Q

explain emphysema

A

cigarette smoking causes macrophages, proteolytic enzymes, destory elastic fibers, kills cells, destory alevolar walls, less surface area. becomes harder to breath

what is Vt

A

tidal volume ml or l/breath

24
Q

what is alveaolar ventilation equation?

A

f x (Vt-Vd) or VdotE - Vd

25
Q

what is alevolar ventilation for humans?

A

5l/min

26
Q

for a swedish man on a bike, what two things increase?

A

his tidal volume and his alveolar volume

27
Q

equation of R in relation to radius

A

K x L/r^4

28
Q

does turbulance happen when there is more or less ressitance present?

A

more

29
Q

laminar happens when there is more or less ressitance?

A

less

30
Q

what active process matched V dot and Q dot?

A

hypoxic vasoconstriction

31
Q

does hypoxic vasoconstriction depend on nervous system?

A

no

32
Q

what does high altitude cause?

A

pulmonary vasocontriction, right ventrical hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, perfusion ar hgiher blood pressures in pulmonary artery

33
Q

is the lung harder or easier to swell up in salt?

A

easy

34
Q

what opposes inflation

A

concluded surface tension

35
Q

what is hysteresis?

A

surface tension force smaller on delfation and inflation…. forces more on inflation

36
Q

what has greater surface tension, inflation or deflation?

A

inflation

37
Q

what is the equation for compiance?

A

change of volume for change in pressure

38
Q

law of laplace?

A

P= 2T/r

39
Q

P units

A

N/m^2

40
Q

T units (tension)

A

N/M

41
Q

IF THERE ARE TWO SIDES WHAT IS THELAPLACE?

A

P=4T/r

42
Q

does a smaller or larger bubble have more tension and curveture and pressure

A

smaller

43
Q

what is asterlectasis?

A

when smaller alveolar collapses into the other

44
Q

pulmonary surfactant covers what

A

alveolar surfaces

45
Q

surfactant is made of what?

A

phospholipids, cholesterol and protein

46
Q

surfactant does what

A

reduces surface tension of smaller aleolous and make it equal to surface tension of larger

47
Q

what would be used when talking about alevoli (equation?

A

P=2T/r

48
Q

explain infant respiratory distress syndrome?

A

baby does not produce surfactants so alveaoli collapse. can be lethal. spray synthetic surfactant

49
Q

what makes the surfactant?

A

TYpe two cell

50
Q

two other types of jobs for the surfactant?

A

anti-glue and fluid balance in lung

51
Q

what does anti-glue characteristic of surfactant do?

A

prevents adhesion of epithelial surfaces

52
Q

inspiration of lizards cause what?

A

tissue pulled tight

53
Q

expiration in lizards causes what ?

A

tissue is compressed

54
Q

what makes inflation easier and prevents over inflation at high lung volumes?

A

surfactant

55
Q

does surfactant aid in adhesiveness?

A

no anti-adhesive

56
Q

what aids immunity of the lung?

A

surfactant
