Gas Exchange
Name of the area in the lungs where gas exchange and are fused walls of alveoli and capillaries.
What is the respiratory membrane?
The site of fetal gas exchange.
What is the placenta?
The change in pH and blood CO2 concentration that would increase respiration
What are decreased pH and increased CO2?
The definition of perfusion.
What is the amount of blood flow circulating by the alveoli?
The trigger of fetal lung activation.
What is exposure to air directly after birth?
The role of proprioceptors in muscles and joints on respiration?
What is the high presence of stretch/tension alerts the brain that the tissue is active and needs more respiration?
The main drive of respiration and main respiratory molecule floating in the blood?
What are CO2 and HCO3-?
The reason that an infant's respiratory rate will be the highest ever in life.
What is that the lungs and the thoracic cavity are at its smallest size, so they are unable to move in as much air which causes the lungs to overwork and move faster?
Involved in switching between inspiration and expiration.
What is the pontine or pneumotaxic respiratory group?
Decreasing the partial pressure of CO2 is present because of what changes in external respiration process. Also, how does blood diameter change?
What is increased ventilation, decreased perfusion, and dilation of blood vessels?
The state of pressure within the pleural cavity as the chest wall expands.
What is the pressure becomes more negative?
Describe the Hering-Breuer reflex?
What are stretch receptors in the lungs that cease inspiration once your lungs have maximally expanded to prevent lung burst?
The state of oxygen affinity when blood pH is increased, partial pressure of CO2 decreases, and BPG concentration decreases and reason why this occurs.
What is low oxygen affinity because the tissues are active, indicating that more O2 is needed in that area?
The three homeostatic imbalances that reduce compliance.
What are deformities of thorax, ossification of costal cartilage, and paralysis of intercostal muscles?
The area in the CNS that would most likely have a disorder if the external intercostal muscles stop aiding in inspiration.
What is the ventral respiratory group?
