conducting division
passages that are only for airflow
respiratory division
alveoli and gas exchange regions
three types of pharynx
naso/oro/laryngo
how many lobes on right lung
3
how lobes on left lung
2
bronchial tree sections
main, lobar, segmental
type 1 alveolar cells
simple squamous, most common
type 2 alveolar cells
secretes surfactant (like soap)
what is parietal pleura attached to
ribs
what is visceral pleura attached to
lungs
4 types of respiratory volumes
tidal, inspiratory reserve, expiratory reserve, residual
4 types of respiratory capacities
viral, inspiratory, functional residue, total lung
diaphragm
dome shaped when relaxed
volume/pressure in cavity is ______ when relaxed
low, high
when contracted volume/pressure is _____
high, low
inspiration muscles
erector spinae, sternocleidmastoid, pectoralis
expiration muscles
abs, latissimus dorsi, pelvic muscle
brain respiratory centers
ventral respiratory group
primary generator of respiratory rhythm
dorsal respiratory group
modifies VRG when respiration rate and depth changes
pontine respiratory group
receives input from higher control and gives input to VRG/DRG
central and peripheral input
central/peripheral chemoreceptors
stretch receptors
irritant receptors
4 respiratory volumes meaning
amount of air inhaled/exhaled during normal breathing
if too high carbon dioxide
chemoreceptors detect
Autonomic respiratory centers respond
DRG and PRG send signal to VRG, neurons fire and respiration rate increases
