Respiratory System — Flashcards

Type _____ pneumocytes are responsible for synthesis of pulmonary surfactant

The immediate reflex response of J receptor stimulation is _____ followed by tachypnea, bradycardia, and hypotension (pulmonary chemoreflex)

In zone _____ of the lung, blood flow (Q) is highest

In zone 3 of the lung, blood flow is driven by the difference between _____ and venous pressure

Elastic recoil is _____ proportional to compliance and directly proportional to elastance

Central sleep apnea may be also caused by delayed detection / response to changes in _____ resulting in cyclic (cheyne-stokes) breathing

Surfactant decreases _____ in the lung, preventing collapse of alveolar air sacs after expiration

To compensate for reduced lung compliance, obese patients have _____-shallow breathing

Hint: rate

In _____ lung disease, the flow volume loops shifts to the *left

The _____ center is located in the lower pons and stimulates inspiration
