Definition
Enzyme which speeds the reaction of CO2 + H2O H2CO3
respiration which consists of an exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the cells
lines inside of the chest cavity
Name of HCO3-
vital capacity +residual volume
pressure 'across the wall' within the lungs
respiration which consist of using O2 in cells during metabolism
Normal PO2 in alveoli = _____ mmHg
change in lung volume for a given change in pressure, =change in volume/change in pressure, also 'stretchability'
maximum expired after maximum inspired, =inspiratory reserve volume + resting tidal volume + expiratory reserve volume, normally ~5,000 mL or 5L
tiny changes in the space change the pressure
blood flow through an organ
'between the ribs' muscles which elevate the rib cage and increase the size of the chest cavity during respiration
volume usually in lungs after normal expiration, normally about half full, or ~2500mL or 2.5L
volume of air entering or leaving lungs during one breath, normally about 500mls
Normal PCO2 in alveoli = _____ mmHg
O2 causing constriction of arterioles in lungs
maximum amount inspired beyond the tidal volume, normally ~3000mL or 3L
Definition
inflammation of the pleura
non-stretchy scar tissue
maximum amount expired beyond the tidal volume, normally ~1,500mL or 1.5L
decreases the attraction of water molecules to each other, serving to reduce surface tension within the alveoli
Normal PO2 in pulmonary artery = _____ mmHg
Normal PCO2 in pulmonary artery = _____ mmHg
outer layer of lung (slippery, like skin of an apple, but slippery)
blowing off CO2 faster than it is produced
space where fluid is in lungs
across the lung wall pressure difference
a membrane which surrounds the lungs
Name of H2CO3
volume of air which never leaves the lungs even after maximum exhalation, normally ~ 1000mL or 1L
muscles which further enlarge the chest cavity during respiration
chief muscle of inspiration; causes 75% of volume change (of chest cavity?)
occurs when air enters the intrapleural space, also called a collapsed lung
air sacs of the lungs
