Chapter 23 respiratory part 3 Flashcards
optimal gas exchange requires the coupling of _______ and _______
ventilation and perfusion
What the relationship between alveolar ventilation and blood flow to the alveoli called
ventilation perfusion coupling
What is the amount of gas reaching alveoli
ventilation
What is the blood flow in pulmonary capillaries
perfusion
What is blood that is not completely oxygenated called
shunted blood
What occurs due to deoxygenated blood from bronchi/bronchioles mixing blood in pulmonary veins
anatomical shunt
What occurs from a combo of anatomical shunt and incompletely oxygenated blood from alveoli (1-2% of CO)
physiological shunt
What can occur is there is insufficient blood flood to the alveoli and insufficient air flow
disruption
Disruption from less blood flow can occur from (2)
Post MI (decrease CO)
body position
(standing = increase gas exchange)
Disruption from less ventilation can occur from (2)
pulmonary capillaries not fully oxygenated (asthma attack)
pneumonia/pulmonary edema (fluid build up)
Ventilation-perfusion coupling is controlled by what mechanism
local autoregulatory mechanism
Partial pressure of oxygen, the amount of O2 dissolved in the blood controls perfusion via change in __________
arterial diameter
partial pressure of CO2, amount of CO2 within arterial or venous blood controls ventilation via change in __________
bronchiole diameter
What is used by cells to make ATP from glucose
O2
What percentage of O2 is bound to Hgb within RBCs (heme portion =carry up to 4 O2 molecules)
98.5%
What percentage of O2 is dissolved in plasma?
1.5%
What is formed as a by-product of breakdown of glucose when cells use O2 to produce ATP
CO2
What percentage of CO2 is converted to bicarbonate ion (HCO3)
70%
What percent of CO2 is bound is Hgb within RBCs
23%
What percent of CO2 is dissolved in plasma
7%
What is a protein in the RBC that transports O2 and CO2 in the blood
hemoglobin
There is tight regulation of CO2 in the blood because excessive CO2 can lead to what?
acidic blood (low pH)
What binds to alpha and beta globin chains of Hgb
CO2
What effect describes the relationship between the amount of oxygen bound to Hgb and the amount of CO2 bound
(less O2 bound means more CO2 can bind)
Haldane effect
