28
Q

What is the function of the internal intercostals

A

Pulls ribs downward
helps with expiration

29
Q

Where does the diaphragm originate

A

xiphoid around rib 7-12 inner surface and posteriorly at L1-L3

30
Q

What happens to the diaphragm on inspiration

A

flattens to expand the thoracic cavity

31
Q

What can limit movement of the diaphragm

A

tight clothing
pregnancy
obesity
edema

32
Q

What are the pleural layers

A

parietal pleural
intrapleural space
visceral pleura
lung parenchyma

33
Q

What is the intrapleural pressure

A

-4 to -10mmHg

34
Q

What is the alveoli and barometric pressure

A

0mmHg

35
Q

As volume of air in the alveoli increases, what happens to the pressure

A

the pressure decreases

*that net negative pressure will cause air to be pulled into the alveoli to equal things out

36
Q

What muscles are involved with forced expiration

A

intercostals and abdominal

37
Q

How many alveoli do you have at birth

A

25 million

38
Q

How many alveoli do adults have

A

300 million

39
Q

What allows for passage of air between alveoli

A

Pores of Kohn

40
Q

What are the different types of alveoli

A

Type 1: squamous cells
Type 2
Alveolar macrophage

41
Q

What do type 1 alveoli do

A

most common alveoli
provides structure

42
Q

What do type 2 alveoli do

A

secrete surfactant

43
Q

What is surfactant

A

lipoprotein that coats the inner lining of the alveoli to prevent them from collapsing on themselves

44
Q

When does surfactant get made

A

around 20wks

45
Q

What is surfactants job

A

to reduce surface tension within the alveoli

46
Q

What is pulmonary compliance

A

how much the pulmonary cavity can accommodate to changing thoracic volume during respiration

47
Q

What properties make up pulmonary compliance

A

elasticity of the lungs
elasticity of the chest wall
surface tension (surfactant)

48
Q

How do you measure compliance

A

compliance = Lung volume /
pressure

49
Q

What does it mean if there is decreased compliance

A

decreased ability for the required pressure gradients to form

50
Q

What disease processes cause decrease lung compliance

A

Pulmonary fibrosis
pulmonary edema
obstructive lung disease
decreased surfactant
obesity
aging

51
Q

What determines vasoconstriction and vasodilation in lungs

A

humoral and autonomic system

52
Q

What will trigger vasoconstriction in the lung

A

Hypoxia

53
Q

Why is vasoconstriction during hypoxia important

A

allows for shunting of blood to the more aerated areas within the lung

54
Q

What happens if the entire lung becomes vasoconstrictor

A

pulmonary HTN

55
Q

How do you determine ventilation

A

ventilatory rate x volume per breath

56
Q

What is the difference between perfusion and ventilation

A

Ventilation = physical act of breathing

Perfusion= oxygen throughout the body

57
Q

Where does gas exchange occur

A

alveolocapillary membrane
*capillary beds abutting alveolus

58
Q

What occurs during gas exchange

A

O2 is released down the concentration gradient and into the demanding tissue

The O2 can then be used for cellular metabolism = ATP production

59
Q

Through cellular metabolism… what do cells create

A

carbonic acid

60
Q

What is the gas form of carbonic acid

A

carbon dioxide

61
Q

What is the Haldane effect

A

The left shifted. Holds onto oxygen longer

62
Q

What is the Bohr effect

A

The right shift. Gets rid of oxygen quickly

63
Q

What is dead space

A

Volume of air that does not participate in the gas exchange

64
Q

What is anatomic dead space

A

conducting airways

65
Q

What is alveolar dead space

A

non-perfused alveoli

66
Q

What is Q

A

perfusion

67
Q

How do you calculate perfusion

A

cardiac output = HR x SV

68
Q

How do you calculate ventilation

A

Tidal volume - dead space x RR

*Amount of air participating in gas exchange and the rate at which is does so

69
Q

What is a V / Q mismatch

A

When either ventilation or perfusion is disrupted so there is not good gas exchange
