BME 235 Respiratory I Test With
Complete Solution
Respiratory System - ANSWER _____________ _____________ consists of a system
of tubes that delivers air to the lungs
Oxygen; CO2 - ANSWER _______ diffuses into the blood, and __________ diffuses
out
Cardiopulmonary System - ANSWER Respiratory and cardiovascular systems
work together to deliver oxygen to the tissues and remove carbon dioxide
- Disorders of lungs directly affect the heart and vice versa
Respiratory; Urinary - ANSWER _____________ system and the _____________
system collaborate to regulate the body's acid-base balance
Respiration - ANSWER a term used to refer to ventilation of the lungs
(breathing)
Respiration Functions - ANSWER - Gas Exchange: O2 and CO2 exchanged
,between blood and air
- Communication
- Olfaction
- Acid-Base balance: influences pH of body fluids by eliminating CO2
- BP Regulation: by helping in synthesis of angiotensin II
- Blood and Lymph Flow: breathing creates pressure gradients between
thorax and abdomen that promote flow of lymph and blood
- Blood Filtration: lungs filter small clots
- Expulsion of Abdominal Contents: breath-holding assists in urination,
defecation, and childbirth (Valsalva maneuver)
Principal Organs of Respiratory System - ANSWER nose, pharynx, larynx,
trachea, bronchi, lungs
, Alveoli - ANSWER Incoming air stops in the ___________
- Millions of thin-walled, microscopic air sacs
- Exchanges gases with the bloodstream through the alveolar wall, and then
flows back out
Conducting Division (of respiratory system) - ANSWER Consists of alveoli and
other gas exchange regions
Upper Respiratory Tract - ANSWER in head and neck
- Nose through larynx
Lower Respiratory Tract - ANSWER organs of the thorax
- Trachea through lungs
Visceral Pleura - ANSWER serous membrane that covers lungs
