Vasomotor Control and Structure of Respiratory System

?
Vasomotor Control
The control center in the medulla oblongata responsible for cardiac output distribution
1 of 10
Vasomotor Tone
The partial state of smooth muscle constriction in the arterial walls
2 of 10
The SA Node's Activity
Response to exercise: release of adrenaline, increased sympathetic stimulation via accelerator nerve, increased firing rate. increased HR
3 of 10
Alveoli
Clusters of tiny air sacs covered in a dense network of capillaries which together serve as the external site for gaseous exchange
4 of 10
Gaseous Exchange
The movement of oxygen from the alveoli into the blood stream and carbon dioxide from the blood stream into the alveoli
5 of 10
Hemoglobin
An iron rich globular protein in red blood cells which can chemically combine with four O2 molecules to form oxyhaemoglobin
6 of 10
Oxygen
The essential gas required for aerobic energy production in the muscle cells
7 of 10
Carbon Dioxide
The waste product of aerobic energy production in the muscle cells
8 of 10
Breathing Rate
The number of inspirations or expirations (breaths) per minute
9 of 10
Tidal Volume
The volume of air inspired or expired per breath
