In this chapter's tools
Lab practical image sets 5
- Upper airway (sagittal)
- Larynx
- Bronchial tree and lungs
- Alveolus and respiratory membrane
- Histology station: trachea and lung
Prediction scenarios 7
- Level 2 hyperventilation
- Level 2 pneumothorax
- Level 4 high altitude, first hours and after acclimatization
- Level 2 an asthma attack
- Level 3 carbon monoxide poisoning
- Level 3 exercise
- Level 2 emphysema
Pathways 4
- Air to the alveoli and back
- Inspiration: nerve signal to airflow
- Oxygen from air to a tissue cell
- Carbon dioxide from a tissue cell to air
Feedback loops 2
- Blood carbon dioxide and pH (chemoreceptor loop)
- Low blood oxygen (peripheral chemoreceptor loop)
Graphs 4
- Oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curve with shift factors
- Lung volumes and capacities (spirogram)
- Pressures during one breath
- PO2 and PCO2 along the path
Calculators 1
- Minute and alveolar ventilation
Comparison tables 6
- Conducting vs respiratory zone
- Type I vs type II alveolar cells
- Obstructive vs restrictive disease
- External vs internal respiration
- Central vs peripheral chemoreceptors
- Emphysema vs chronic bronchitis vs asthma
