Spirometry
Total volume of air in the lungs including residual volume.
What is total lung capacity?
The two branches delivering air into the lungs
What are the Bronchi?
These gasses pass through the walls of the capillaries and alveoli
What are Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
Diaphram lowers and intercoastals contract lifting the rib cage
What does the contraction look like for inspiration?
Red
What is the color of all red blood cells? (Oxygenated or not)
Normal inhale and exhale
What is Tidal Volume
Air sacs at the end of the Bronchioles. Air Diffusion happens here
What are the Alveoli?
Breathing out expels this gas
Carbon Dioxide
Expiration (related to pressure and lungs)
What happens when pressure in lungsis above atmospheric pressure?
Iron containing protein that transports oxygen
What is Haemoglobin?
All the air you can breath in Tidal inspiration and INspiratory reserve volume
What is Inspiratory Capacity
AKA "windpipe"
What is the Trachea?
What are capillaries?
Air is pulled into lungs (related to pressure)
What happens when pressure in lungs is lower than atmosphere?
Haemoglobin carry this number of O2 molecules
What is 4 molecules of oxygen?
All the air you can breath in and out
What is Vital Capacity
This is where the nasal passage connects to the mouth
This is the name of the artery that brings deoxygenated blood cells to the lungs.
What are the pulmonary arteries?
760 mm/Hg
What is the atmospheric pressure of mercury?
The combination of oxygen and haemoglobin
What is oxyhaemoglobin?
The air left in your lungs after maximum exhale
What is residual volume?
This tissue forms the shape of a C to prevent collapse of the Trachea
What is cartilage?
Gasses always flow down this
What is the Pressure Gradient?
The law stating there is an inverse relationship between pressure and volume
What is Boyles Law?
Where needed, oxygen separates from haemoglobin and diffuses into the living cell containing low concentration of oxygen
What is the delivery of oxygen to specific cells?
