60 views15 pages

Document Summary

Pre-lecture questions: list the correct order of structures through which air moves from when it enters the body at the mouth and nose to the alveoli in the lungs. Aveoli: write the formulae for boyle"s law and henry"s law and describe in words the important principle described by each. Pressure=1/volume (pressure goes up, volume goes down: draw an oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve. Involves both the respiratory and the circulatory systems. Four processes that supply the body with o2 and dispose of co2: pulmonary ventilation (breathing): movement of air into and out of the lungs, external respiration: o2 and co2 exchange between the lungs and the blood. Internal respiration: o2 and co2 exchange between systemic blood vessels and tissues. *notes: when volume is big, pressure is low, when diaphragm contracts it pulls down. Functional anatomy: respiratory zone: site of gas exchange, microscopic structures: respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli, conducting zone: conduits to gas exchange sites.
