THE SIGNAL TRANSMITTED TO THE PRIMARY INSPIRATORY MUSCLES (DIAPHRAGM AND EXTERNAL INTERCOSTALS) IS A RAMP SIGNAL WHICH STARTS FROM 0 AND CONTINUES WITH A STEADY INCREASE FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS.   show
🗑
RAMP SIGNAL STOPS FOR 3 SECONDS AND STARTS AGAIN THUS CAUSING A STEADY INCREASE IN THE PULMONARY VOL. DURING INSP. INSTEAD OF INSPIRATORY GASPS.   show

AFTER FRESH O2 GETS TO THE ALVEOLI, THE NEXT STEP IS ITS Passive transport DIFFUSION INTO THE PULMONARY BLOOD AND CO2 IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.   show

GASES DISSOLVED IN H2O OR THE BODY TISSUES ALSO EXERT PRESSURE BECAUSE THE DISSOLVED MOLECULES ARE MOVING RANDOMLY AND HAVE KINETIC ENERGY.   show

THE PRESSURE OF A GAS IN A SOLUTION IS DETERMINED NOT ONLY BY ITS CONC. BUT ALSO BY THE SOLUBILITY COEFFICIENT OF THE GAS   show

THE PARTIAL PRESS. OF EACH GAS TENDS TO FORCE MOLECULES OF THAT GAS INTO SOLUTION, FIRST IN THE ALVEOLAR MEMB. AND THEN IN THE BLOOD OF THE ALVEOLAR CAPILLARIES.   show

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
