    Study Notes

    Respiratory and Circulatory System Processes

    • Iron ingested from diet and absorbed by active transport
    • Transferrin protein transports iron in plasma to either liver for storage or bone marrow for hemoglobin formation
    • Hemostasis steps: vasoconstriction, platelet plug formation, clot formation
    • Primary functions of respiratory system: gas exchange, pH regulation, protection, vocalization
    • Pleural sac importance: double-layered membrane around lungs, prevents friction, maintains lung inflation
    • Alveolar sac cells: type 1 for respiration, type 2 secretes surfactant, alveolar macrophage for immunity
    • Respiratory membrane components: alveolar type 1 cell, basement membrane, pulmonary capillary endothelium
    • Pulmonary circulation pathway: right ventricle, pulmonary trunk, arteries, capillaries, venules, veins, left atrium
    • Mucociliary escalator: traps and removes pathogens, involving mucus, saline layer, and cilia
    • Dalton’s law: sum of partial pressures in a container equals total gas pressure
    • Boyle’s law in respiratory system: volume changes inversely affect pressure
    • Lung volumes and capacities definitions and calculations: TV, IRV, ERV, RV, IC, FRC, VC, TLC
    • Pressure changes in lungs during quiet breathing: intrapleural and alveolar pressure fluctuations, volume changes
