The vessel leaving the heart with deoxygenated blood going to the lungs is the
pulmonary artery
Which of the following is defined as normal quiet breathing?
Tidal volume
What contains the olfactory mucosa?
nasal cavity
The relaxation (repolarization) of the ventricles of the heart is shown as what part of an ECG readout?
t wave
A heart attack results from
a blockage in one of the blood vessels feeding the heart muscle
What portion of the heart's electrical system has the fastest electrical signal?
purkinje fibers
What is the pacemaker of the heart?
SA node
The second chamber in the heart to receive oxygenated blood is the
left ventricle
The brain area that provides the basic breathing rhythm is called the
respiratory center
Name the parts of the heart's electrical system
1. SA Node
2. AV Node
3. Bundle Branches
4. Purkinje Fibers
What gives us our sense of smell?
olfactory receptors
Not supposed to get anything except air in. Thin layer
Nasopharynx
Food, drink, and air. Thick layer, same lining as inside of mouth
Oropharynx and Laryngopharynx
2 Phases of breathing
1. Inspiration - air flows into the lungs
2. Expiration - air flows out of the lungs
Hole in chest wall, causes lung to collapse
Pneumothorax
If airway resistance rises, __________ _________ becomes more strenuous.
breathing movements
Severely constricted or obstructed bronchioles:
1. Can prevent life-sustaining ventilation
2. Can occur during acute asthma attacks, which stops ventilation
Epinephrine release via the sympathetic nervous system
dilates bronchioles and reduces air resistance
Tidal Volume
Air that moves into and out of the lungs with each breath
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
Air that can be inspired forcibly beyond the tidal volume
Expiratory Reserve Volume
Air that can be evacuated from the lungs after a tidal expiration
Vital Capacity
The total amount of exchangeable air
Nonrespiratory Air Movements
Most result from reflex action. Coughing, sneezing, crying, laughing, hiccuping, and yawning.
The master controlling and communicating system of the body
Nervous System
Interpretation of sensory input
Integration
Response to stimuli by activating effector organs
Motor output
