Add to cartWhat is the purpose of breathing or ventilation?
The purpose of breathing or ventilation is to get oxygen (O2) into the lungs and remove carbon dioxide (CO2) produced in cellular metabolism.
input text value
What are the processes involved in breathing?
The processes involved in breathing are diffusion, perfusion, gas transport, and respiration.
input text value
What is the function of the conducting system in the respiratory system?
The conducting system, or airways, lead from the air to the lungs and are covered in a bonelike structure, allowing for minimal diffusion.
input text value
Where does perfusion take place in the respiratory system?
Perfusion takes place in the alveoli, which lie in the respiratory zone.
input text value
How many lobes are there in the left lung and right lung?
There are 2 lobes in the left lung and 3 lobes in the right lung (from a patients perspective).
input text value
What is the purpose of the pleura?
The pleura is a kind of sack with pleural fluid that keeps the lungs moist and stuck together to the thoracic wall.
input text value
What is the atmospheric pressure?
The atmospheric pressure (Patm) is set to 0 and is equal to 760 mmHg.
input text value
What is the intrapulmonary pressure?
The intrapulmonary pressure (Ppul) inside the lungs is equal to the atmospheric pressure (Patm) when there is no air flow.
