Document Summary

Main f(x) exchange gases between air and blood. Carbon dioxide is a waste product from aerobic metabolism. Majority of o2 is reversibly bound to hemoglobin (special protein in rbcs) Co2 is transported several ways one way involves reversible rxn with h2o. Exercise need more o2 for aerobic metabolism produce more atp required for muscles to contract during exercise. To regulate amt of air moving in/out of lungs = ventilation rate. Ventilation rate if modified by chemoreceptors that are stimulated by ph and co2 lvl. General anatomy of respiratory system: upper respiratory tract. Anatomy of lungs: refer to review question, as passageways become smaller, less cartilage and more smooth muscle, air passage way size decrease but increase in number. Explain contraction of respiratory muscles and changes in thoracic volume; during quiet vs. labored breathing: during quiet breathing. Diaphragm & external intercostals relax passive lung recoil, decrease in elasticity of lungs and thorax which decrease thoracic volume.
