_____ are located in the chemoreceptors
medulla, bifurcation of the
carotid arteries, aortic arch
and can respond quickly to
changes in pH, sending
message to lungs
______ are located in the mechanical receptors
lungs, upper airways,
diaphragm and chest wall.
They are stimulated by
irritants, stretching, etc.
They keep the lungs from
overinflating, in part

____ is the main cause of Smoking
lung cancer and COPD. It
also is a cause of coronary
heart disease, stroke and a
host of other cancers and
diseases.
Number one cause of Smoking
preventable disease and
death worldwide
,Smoking is directly 90% of lung cancer
responsible for
approximately _______ deaths COPD
and approximately 80% of
deaths caused by ______.
acute lung injury
E-cigarettes contain a
COPD
herbicide primarily used to
asthma
kill weeds. It can cause ______
lung cancer
Know your reasons (health, cost, family etc.)
Set a quit date
Understand what to expect (cravings, prepare for food

_____ gas exchange in the Pulmonary Diffusion
lungs
In ______ oxygen and carbon Pulmonary diffusion
dioxide diffuse across the
alveolar capillary
membrane with ease due to
concentration differences
in the gases
Pulmonary perfusion blood flow to the lungs
Blood flow to the lungs Right ventricle ➡️ pulmonary artery ➡️ blood vessels
occurs from:
______ is increased when Compliance
lungs can easily inflate
within the thoracic cavity.
Lungs can become emphysema
overdistended and lose
their elastic recoil with
increased compliance.
Disease example _____________
,Compliance is decreased pulmonary fibrosis
when the lungs don't easily
inflate within the thoracic
cavity. They meet resistance
and can not fully inflate.
Disease example _______
The amount of pressure partial pressure
each gas exerts is its "part"
in the total gas mix, or it's pO2 = the partial pressure of oxygen
____ pCO2 = the partial pressure of carbon dioxide
