CSB346H1 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Pulmonary Stretch Receptors, Pleural Cavity, Control Of Ventilation
Document Summary
Regulation of body temperature (panting in dogs) Alveoli is made up of epithelial cells (one cell thick) Respiratory membrane (alveolar capillary membrane) is the alveolar epithelium and capillary endothelium separated by a small distance filled with interstitial fluid (two cell thick: 0. 2 0. 5 m. Destroys alveoli: alveoli are unventilated, which is blocked by dead tissue. Destroys capillaries (reversible: alveoli are ventilated, but there is no blood flow. Membrane that lines the interior surface of the chest wall and the exterior surface of the lung. Visceral pleura (lung) is attached to parietal pleura (inside chest wall) is separated by intrapleural space (cohesive property: makes the lungs stuck to the chest wall. Each lung is surrounded by a separated pleural sac. Traumatic (e. g. , stab wound in the chest: hemothorax (blood in pleural space) Spontaneous (e. g. , emphysema or rupture of cyst in lung: secondary spontaneous pneumothorax caused by emphysema (disease of lung tissue)
