What is the upper pair called? ___ false vocal cords (vestibular folds), help close larynx during swallowing____________________________________________________ What is their function? _ false vocal cords (vestibular folds), help close larynx during swallowing___________________________________________________________ What is the lower pair called? __ true vocal cords, vibrate to produce sounds when air is forced between them_____________________________________________________ What is their function? _ true vocal cords, vibrate to produce sounds when air is forced between them_____________________________________________________________________ What is the name of the triangular slit, through which air passes? ____glottis________________________________ What closes this space off when swallowing? ____epiglottis_________________________________________________ Trachea: The trachea extends downward anterior to the ___ esophagus_______ and into the thoracic cavity, where it splits into right and left ____ bronchi_______. What is the inner wall lined with? __ ciliated mucous membrane, filters incoming air and moves trapped particles upwards into the pharynx__________________________________________________ Why? ____ ciliated mucous membrane, filters incoming air and moves trapped particles upwards into the pharynx____________________________________________________________________ __ The tracheal wall is supported by 20 incomplete cartilaginous rings. Why are they incomplete and not complete? ____ 20, open area at back permits expansion of esophagus when swallowing food___________________________________________________________________________________ Bronchial tree: The bronchial tree consists of branched tubes leading from the ___ trachea, to the ______ alveoli_______ _____. The bronchial tree begins with the two primary __ bronchi____________, each leading to a lung. Where do these lead? ___ to secondary bronchi, How many secondary bronchi are on each side? ___3 on right and 2 on left____ ____ What are the smallest branches of the bronchial tree called? ______bronchioles, ________________________ Do they have cartilage in their walls? ____no___ Where does the actual gas exchange take place? __in the alveoli_______________________________________ Lungs: The right and left soft, spongy, cone-shaped lungs are separated medially by the __mediastinum, and are enclosed by the ___ diaphragm_________ __________ and thoracic cage. A primary bronchus and large blood vessels enter each 2 © 2018 by McGraw-Hill Education. This is proprietary material solely for authorized instructor use.

A layer of serous membrane, the visceral ___ pleura_________, attached to the lung, folds back to form the ____ parietal pleura_____ ________. The ____ parietal_______ pleura lines the thoracic cavity; serous fluid lubricates the pleural cavity between these two membranes. Each lobe is composed of lobules that contain air passages, alveoli, nerves, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and connective tissues. Breathing Mechanism: ___ ventilation________ (breathing), the movement of air in and out of the lungs, is composed of 2 processes: ______ inspiration, expiration______ and __________. Inspiration: ____ atmospheric__________ pressure is the force that moves air into the lungs. What happens when pressure on the inside of the lungs decreases? air flows in from outside_______ Air pressure inside the lungs is decreased by _ increasing___________ the size of the thoracic cavity; due to surface tension between the two layers of pleura, the lungs follow along with the chest wall and _ expand_________. What are the muscles involved in inspiration (expanding the thoracic cavity)? _ diaphragm and external intercostals_________________________ What keeps the alveoli from sticking to each other and collapsing? a lipoprotein called surfactant___________________________________ Expiration: The process of expiration results from the elastic ___ recoil______ of lung and muscle tissues, and from the surface tension within the alveoli. Forced expiration is aided by _____ thoracic____ ________ muscles, and abdominal wall muscles that compress the abdomen against the diaphragm. Respiratory Volumes and Capacities: The measurement of different air volumes is called __ spirometry_________, and it describes four distinct respiratory volumes. Define each of the following volumes and capacities. Tidal volume (TV): __________ volume of air that enters and leaves the lungs during one respiratory cycle______________________________________________________ Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV): ___ additional volume that can be inhaled by forced inspiration__________________________________________________ Expiratory reserve volume (ERV): additional volume that can be exhaled by force expiration;_____________________________________________________ Residual volume (RV): _ air remaining in bronchial tree after exhalation____________________________________________________________ Vital capacity (VC): _____ tidal volume+inspiratory reserve+expiratory reserve volume___________________________________________________________ 3 © 2018 by McGraw-Hill Education.

Inspiratory capacity (IC): __ tidal volume+inspiratory reserve volume; __________________________________________________________ Functional residual capacity (FRC): ___ expiratory reserve volume+anatomical dead space; _________________________________________________ Total lung capacity (TLC): ___ vital capacity+anatomical dead space________________________________________________________ Anatomic Dead Space: Volume of air that never reaches the gas exchange area of the lungs. Control of Respiration: Normal breathing is a rhythmic, involuntary act, even though the muscles are under __ voluntary_____________ control. The respiratory centers in the ____ medulla___________ & ____ pons,___________ sends impulses to control respiration. This process is controlled primarily by the level of __ carbon dioxide,____________ in the blood. The level of ______ oxygen________ plays only a minor role (only when levels are extremely low). An inflation reflex, triggered by stretch receptors in the visceral pleura, bronchioles, and alveoli, helps to prevent ______ overinflation________ of the lungs during forceful breathing. Hyperventilation lowers the amount of ___ carbon dioxide________ ____________ in the blood. Gas Exchange: The ___ alveoli_______ are the only sites of gas exchange between the atmosphere and the blood. They are tiny sacs clustered at the distal ends of the ___ alveolar______________ ducts. The ____ respiratory___________ membrane consists of the epithelial cells of the alveolus, the endothelial cells of the capillary, and the fused basement membranes of these layers. Gases diffuse from areas of ____higher___________ pressure to areas of _______lower________ pressure. In a mixture of gases, each gas accounts for a portion of the total pressure; the amount of pressure each gas exerts is called its partial pressure. When the partial pressure of oxygen is higher in the alveolar air than it is in the capillary blood, oxygen will diffuse into the _co2______. When the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is greater in the blood than in the alveolar air, carbon dioxide will diffuse out of the ______blood__________ and into the _________alevoli______. What factors favor increased diffusion across the respiratory membrane? _____ increased surface area, increased partial gradient, shorter diffusion distance_________________ _ __________________________________________________________________________________ O2 transport: Over 98% of oxygen is carried in the blood bound to ___ hemoglobin___________ of red blood cells, producing _____________. This chemical is unstable in areas where the concentration of oxygen is low, and 4 © 2018 by McGraw-Hill Education. This is proprietary material solely for authorized instructor use.

More oxygen is released as the blood concentration of carbon dioxide increases, as the blood becomes more acidic, and as blood temperature increases. A deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues is called _____ hypoxia________, and has a variety of causes. CO2 transport: Carbon dioxide may be transported ___ dissolved__________ in blood plasma, as __ carbamino hemoglobin___________, or as ________ bicarbonate_________ ions. Which is most common? __ bicarbonate________ When carbon dioxide reacts with water in the plasma, ___ carbonic__________ acid is formed slowly. Much of the carbon dioxide enters red blood cells, where the enzyme ____ carbonic anhydrase_______ ____________ speeds up this reaction. The resulting acid dissociates immediately, releasing bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. 5 © 2018 by McGraw-Hill Education. This is proprietary material solely for authorized instructor use.
