Q

how is SURFACE TENSION CREATED in lungs

A

H2O MOLECULES ATTRACTED to EACH OTHER

  • molecules in FLUID more attracted to each other than in gas

ALVEOLAR INNER SURFACE must be coated in (tissue) FLUID so O2 DISSOLVES and passes
- allows FASTER DIFFUSION (gas exchange)

as exhale alveolar become closer together so fluid attract to each other and can cause Alveoli to COLLAPSE

PRIMORDIAL ALVEOLI
- SMALL BULGES on WALLS of RESPIRATORY BRONCHIOLES and ALVEOLAR SACS

59
Q

SIZE INCREASE of LUNGS POSTNATALLY is due to..

A

2X UMBILICAL ARTERIES

74
Q

in FETAL CIRCULATION what happens as Oxygenated blood from LEFT UMBILICAL VEIN PASSES LIVER

Gives off SOME of the oxygenated blood

75
Q

FETAL CIRCULATION what allows BLOOD to PASS LUNGS/PULMONARY TRUNK into the (Ascending) AORTA

A

DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS

76
Q

FETAL CIRCULATION role of DUCUTS VENOSUS

A

PASSAGE over LIVER into INFERIOR VENA CAVA

77
Q

FETAL CIRCULATION role of DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS

A

allows blood to PASS LUNGS/PULMONARY TRUNK and enter AORTA

78
Q

what happen to the DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS and DUCTUS VENOSUS at BIRTH

A

CONTRACT - limit blood flow
and quickly FIBROSED, CLOSE UP and become Fibrous Tissue

79
Q

how is PRESSURE in LEFT and RIGHT ATRIUM in FETUS and why

A

HIGHER PRESSURE in RIGHT ATRIUM than left

  • no blood coming back from lungs into left atrium
  • low pressure
  • Valves open
    so higher pressure in right
80
Q

at BIRTH when baby takes FIRST BREATH how does the PRESSURE of LEFT and RIGHT ATRIUM CHANGE

A

HIGHER PRESSURE in LEFT ATRIUM

  • Lungs rapidly EXPAND and create area of LOW PRESSURE
  • Blood into Lungs and return to LEFT ATRIUM (higher pressure)

therefore VALVE CANNOT OPEN (SHUT)

81
Q

in FETUS which ATRIUM has HIGHER PRESSURE

A

RIGHT

82
Q

after BIRTH which ATRIUM has HIGHER PRESSURE

A

LEFT
