lung collapse due to
– Plugged bronchioles, which cause collapse of alveoli is called
atelectasis
The pressure in the alveoli is known as _______.
a) intrapulmonary pressure
b) intrapleural pressure
c) transpulmonary pressure
d) atmospheric pressure
a
______ is caused by a transpulmonary pressure of zero
or greater.
a) A pneumothorax
b) Inspiration
c) Apnea
d) Hyperpnea
a
Air moves into the lungs during inspiration due to the
force of _______.
a) the diaphragm
b) the abdominal muscles
c) atmospheric pressure
d) the external intercostal muscles
c
body’s detergent-like lipid and protein complex that helps reduce
surface tension of alveolar fluid
surfactant
Insufficient quantity of surfactant in premature infants causes
infant respiratory distress syndrome
measure of change in lung volume that occurs with given
change in transpulmonary pressure
lung compliance
During an asthma attack, bronchioles become severely
_______. Taking epinephrine causes them to _______.
a) constricted; dilate
b) dilated; constrict
c) mucus-filled; empty of mucus
d) both a and c
a
Infant respiratory distress syndrome occurs because
premature infants lack the ability to produce _______,
which _______.
a) mucus; traps bacteria
b) cilia; clear mucus from the trachea
c) surfactant; lowers surface tension
d) alveoli; causes them to become hypoxic
c
air that remains in passageways
anatomical dead space
space occupied by nonfunctional alveoli; be due to collapse or obstruction
alveolar dead space
increased airway resistance (example:
bronchitis)
obstructive pulmonary disease
total amount of gas that flows into or out of respiratory tract in 1
minute
minute ventilation
low of gases into and out of alveoli during a particular
time
alveolar ventilation
The typical volume of air involved in alveolar ventilation
is _______ ml.
a) 150
b) 350
c) 500
d) 4800
d
Which of the following is true?
a) Chronic bronchitis is a restrictive disease.
b) Tuberculosis is an obstructive pulmonary disease.
c) TLC increases for restrictive diseases.
d) RV increases with obstructive diseases
d
Even the most forceful exhalation leaves air in the lungs;
this is called the ______ and is needed to _______.
a) tidal volume; acquire adequate O2
b) vital capacity; remove adequate CO2
c) functional residual capacity; keep alveoli patent
d) residual volume; keep alveoli patent
d
A female has a resting tidal volume of 400 mL, respiratory
rate of 13 breaths/min, and dead space of 125 mL. When
she exercises, which would be most efficient for increasing
oxygen delivery to her working skeletal muscle?
a. increase respiratory rate to 20 breaths/min, but no
change in tidal volume
b. increase tidal volume to 550 mL, but no change in
respiratory rate
c. increase tidal volume to 500 mL and respiratory rate to
15 breaths/min
c
diffusion of gases between blood and lungs
external respiration
diffusion of gases between blood and tissues
internal respiration
Two gases contribute to 99% of the total atmospheric
pressure. They are ______.
a) CO2 and O2
b) N2 and O2
c) CO2 and H2O vapor
d) N2 and CO2
b
The pressure exerted by each gas in a mixture is
proportional to its percentage. This is _______.
a) Dalton’s law of partial pressures
b) Boyle’s law of partial pressures
c) Henry’s law of gas percentages
d) the law of gas proportionality
a
bicarbonate ions move out of RBCs and chloride ions move into RBCs is called
chloride shift
inadequate O2 delivery to tissues
hypoxia
impaired or blocked blood circulatin
ischemic hypoxia
cells unable to use O2, as in metabolic poisons
hypoxemic hypoxia
normal respiratory rate
and rhythm (12–15 breaths/minute)
eupnea
chemoreceptors located throughout brain stem
central
chemoreceptors found in aortic arch and carotid arteries
peripheral
this is called when blood PCO2 levels rise , CO2 accumulates in brain and joins with water to become carbonic acid
hypercapnia
breathing cessation that may occur when PCO2 levels drop
abnormally low
apnea
controls that act through limbic system to modify rate and depth of
respiratio
hypothalamic
controlls that direct signals from cerebral motor cortex that bypass medullary
controls
cortical
originates in peripheral lung areas; develops
from bronchial glands and alveolar cells
adenocarcinoma
contains lymphocyte-like cells that
originate in primary bronchi and subsequently metastasize
small cell carcinoma
Hemoglobin molecules are fully saturated when bound to
_______ molecule(s) of O2.
a) one
b) two
c) three
d) four
d
Why is it possible to deliver more O2 to vigorously
working cells without increasing respiration rate or
cardiac output?
a) It isn’t: a small decrease in PO2 has very little effect on
hemoglobin unloading.
b) Because once one molecule of O2 is bound to
hemoglobin, the other molecules bind much more rapidly.
c) Because between a PO2 of zero and a PO2 of 40,
hemoglobin saturation changes very rapidly and a greater
degree of unloading will occur with even small changes in
PO2.
d) Because CO2 released from the vigorously working cells
enhances O2 binding to hemoglobin.
c
Red blood cells contain the enzyme _______, which
catalyzes the formation of carbonic acid.
a) carbonic anhydrase
b) carbon dioxide acidase
c) oxidase
d) catalase
a
The _______ is responsible for setting the basic rhythm
of breathing.
a) VRG
b) DRG
c) pontine respiratory group
d) pons
a
_______ is the most potent chemical influencing
respiration.
a) O2
b) N
c) H2O
d) CO2
d
_______ is produced by the _______ in response to low
blood oxygen levels.
a) Growth hormone; pituitary gland
b) Hematopoietin; bone marrow
c) Erythropoietin; kidneys
d) Hematopoietin; lungs
c
Loss of lung elasticity and destruction of alveolar walls is
termed:
a) Asthma
b) Emphysema
c) Chronic bronchitis
d) Dyspnea
b
