6612708733Ventilation is also known asBreathing1
6612708734The lower respiratory tract includesAll of the bronchial branches, lungs, and trachea2
6612708735Alveolar ventilation refers to theMvmt of air into and out of the alveoli3
6612708736The lungs are enclosed in ___ membranesPleural4
6612708737Type I alveolar cellsAllow rapid diffusion of gases through their membranes5
6612708738SurfactantHelps prevent the alveoli from escaping6
6612708739Air entering the body is filtered, warmed and humidified by theUpper respiratory tract7
6612708740If a student inhales deeplyVital capacity8
6612708741In the lungsBlood flow rate is higher and blood pressure is lower than in systemic circulation9
6612708742Histamines primary role in the respiratory sy is as aBronchoconstrictor10
6612708743Samuel suffers from cystic fibrosisThick secretions that exceed the ability of the resp track to remove them11
6612708744Breathing involves active inspiratory and expiratory mvmts calledHyperpnea12
6612708745The resp rate times the tidal volume corrected for dead space is theAlveolar ventilation13
6612708746In a condition known as pleursy theres excess flyid in pleural space. How would this affect pulmonary ventiliationBreathing would be labored and difficult14
6612708747Of the factors that influence diffusion of respiratory gases, the most variable and therefore, important factor to consider is theConcentration gradient15
6612708748The process by whixh dissolved gases are exchange btwn the blood and interstitial fluid isHypercapnia16
6612708749Lung pathology most likely to result from certain kinds of heart diseasePulmonary edema17
6612708750Most CO2 in the blood is transported asBicarbonate ion18
6612708751Most of the oxygen transported by the blood isBound to hemoglobin19
6612708752Which of the following would make the oxygen hemoglobin curve shift rightIncreased H+20
6612708753The most important chemical regulator of respiration isCarbon dioxide21
6612708754An increase in the level od CO2 in the blood willIncrease the rate of breathing22
6612708755Protective reflexes of the lungs includeCoughing and bronchoconstriction23
6612708756For maximum efficiency in loading oxygen in the lungsThe temp should be slightly lower than normal body temp24
6612708757If the neural connections btwn the pons and medulla are severedPulmonary ventilation will decrease25
