what structures/organs are part of the conducting zone (functional classification)
nose/mouth/pharynx all the way to terminal bronchioles
20
New cards
what structures/organs are part of the respiratory zone (functional classification)
from respiratory bronchioles to alveolar sacs (alveoli)
21
New cards
characteristics of the conducting zone
* thicker layers of epithelium tissue * goblet cells producing mucus/cilia → mucociliary clearance * thicker cartilage to keep airway patent * less smooth muscle
22
New cards
characteristics of respiratory zone
* thinner layers of epithelium tissue * type I and type II alveolar cells * immune protection from resident macrophages in alveoli * little to no cartilage * more smooth muscle
23
New cards
where would nonkeratinized stratified squamous epi be in the system
* nose/mouth/pharynx * larynx
24
New cards
where would ciliated pseudostratified columnar epi be in the system
* nose * pharynx * larynx * trachea * primary, secondary, and tertiary bronchi
25
New cards
where would ciliated simple columnar epi be in the system
bronchioles
26
New cards
where would nonciliated simple columnar epi be in the system
terminal bronchioles
27
New cards
where would simple cuboidal epi be in the system
respiratory bronchioles
28
New cards
where would simple squamous epi be in the system
respiratory bronchioles and alveoli in alveolar sac
29
New cards
what are the 4 cells of the respiratory zone
* type I alveolar cells * respiratory membranes * type II alveolar cells * macrophages
30
New cards
alveolar cells can also be known as
pneumocytes
31
New cards
what do resident macrophages derive from
monocytes
32
New cards
what function do resident macrophages derive from, where do they reside
immune protection, alveolar
33
New cards
characteristics of type I alveolar cells
* simple squamous epi cells * site of gas exchange * more numerous alveoli cell
34
New cards
characteristics of respiratory membrane
very thin fusion of alveolar (mainly type I) epithelium cells and pulmonary capillary endothelial cells
35
New cards
characteristics of type II alveolar cells
* less numerous than type I * produce a fluid called surfactant * reduces surface tension of alveoli to help maintain patency * maintain patency and openness
36
New cards
what to membranes make of the serous membrane
parietal pleura and visceral pleura
37
New cards
parietal pleura lines the
thoracic cavity
38
New cards
visceral pleura lines the
direct surface of the lung
39
New cards
what is between the two membranes in the serous membrane
serous fluid; helps reduce friction
40
New cards
what is a spirogram measure with
spirometer
41
New cards
what is 1
inspiratory reserve volume/IRV (3000mL)
42
New cards
what is 2
tidal volume/Vt (500mL)
43
New cards
what is 3
expiratory reserve volume/ERV (1500mL)
44
New cards
what is 4
residual volume (1000mL)
45
New cards
what is tidal volume
volume of air in lungs during restful breathing (500mL)
46
New cards
what is expiratory reserve volume/ERV
maximum exhale after normal exhale (1500mL)
47
New cards
what is inspiratory reserve volume/IRV
maximum inhale after normal inhale (3000mL)
48
New cards
what is residual volume/RV
amount of air remaining after maximum exhale because we never get rid of all volume in lungs (1000mL)
upon contraction the diaphragm moves ----- and ------ the size of the thoracic cavity
down; increases
82
New cards
upon relaxation the diaphragm moves ------ and ------ the size of the thoracic cavity
up; decreases
83
New cards
4 steps of restful inhalation/inspiration
1. neural input to skeletal muscles of inspiration 2. contraction of inspiratory muscles 3. lungs expand 4. air moves down its pressure gradient into lungs
84
New cards
4 steps of restful exhalation/expiration
1. withdrawal of neural input to inspiratory muscles 2. relaxation of diaphragm and external intercostals 3. lungs recoil 4. air moves down pressure gradient
85
New cards
what nerve innervates the diaphragm
phrenic nerve
86
New cards
what nerve innervates the external intercostals
intercostal nerves
87
New cards
upon contraction the external intercostals ------ ribs and ------ the size of the thoracic cavity
elevates; increases
88
New cards
an increase in thoracic cavity size during inhalation causes the -------- ------- to --------
alveolar volume; increase
89
New cards
if alveolar volume increases, alveolar pressure -------
decreases
90
New cards
once lung expand in inhalation what is the pressure relation
Patm > Palv
91
New cards
when Patm > Palv air moves where
into the lungs
92
New cards
relaxation of diaphragm and external intercostals causes the size of the thoracic cavity to ------
decrease
93
New cards
if thoracic cavity size decreases, then alveolar pressure -------
increases
94
New cards
once lungs recoil in exhalation, what is the pressure relation
