    Study Notes

    Respiratory System and Gas Exchange Processes

    • Iron is ingested from the diet and absorbed by active transport; it is then transported in plasma by the transferrin protein to either the liver for storage as ferritin or to the bone marrow to form hemoglobin.
    • The steps of hemostasis involve vasoconstriction, forming a platelet plug, and then forming a clot.
    • The primary functions of the respiratory system include gas exchange, regulation of body pH, protection from inhaled pathogens and irritating substances, and vocalization.
    • The pleural sac is a double-layered membrane around the lungs that prevents friction and pain while keeping the lungs inflated.
    • The alveolar sacs consist of type 1 cells for respiration/gas exchange, type 2 cells for surfactant secretion, and alveolar macrophages for immunity.
    • The pulmonary circulation pathway involves the right ventricle, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, capillaries, venules, veins, and left atrium.
    • The mucociliary escalator traps pathogens, separates them from the cilia with saline, and moves them towards the oral cavity for disposal.
    • Dalton's law states that the sum of partial pressures in a container adds up to the total gas pressure.
    • Boyle's law explains that changing the volume of a container changes the pressure inside, as observed in the respiratory system.
    • Lung volumes and capacities include tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume.
    • Pressure changes in the lungs during quiet breathing involve intrapleural pressure, alveolar pressure, and the volume of air moved in the lungs.
    • Surfactant is a detergent that prevents the collapse of alveolar walls by breaking down water polar molecules in the alveoli.
