1
normal quiet breathing moves approximately _ of air into and out of the lungs with each breath.
500 ml
2
respiratory volume is called
tidal volume (TV)
3
the amount of air that can be taken in forcibly above the tidal volume is the _, which is around _
inspiratory reserve volume (IRV);3100 ml
4
the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled beyond tidal expiration is called _, and is approximately _
expiratory reserve volume (ERV);1200 ml
5
about 1,200 ml of air still remains in the lungs and can not be expelled. it is important because it allows gas exchange to go on continuously even between breaths and helps to keep the alveoli open
reserved volume
6
respiratory capacities are measured with
spirometer
7
result of reflex activity, but some may be produced voluntarily
nonrespiratory air movements
8
nonrespiratory air movements CSCLHY
cough
sneeze
crying
laughing
hiccup
yawn
9
taking a deep breath, closing glottis, and forcing air superiorly from lungs against glottis. then, glottis opens suddenly, and a blast of air rushes upward. it acts to clear the LOWER respiratory passageways.
cough
10
expelled air is directed through nasal cavities. the uvula becomes depressed and closes oral cavity off from pharynx, routing air through nasal cavities. it clear UPPER respiratory passageways.
sneeze
11
a dangling tag of tissue hanging from the soft palate
uvula
12
inspiration followed by release of air in a number of short expirations. primarily an emotionally induced mechanism
crying
13
essentially same as crying in terms of air movements produced. also an emotionally induced response
laughing
14
sudden inspirations resulting from spasms of diaphragm; initiated by irritation of diaphragm or phrenic nerves, which serve diaphragm. the sound occurs when inspired air hits vocal folds of closed glottis
hiccups
15
very deep inspiration, take with jaws wide open; ventilates all alveoli
yawn
16
respiratory tree produces two recognizable sounds that can be picked up with a _
stethoscope
17
produced by air rushing through the large respiratory passageways (trachea and bronchi)
bronchial sounds
18
occurs as air fills the alveoli, are soft murmurs that resemble a muffled breeze
vesicular breathing sounds
19
bubbling sound
crackle
20
whistling sound
wheezing
21
in _, blood delivers oxygen to body tissues and picks up carbon dioxide
systemic circuit
22
most oxygen attaches to hemoglobin molecules inside the rbc to form _
oxyhemoglobin (HbO2)
23
CO2 is _ more soluble in plasma compared to oxygen
20 times
24
most cO2 is transported in plasma as _, which plays very important role in buffering blood pH.
bicarbonate ion (HCO3)
25
inadequate oxygen delivery to body tissues is called _
hypoxia
26
is odorless, colorless gas that competes vigorously with oxygen for the same binding sites on hemoglobin
carbon monoxide (CO)
27
hemoglobin binds to CO more readily than to oxygen, carbon monoxide is a very successful competitor - so much so that it crowds out or displaces oxygen
carbon monoxide poisoning
28
is a leading cause of death from fire
carbon monoxide poisoning
