ATI TEAs test

the conductive zone (in the resp. system) brings what to the respiratory zone? inhaled air what occurs in the respiratory zone? what is external respiration? what is internal respiration? what are secondary functions of the res- piratory system? what is gas exchange? what system is often involved in ther- moregulation? what is the breathing mechanism of in- spiration? what is the breathing mechanism of ex- piration? what is the function of arterioles? what is the function of venules what is the function of veins? gas exchange the exchange of gas between the lungs and blood the exchange of gas between the blood and tissues - pH regulation of the blood - odor detection - production of speech loading of oxygen into pulmonary blood and the removal of carbon dioxide the respiratory system within inspiration, the intercostal muscles and diaphragm contract. leading to: - decreased intrapleural pressure - increased volume of the thoracic cavity within expiration, the intercostal muscles and diaphragm relax. this leads to: - increased intrapleural pressure - decreased volume of the thoracic cavity - primary vessels involved in vasocon- striction/vasodilation - control blood flow to capillaries empty blood into larger veins carry blood to the heart
