breathing
pulmonary respiration
Oxygen from lungs delivered to the blood and Carbon dioxide from blood delivered to lungs
external respiration
Oxygen to tissues and carbon dioxide released from tissues via blood
transport of respiratory gases
Oxygen from the blood to cells and carbon dioxide from cells to blood
internal respiration
inflammation of nasal mucosa
Rhinitis
inflammation of vocal cords
Laryngitis
Lung stretchability
lung compliance
Name the 3 factors influencing oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange across the respiratory membrane
1.
2.
3.
Partial pressure gradients and gas solubility
ventilation-perfusion coupling
thickness and surface area of the respiratory membranes
Explain the partial pressure gradients and gas solubility and how it affects gas exchange across the respiratory membrane
The steeper the pressure gradient, the more oxygen diffuses rapidly from alveoli to capillaries
____ ____ triggers ___________ __________ reducing __________ to poorly __________ areas
_____ ______ causes __________ _________ directing ___________ to areas with good ___________
