Breathing and Lung Mechanics. Ventilation is the exchange of air between the external environment and the alveoli. Air moves by bulk flow from an area of high pressure to low pressure. All pressures in the respiratory system are relative to atmospheric pressure (760mmHg at sea level).
2 Ιαν 2015 · Test your basic knowledge of respiratory physiology by taking this simple quiz. (1) Approximately, how many alveoli are there in both (i.e., left and right) human lungs combined? (2) The respiratory zone of the lungs is composed of: (3) By the time inspired air reaches the respiratory exchange surfaces, the partial pressure of water (water ...

HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM QUESTIONS. 1. Distinguish between external and internal respiration. 2. List the parts of the human respiratory system, and state the function of each. 3. Describe the mechanism of breathing. 4. Explain why oxygen from the air in an alveolus moves into the blood, and carbon dioxide moves out of the blood into the alveolus.
Respiratory System: Practice Questions #1. Smoking may damage the respiratory system because deposits from the smoke can. interfere with ciliary action in the trachea. trigger the release of antigens by the alveoli. block the transmission of impulses that regulate breathing. lower blood pressure in the mucous membranes of the bronchioles.

The nose serves all the following functions EXCEPT: a. as the initiator of the cough reflex. b. warming and humidifying the air. c. cleansing the air. d. as a passageway for air movement
Calculate her total pulmonary ventilation (minute volume). Further investigation reveals the presence of mild hyper-responsive airways and Martina is diagnosed with asthma. b) Draw and label a sketch that compares and contrasts the physiological characteristics of a normal bronchiole with one affected by asthma.
