Respiratory structures
The structure in the lung that takes place in gas exchange.
This causes the transfer of gasses, like oxygen and carbon dioxide
What is partial pressure difference?
This structure of the nephron loop has aquaporins for water reabsorption
What is the thin segment?
This happens if the medulla is not salty
What is diluted urine?
This means to go back to the blood
What is reabsorption?
The "structure" that helps clear debris from the lungs (hint: think the mall)
What is the mucociliary escalator?
The first step of inhalation (what causes inhalation?)
What is the diaphragm contracts?
This is the goal of the nephron loop, according to Dr. Freeman
What is make the medulla salty?
The presence of this in urine is indicative of diabetes mellitus
What is glucose?
This is the name for involuntary urination
What is Incontinence?
The STRUCTURE that keeps the nostrils from drying out, assisting with immune system function. (hint: not mucous)
What is the swell body (erectile tissue)?
The indicator for hemoglobin to unload oxygen at working tissues
What is H+, or low pH?
Dilation of this structure increases GFR
What is the afferent arteriole?
This is the mechanism that urine moves through the ureters, also used in other parts of the body
What is peristalsis?
This increases hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen
The structure(s) that prevent food from entering the airway.
What are the larynx and epiglottis?
When someone sighs, without being upset, this is happening in their lungs and why
What is spreading surfactant to prevent alveolar collapse?
The structure that collects urine from many different nephrons
What is the collecting duct?
The part of the nephron that is affected by hormonal control
What is the DCT and collecting duct?
The body fixes this by hyperventilating
The specific structure that inhaled items are most likely to get caught
What is the right bronchi?
The home for the pacemaker neurons in the VRG
What is the pre-bötzinger complex?
This structure is voluntary to control during urination
What is the external urinary sphincter?
A disease that damaged the Na/K pumps in the nephron loop would do this to the concentration of "salt" in the medulla
What is less salty
This is the form that carbon dioxide is transported in the blood
What is a bicarbonate ion?
