What happens if the neural connections between the pneumotaxic center and apneustic center are severed?
Decreased pulmonary and alveolar ventilation.
How does ventilation occur?
Pulmonary ventilation occurs as a person inhales and exhales air and air is exchanged between the atmosphere and the alveoli of the lungs. During this, the pulmonary capillary blood gains oxygen and loses carbon dioxide.
What determines in which direction carbon dioxide and oxygen will diffuse in the lungs?
pressure difference between carbon dioxide and oxygen level between pulmonary artery and alveolar space
What is the difference between external ventilation and internal ventilation?
External respiration, the process by which gases are exchanged between the atmosphere and the pulmonary loop of circulationWhereas,Internal respiration: the is the gaseous exchange between the blood and tissue ( and also cells)
What is the difference between pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary sclerosis?
They are essentially the same.
What is the difference between COPD and pulmonary fibrosis?
what is the differencebetween copd and pulmonary fibrosis
What is the significant difference between the attached gingiva and the alveolar mucosa is that the alveolar mucosa is?
not keratinized and, therefore, is more delicate than the gingival tissue
What is the difference between ventilation and gaseous exchange?
Gaseous exchange is a natural process, ventilation is a forced process.
What is alveolar dead space?
Alveolar dead space refers to the portion of the air in the lungs that does not participate in gas exchange because it does not come into contact with the pulmonary capillaries. This can occur when there is impaired blood flow to certain areas of the lungs, leading to ventilation without perfusion. Alveolar dead space can contribute to ventilation-perfusion mismatch and can impact the efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs.
Which part of the respiratory system consists of air sacs with capillaries?
That sounds like a general description of the LUNGS.The lungs are loaded with pulmonary alveoli: small outpouchings along the walls of the alveolar sacs and alveolar ducts; through them, gas exchange takes place between alveolar gas and pulmonary capillary blood.
What is the difference between pulmonary system and coronary system?
Coronary or cardio is blood flow. Pulmonary or respiratory is breathing.
What is the difference between ventilation and breathing?
breathing is when you can breath yourself without the help of anything however ventilation is when you need the help of something to breath.....
