Questions and Answers

What is the difference between external and internal respiration?

  • External respiration involves the uptake and utilization of oxygen by cells, while internal respiration involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment.
  • External respiration involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment, while internal respiration involves the uptake and utilization of oxygen by cells. (correct)
  • External respiration is a process that occurs only in the lungs, while internal respiration occurs in all cells of the body.
  • External respiration is an intracellular metabolic process that uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, while internal respiration is an extracellular metabolic process that uses carbon dioxide and produces oxygen.
  • What is the function of airway muscles like laryngeal, pharyngeal, and genioglossus?

  • To decrease airway resistance and prevent collapse of the airway (correct)
  • To regulate the temperature of the air entering the lungs
  • To move air in and out of the lungs
  • To increase airway resistance and cause collapse of the airway
  • What is the difference between obstructive and restrictive lung diseases?

  • Obstructive lung diseases are caused by a decrease in lung compliance, while restrictive lung diseases are caused by an increase in lung compliance.
  • Obstructive lung diseases are caused by a decrease in lung elasticity, while restrictive lung diseases are caused by an increase in lung elasticity.
  • Obstructive lung diseases are caused by a narrowing of the airways, while restrictive lung diseases are caused by damage to the lung tissue.
  • Obstructive lung diseases are characterized by a decrease in FEV1 and FEV1/FVC, while restrictive lung diseases are characterized by a decrease in FEV1 only. (correct)
  • What is spirometry used for?

    Study Notes

    Mechanics of Ventilation: Understanding Respiration, Anatomy, Forces, and Lung Diseases

    • Respiration refers to two processes: external respiration and internal respiration.
    • External respiration involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the environment, while internal respiration involves the uptake and utilization of oxygen by cells and the release of carbon dioxide.
    • Cellular respiration is an intracellular metabolic process that uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide while deriving energy from nutrient molecules.
    • The lungs have 300 million alveoli with a surface area of about 80 sqm for gas exchange driven by diffusion along concentration gradients.
    • Ventilation is driven by mechanical forces, and air is moved into and out of the lungs along pressure gradients.
    • Boyle's law states that for a fixed mass of enclosed gas at a constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume remains constant.
    • Inspiration and expiration are two conditions where pressure equilibrium is disrupted, establishing pressure differentials that draw air in or push it out of the lungs.
    • Inspiratory muscles include the diaphragm and external intercostals, while accessory muscles like scalenes and sternomastoid are used during exercise and respiratory disease.
    • Airway muscles like laryngeal, pharyngeal, and genioglossus dilate and stabilize the airway and prevent collapse.
    • Passive expiration is a passive process at rest, while active expiration involves the contraction of abdominal and internal intercostal muscles, necessary for coughing, sneezing, exercise, respiratory disease, screaming, singing, and vomiting.
    • Lung diseases are categorized as obstructive (e.g., asthma, COPD) or restrictive (e.g., lung fibrosis, scoliosis), with FEV1 and FEV1/FVC reduced in obstructive diseases and FEV1 decreased in restrictive diseases.
    • Spirometry is used to measure lung volumes and capacities, and peak flow meters are used to measure PEFR, a measure of airway resistance, useful in asthma.
