respitory system 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Respiration | oxygen is obtained from environment and delivered to cells. C02 transported outside in reverse order |
Pulmonary ventilation | phase of respiration. Exchange of air between atmosphere and Aveoli (air sacs) |
External exchange of gases (diffusion) | 02 from air sacs to blood. C02 from blood to air sacs. |
Diffusion | partical gases from high concentration to low. |
Internal exchange of gases | Transport of O2 to cells and C02 away from cells by way of circulating blood |
Cellular respiration | O2 into cells used to break down nutrients and release energy. |
Cellular respiration (Co2) | released as waste product. |
Respiratory regulation controls | Nervous and Chemical controls |
Nervous control | located in medulla and pons of brain stem |
Medulla | regulates pattern of respiration |
Pons | normalizes levels of O2 and Co2 |
Medulla travels to | Motor nerve fibers |
Motor nerve fibers go to | Spinal Chord |
Spinal Chord goes to | Phrenic nerve |
Phrenic nerve does what? | Regulates diaphram |
chemical control receptors are found in? | Carotid and aortic bodies |
Chemical control responds to? | increase Co2 and decrease O2 |
The more CO2 we have the more we want to... | Breathe |
The less CO2 we have the less we want to | Breathe |
Adult resp. Rate | 12-20 |
Child RR | 20-40 |
Infant RR | 40-60 |
