Need to Know Ch. 23

Terms

undefined, object
copy deck
air pressure
brings air into lungs
Carbon Monoxide
bonds to hemoglobin and won't let go - causes suffocating/death
Bicarbonate, Carboaminohemoglobin, dissolved
how CO2 is carried in
Carbaminohemoglobin
carbon dioxide bonds with hemoglobin
surfactant
reduces surface tension of water
carbonic anhydrase
used to make carbonic acid (w/ CO2 and H20)
Deep inhalations
causes slow breathing, slow rate, increase oxygen, decrease carbon dioxide
surface tension
force exerted by alveoli coated with alveolar fluid
air sacs
groups of alveoli
Boyles' Law
volume of gas varies inversely with its pressure
bronchioles
branch of tertiary bronchus further dividing down to air sacs
4%
how much carbon dioxide is exhaled
Squamous epithelial
what alveoli are made of
by % (% * pressure)
how to calculate partial pressure
Henry's Law
amount of gas dissolved in liquid is proportional to partial pressure
Epiglottis
piece of cartilage that covers glottis
carbon dioxide, pH, oxygen
affect respirations chemoreceptors
molecular makeup of air
78% N, 20% O, 0.4% CO2, trace things
Glottis
opening to trachea
internal respiration
to cells
Medulla
controls respiration
Oxyhemoglobin
hemoglobin binded to oxygen
Avogadro's Law
6.02 * 10^23
sections of (the) pharynx
nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx
Epithelial Cells
lung cells most likely to become cancer
relaxation of diaphragm (recoil of tissue)
makes air leave lungs
bronchi
branches of the respiratory passageway- primary, secondary, lobar, tertiary
larynx
voice box, Adam's apple, connects to trachea
visceral pleura layer
covers lungs
Minimal Air
air left behind in air sacs
hemoglobin
carries oxygen (and some CO2)
Residual Volume
volume of air still contained in lungs after maximal exhalation (left over)
Dalton's Law
total atmosphere pressure = sum of partial pressures
Lobes of lungs
superior, inferior, middle; L side has 2 smaller, R side has 3
Alveolar sac, capillaries, basement membrane
what makes up the respiratory membrane
Charles' Law
volume changes with temperature
Tidal Air
same as Tidal volume
how altitude affects respiration
the partial pressures are lower as the altitude raises (higher = less O2)
Carbon dioxide
regulates the release of oxygen from oxyhemoglobin
Hair in nose, mucus, WBC
Removes microorganisms from the air we breathe
Emphysema
lung disorder where the alveolar wall disintegrates; caused by exposure to cigarette smoke
Vital Capacity
the most air you can exhale
high air pressure
what causes more gases put into
ciliated epithelium
removes dust (microorganisms) from air
external respiration
in alveolar sacs
Vocal Cord Tension
controls the sound coming from vocal cords
Residual Air
minimal air + a little more (same as residual volume)
Tidal Volume
volume of air breathed in and out during 1 breath (normal)
Total Lung Capacity
sum of tidal volume, residual volume, vital capacity, etc.
Effects of pH on hemoglobin
pH down- release more oxygen; pH up- less oxygen released
