Cilia move contaminated mucus posteriorly to throat Inspired air warmed by plexuses of capillaries and veins Sensory nerve endings trigger sneezing13
14440808658Groove inferior to each conchaNasal Meatus14
14440808659Functions of the Nasal Mucosa and ConchaeDuring inhalation, conchae and nasal mucosa Filter, heat, and moisten air During exhalation these structures Reclaim heat and moisture15
14440808660Paranasal SinusesIn frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, and maxillary bones Lighten skull; secrete mucus; help to warm and moisten air16
14440808661RhinitisInflammation of nasal mucosa17
14440808662Pharynx composition and locationMuscular tube from base of skull to C6 Connects nasal cavity and mouth to larynx and esophagus Composed of skeletal muscle Three regions Nasopharynx Oropharynx Laryngopharynx18
14440808663Isthmus of faucesOpening to oral cavity19
14440808664Daltons Law of Partial PressureDalton's law of partial pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture.20
14440808665Which form of hypoxia reflects poor O2 delivery resulting from too few RBCs or from RBCs that contain abnormal or too little hemoglobin?Anemic Hypoxia21
14440808666Which of the following is the primary factor in oxygen attachment to, or release from, hemoglobin?Partial Pressure of Oxygen22
14440808667Oxygen is unloaded where it is most needed when blood pH drops, this is a phenomenon known asThe Bohr effect23
14440808668Hypoxia can be caused by...Hyper secretion of EPO24
14440808669Steps of CO2 TransportCO2 is released from the mitochondria, diffuses into a capillary, carried to lungs, diffuses into alveolus, air exits through nose or mouth25
14440808670Which form of CO2 transport accounts for the least amount of CO2 transported in blood?Dissolved in plasma26
14440808671What is the most common method of carbon dioxide transport?As bicarbonate Ions in the plasma27
14440808672What area in the brain sets the respiratory rhythm?Ventral Respiratory Group28
14440808673Inspiratory neurons send information to the diaphragm via what nerve?Phrenic Nerve29
14440808674What directly stimulates the central chemoreceptors, thus increasing respiration?H+ Hydrogen Ions30
14440808675As a result of hyperventilation, what will happen to the partial pressures of CO2 (pCO2) and pH?Yes, pCO2 would decrease and pH would increase. As CO2 is blown off, H+ would decrease, thus increasing pH.31
14440808676Which receptors inhibit inspiration during hyperinflation of the lungs?nspiration stimulates the pulmonary stretch receptors (PSRs), which send input to the respiratory centers, inhibiting further inspiration.32
14440808677What stimulates increased respiration at the beginning of exercise?at the beginning of exercise, blood gases have not changed; thus, other factors such as anticipation of exercise contribute to the increase in respiration.33
