Respiratory System — Flashcards

The _____ pressure across the lungs is calculated as alveolar pressure minus intrapleural pressure

Central chemoreceptors respond indirectly to increased _____ and directly to decreased pH

The _____ respiratory group is primarily responsible for expiration and is not active during normal, quiet breathing

In _____ lung disease, the flow volume loops shifts to the right*

_____ in temperature cause the O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve to shift to the left

The _____ respiratory group is primarily responsible for inspiration and generates the basic rhythm for breathing

Hysteresis occurs due to the need to overcome _____ forces during lung inflation (inspiration)

The oxygen-Hb dissociation curve is roughly flat when the Po2 is between _____ and 100 mmHg

_____ dead space can be measured by the single-breath N2 curve (Fowler's method).

O2 is carried in blood in two forms: _____ (2%) or bound to hemoglobin (98%)
