Exchange of gas Flashcards

1
Q

Respiration

What is Px.

A

“P” represents the partial pressure and “x” represent the gas.

Air pressure is the sum of partial pressures of the gases.

NOTE: Gases diffuse from areas where it’s partial pressure is higher to areas where it’s partial pressure is lower in the body.

Q

Respiration

-is the diffusion of O2 from air in the alveoli of the lungs to blood in the pulmonary capillaries and the diffusion of CO2 in the opposite direction. Occurs only in the lungs.

-Are respiration of the lungs converts’ deoxygenated (low-oxygen) blood that comes from the right side of the heart to oxygenated (high-oxygen) blood that returns to the left side of the heart.

A

Q

Respiration

1) Blood picks up O2 from alveolar air and unloads CO2.

2) Commonly called an “exchange” but each gas moves based on its partial pressure, moving from higher to lower.

A

Q

Respiration

The partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) in alveolar air is 105 mmHg (at rest). The PO2 in the pulmonary capillaries is 40 mmHg.

No Answer: Fact

A

This allows diffusion into the capillaries

Q

Respiration

PCO2 of deoxygenated blood is 45 mmHg (at rest) compared to alveolar air – PCO2 40 mmHg.

Exhalation keeps the alveolar pressure of PCO2 at 40 mmHg.

Oxygenated blood returning to the left side of the heart has a PCO2 of 40 mmHg.

No Answer: Fact

A

Thus, CO2 diffuses from an area of higher pressure (deoxygenated blood in a pulmonary capillary) to an area of lower pressure (alveoli).

Q

Respiration

PO2 of blood in systemic capillaries is higher (100 mmHg) than PO2 in tissue cells (40 mmHg), at rest. Partial Pressure is lower due to cell’s use of O2 to produce ATP.

No Answer: Fact

A

Oxygen diffuses out of capillaries into tissue cells and systemic capillary blood PO2 decreases.

Q

Tissue cells constantly produce CO2

. 1) The PCO2 of cells is 45 mmHg, at rest. This is higher than systemic capillaries PCO2 (40 mmHg).

No Answer: Fact

A

CO2, thus, diffuses out of tissue cells, through interstitial fluid into systemic capillaries until PCO2 in the blood increases.

Q

What percent of oxygen is bound to hemoglobin hgb in RBC’s.

A

98.5%

17
Q

Heme in hemoglobin contains contains how many ions of iron?

Each binds a molecule of O2.

A

4

18
Q

wtf is this

Hb + O2 > Hb-O2 (oxyhemoglobin).

A

Oxygen and deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) bind in a reversible reaction to form Oxyhemoglobin (Hb):

19
Q

When blood PO2 is low, red blood cells do this to oxygen?

A

hemoglobin releases O2.

-diffuses from blood plasma through interstitial fluid in to the tissue cells.

20
Q

Other factors influence O2 release from hemoglobin: 3 of them

A

Carbon Dioxide
Acidity
Temperature

21
Q

Approximately what percent of CO2 dissolves in blood plasma.

A

7%

22
Q

Approximately what percent of CO2 is bound to amino acids:

A

23%

23
Q

Amino acids is the most prevalent protein is hemoglobin inside the RBC’s. CO2 binds the hemoglobin forming what?

A

Carbaminohemoglobin (Hb-CO2)

24
Q

The greatest percentage of CO2, 70%, is transported in the plasma as

A

Bicarbonate ions (HCO3).

25
Q
A

Transport of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide

26
Q

What percent is coming in and being used 02?

A

75% diaphram
25% intercostal

70% is utilized
30% is in dead space
