Physiology
Boyles Law states that volume is inversely related to this
What is pressure
The portion of the airway that makes the back of the throat - the space immediately behind the oral and nasal cavities
What is the pharynx
The deterioration of the brain resulting in the loss of memory, awareness, and understanding.
What is Alzheimers
The contraction phase of the heart
What is systole
To get from the left atria to the left ventricle you must pass through this valve
What is the bicuspid (mitral) valve
When the pressure in the aorta decreases the cardiac cycle can move to this phase of the cardiac cycle
What is ventricular ejection
This portion of the airway contains both the thyroid and cricoid cartilages
What is the larynx
A deterioration and malformation of the joints due to being attacked by the immune system
What is rheumatoid arthritis
The secretion released by the type II alveolar cells
What is surfactant
These vessels return blood back to the left atria
What are the pulmonary veins
When air pressure in the room is LOWER than the air pressure in the thoracic cavity leading to the movement of air OUT of the lungs
What is exhalation
The portion of the bronchiole tree that contains the MOST amount of cartilage and the least amount of smooth muscle
What are the primary bronchioles
The loss of the myelin on the nerves leading to skeletal muscle that leads to muscle atrophy and weakness
What is multiple sclerosis (MS)
The portion of the larynx that closes off the trachea when we swallow to avoid choking on food.
What is the epiglottis
This chamber has the largest diameter and is surrounded by the thickest wall of muscle.
What is the left ventricle
The minimum VO2max a person can have to maintain independence
What is 12 ml/kg/min
The very thin walled, delicate sacs that make up a majority of the lung tissue
What are alveoli
A collection of disorders impacting the heart and circulatory system due to aging and poor health
What is heart disease
The volume of lungs we can inspire above that of tidal volume
What is inspiratory reserve volume
Blood leaving the right ventricle will pass through the pulmonary valve and into this vessle
What is the pulmonary trunk (left and right pulmonary arteries)
The phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart is in diastole waiting for pressure in the atria to be greater than the pressure of the ventricle.
What is isovolumic relaxation
When the abdominal muscles and obliques assist with the ventilation process
What is forced exhalation
The overuse of insulin to move glucose out of the blood and into the muscle causing the insulin receptors to stop working
What is type II diabetes
The production of ATP in the cytoplasm without the help of oxygen or the mitochondria
What is anaerobic respiration
The first chamber that non-oxygenated blood will enter when returning to the heart
What is the right atria
