BIOL 3305 Lecture Notes - Lecture 39: Pleural Cavity, Chordae Tendineae, Pulmonary Vein
Document Summary
Respiratory membrane: where gas exchange between air and blood takes place: pleural cavities: each lung is surrounded by a separate pleural cavity. Superficial lymphatic vessels: deep to the visceral pleura: drain lymph from superficial lung tissue and vesceral pleura. Deep lymphatic vessels: follow the bronchi and drain lymph from bronchi and associated connective tissues. 8 explain the mechanics and control of lung ventilation and how partial pressures of carbon dioxide (pco2) and oxygen (po2) in the blood affect ventilation of the lungs; 8 describe respiratory volumes and pulmonary function tests; 8 describe gas exchange in the lungs and between blood and tissues; 8 explain the mechanisms of uptake, transport and release of respiratory gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide) in the blood and the homeostasis of blood gas levels; 8 explain the effects of exercise on respiratory function. 8 identify the main vessels in the circulatory system; 8 describe the composition and functions of blood;
