Question | Answer |
---|---|
Primary function of Respirtory System? | Gas exchange 02 to tissue removal CO2, defend against infection, snythesis of surfactant premitting expansion of lungs. |
Thorax consists of what? | Lungs & Mediastinum which includes the heart and major blood vessels. Sternum, 12 ribs and Diaphram muscle that seperates thoraic cavity from abdominal cavity. |
Visceral Pleura: | Layer attached directely to lung |
Parietal Pluera: | Layer attached directely to the thoracic wall, daphragm and mediastinum. |
Pleural Space: | Space between visceral and parietal pleura. |
Purpose of Nasal Cavity? | Warms, and filter air. |
Pharynx: | Nasopharynx is air passage above the soft palate, rises to black the nasopharynx during swallowing. |
Oropharynx: | Behind oral cavity and is for both air and food passage. |
laryngopharynx: | Both air and food passage opens anteriorly into the larynx and posterior to the esophagus. |
Epiglottis: | Covers Larynx during swallowing to prevent aspiration of food. |
Trachea: | Sits in front of the espphagus and has 16-20 C shaped cartilage rings opened to posterior. |
Bronchi | R & L mainstem bronchi split at the carina Ring shorter and wider, more aspiration in right lung than left, Bronchi branches to bronchioles. |
Respiratory Muscosa | Is composed of epithelium, cillia trap dirt & debris, under layer is smooth muscle. |
What can paralyze the cilia? | Smoking, alcohol, anesthesia, high O2, dyhedration and infection. |
Alveoli | Air sacs for gas exchange, 300 million, surrounded by pulmonary capillaries for 02 and C02 gas exchange |
Surfactant | Secreted by type II aveolli cells and prevents aveolar collape on expriation, decrease surface tension permitting inflation. |
Macrophages | withing the alveoli destroy bacterial & foreign particles. |
Interstition | Wall between alveoli, have elastic and collagen fibers which allow for the expansion and contration lung compliance. |
Intrathoraic pressure: | Is always NEGATIVE, allows for ventilation. |
Inspiration: | The active phase of ventialation the diaphragm contracts, flattens and moves downward increasing the thoraic cage increasing chest volume and increasing negative pressure moving air into the lungs. |
Expiration: | Normally pasive as muscle relax lungs recoil decreasing volume as he diaphragm elevates. |
Respiratory Centers: | Medulla oblongata cntral chemoreceptors, normally sensitive to carbon dioxide and hydrogen ion concentrations in the CSF. |
Increases in CO2 or H ions: | Increases ventilation or increased RR |
What is the stimulus to breath? | CO2 Level. |
Peripheral chemoreceptors located in carotid and aortic bodies are stimulated when? | When 02 is decreased, creating back up system especially for patient with respiratory disease especially *COPD*. |
Respiration gas exchange done via? | Diffusion |
Gas is transfered two ways? | 02 combined with HgB in the RBC's & dissolved in plasma. |
