BECOM 2 Exam #2 Flashcards
(191 cards)
- Pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
- Goblet cells
- Brush cells
- Small granule cells
- Basal cells
- filter and move foreign particles
- mucous production
- chemosensory receptors
- diffuse neuroendocrine system
- Mitotically active progenitor cells give rise to the above
Infant Respiration distress syndrome
leading cause of death for premature babies
-incomplete differentiation of type II alveolar cells leading to a deficiency in surfactant
Dust cells
alveolar macrophages
- Phagocytose erythrocytes and particulate matter that has gone all the way into the alveoli
- can get caught up in lungs (more in older ind. or people that work in saw mills, heat homes w wood, etc.)
- Found in alveoli and interalveolar septa
Emphysema
Dilation and permanent enlargement of bronchioles causing pulmonary acini and alveolar cell loss
Pulmonary hypertension
elevated pulmonary pressure resulting in pulmonary vessels thickening and narrowing airways
bronchial pneumonia
neutrophils infiltrate airway lumen
asthma
epithelial congestion, smooth muscle contraction, lumen constriction
pleuritis
inflammation of pleura
route to lungs (backwards for microciliary escalator)
nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles, {resp bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveoli}
most likely lung cancer for non smoker and where it arises
adenocarcinoma
arise from bronchioles and alveoli epithelium
where does squamous cell carcinoma lung cancer arise
epithelium of bronchi
cystic fibrosis
dysfunction of micociliary escalator
transairway pressure formula
Pta = Paw (airway) - Ppl (pleural)
transpulmonary pressure formula
PL = PA (alveolar) - Ppl (pleural)
Force vital capacity (FVC) vs forced expiratory volume (FEV)
FVC: max inspiration to max expiration
FEV: the amount of volume produced from max inspiration to 1 sec
FEV1/FVC ratio
PEF
FEF25-75
75%-80%
peak expiratory flow
is the average FEF rate over the middle 50% of the FVC
oxygen hemoglobins content
1.36 ml/g hemoglobin
CO Hb shift?
anemia shift?
left and dec line
dec line not shift
Carbonic anhydrase
enzyme H2O + CO2 = H2CO3
pulmonary edema causes
- inc hydrostatic pressure (pulmonary hypertension)
- inc capillary permeability -> inc protein in interstitial space
- inc surface tension (dec alveoli)
- inc plasma oncotic pressure (e.g. hemodilution with saline infusion)
left vs right oxygen shift
left: higher affinity for oxygen
right: lower affinity to for oxygen
Functional residual capacity (FRC) during standing up and laying supine
FRC increases as one sits up because when laying down the diaphragm pushes on the lungs and when standing up the apex of the lungs pulls down increasing negative pressure pulling more air into the lungs
Residual volume during COPD
Increases bc during COPD an individuals lungs become less elastic meaning they can take in more air but can’t push that air out
Distensibility
describes the ease at which the lungs can be stretched/inflated
-dec inflation
