Cellular Metabolism
The 2 components that are necessary for aerobic metabolism.
What is Oxygen and Glucose?
Portion of the airway from the mouth and soft palate to the epiglottis.
What is the oropharynx?
the two main branches leading from the trachea to the lungs, providing the passageway for air movement
What is the bronchi?
During this phase of ventilation, the diaphragm contracts downward.
What is inhalation?
Constantly monitor the arterial content of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and the blood pH and stimulate a change in the respiratory rate and depth.
What are chemoreceptors?
This term means "without Oxygen"
What is Anaerobic?
When the airway is free of blood, vomitus, or obstruction.
What is a patent airway?
Small branches off the bronchi that lead to alveoli.
What are bronchioles?
The mechanical process by which air is moved in and out of the lungs.
What is Ventilation?
The main vessel that oxygen binds to in the blood.
What is hemoglobin?
The main product of Aerobic metabolism.
What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)?
This structure, contains the vocal cords.
What is the Larynx?
The air sacs in which gas exchange occurs.
What is the Alveoli?
The concept that at a constant temperature the volume of a gas is inversely proportionate to the pressure.
What is Boyles Law?
The resistance of blood flow through a vessel based on the diameter of the vessel.
Systemic vascular resistance.
The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvic acid.
What is glycolysis?
The portion of the airway from the nostrils to the soft palate.
What is the nasopharynx?
The condition in which bronchioles get inflamed and hinder ventilation.
What is Bronchitis.
The measure of the capability of the chest wall and lungs to stretch, distend, and expand.
What is Compliance?
The volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle in one minute.
What is cardiac output?
Pyruvic acid is broken down into this during Anaerobic metabolism.
What is Lactic acid?
The flap of cartilaginous tissue that covers the opening of the larynx during swallowing
What is the epiglottis?
The point at which the trachea bifurcates into the left and right Bronchus.
What is the Carnia?
Tidal volume X Breaths per minute=??
Minute Volume.
When the peripheral chemoreceptors rely on a decrease in the oxygen level to stimulate ventilation.
What is the hypoxic drive?
