29
Q

describe FVC, FRC, TLC, RV and FEV1 in restrictive diseases

A

dec FVC, FRC, TLC, RV, FEV1

30
Q

describe what happens to pressure and blood flow in lungs during inspiration

A

intrapleural pressure falls
VR and right ventricular output increases
pulmonary vessels expand, volume increases
VR to L heart and output decrease
systemic arterial arterial O decreases causing heart rate to increase

31
Q

describe what happens to pressure and blood flow in lungs during expiration

A
intrapleural P increases (less negative)
VR and righ ventricle output decreases
pulmonary vessels constrict
return of blood and output increase
BP increases causing HR to dec
32
Q

What is difference of PAO2 and PaO2

A

A- alveolar

a- systemic arterial

33
Q

DEscribe flow of CO2 and O2 in lungs

A

CO2 diffuses outwards faster from greater solubility

O2 diffuses inward

34
Q

How do we calculate diffusing capacity of lung

A

measure CO uptake

35
Q

how is diffusing capacity changed in emphysema and fibrosis

A

decreased

36
Q

A Hb level of 10 is significatn for what?

A

anemia

37
Q

Hb level of 20 is significant for what

A

polycythemia

38
Q

O2 concentration calculation

A

(1.39xHbx (Sat/100) ) + 0.003Po2

39
Q

What can cause a left shift in the Hb-O2 dissociation curve (more O2 bound to Hb)

A

decreased temp
decrease PCO2
decreased 2,3-DPG
decreased H

40
Q

what can cause a right shift in the Hb-O2 dissociation curve (less O2 bound to Hb)

A

increase temp, increased PCO2
increased 2,3 DPG
icnreased H+

41
Q

2,3 DPG is produced in response to what conditions

A

ischemia

42
Q

what occurs with deoxygenated Hb and CO2

A

form carbaminohemoglobin

so deoxy blood carries more CO2 for a given PCO2 than oxygenated

43
Q

Which dissociation curve is more linear in physiologic conditions
O2 or CO2

A

CO2

44
Q

where does most of CO2 end up

A

47
Q

what are the sensors of ventilation

A

48
Q

What are the medullary centers for respiration and explain wach one

A

Ventral respiratory group which is primarily expiratory drive to intercosals and abdominal muscles

49
Q

What are the pontine centers for respiration

A

apneustic center- keeps inspiration in the β€œon” position

penumotaxic- facilitaties inspiratory off switchign
