Respiratory 1
Name an organ of the respiratory system.
ie. Lungs
Each sequence of relaxation and contraction of the heart.
What is the cardiac cycle?
What is the function of the respiratory system?
Breathing
What is erythrocyte or mature red blood cells?
What are blood vessels that take blood to the heart?
veins
Name a disease of the respiratory system.
ie. asthma
The form in which oxygen is carried by red blood cells.
What is oxyhemoglobin?
Which are bigger? Bronchi or bronchioles
bronchi
What waste product does blood carry away?
What are blood vessels that take blood away from the heart?
arteries
What do you call the organ that keeps food and water out of the respiratory system?
Epiglottis
These are the three types of circuits that blood flows through in the heart.
What is pulmonary circulation, systemic circulation, and coronary circulation?
What are three functions of the nasal cavity
warms, moisturizes, and filters air
What is is called when part of the heart dies or is damaged?
heart attack
Used by the the body's cells to produce energy from glucose during cellular respiration.
What is oxygen?
The chemical reaction that exchanges oxygen for carbon dioxide is called?
cellular respiration
This blood type has no agglutinogens (i.e. "flags") on red blood cells.
What is O-?
Where gas is exchanged between air and blood.
What are the capillaries surrounding the alveoli?
In order to increase blood flow, there needs to be a(n) ________________ in the pressure gradient and a(n) _______________ in the resistance.
(decrease or increase)
What is increase in the pressure gradient and decrease in the resistance?
These vessels have flaps called valves that act like double doors that open only one way to regulate the flow to the heart.
What are veins?
Name the order in which air passes through the respiratory system?
nose and mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
The term for red blood cell formation, which occurs in the red bone marrow.
What is hematopoiesis?
the red pigment molecule that transports oxygen and carbon dioxide in vertebrate red blood cells.
What is hemoglobin?
Cardiac AND skeletal muscle tissues are both:
a. striated
b. branched
c. contract as a unit
d. spontaneously depolarize without input from the nervous system
What is a. striated?
Yellowish fluid that makes up the highest percentage of blood.
What is plasma?
This ion allows hemoglobin to readilyl bind with oxygen in the aveoli capillaries.
a. Fe2+
b. Na+
c. K+
d. Ca2+
What is a. Fe2+?
The most common component in blood beside plasma. These disc-shaped molecules hold hemoglobin and carry carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What are erythrocytes?
The process by which oxygen in the air in the lungs moves into the bloodstream from a region of high to a region of low concentration.
What is diffusion?
These rid the circulatory system of antigens.
What are leukocytes?
Four things blood transports.
What is oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste products?
The trachea branches into these before entering the lungs.
What are bronchi?
This machine tracks the electrical activity in the heart. Draw a high and low diagram.
What is electrocardiogram?
adding up up the volume of air breathed in when you breathe in as much as you can, plus the air breathed forcefully out.
What is lung capacity?
Also called thrombocytes, these cell fragments clump together in a complex process to form a clot to stop blood loss.
What are platelets?
The flow of blood through the heart and lungs.
What is the right atrium, right ventricle, lungs, left atrium, left ventricle?
