Q

What is pulmonary ventilation?

A

inspiration/expiration
depends of volume changes in thoracic cavity, volume change leads to pressure change

21
Q

What is expirations?

A

Inspiratory muscles relax, thoracic volume decreases, lungs recoil, air flows out of lungs down pressure gradient until (Ppul=Patm)
Forced inspirations can occur during exercise or with pulmonary disease, accessory muscles activated to increase thoracic cage size

22
Q

What are alveoli?

A

Terminal bronchioles feed into respiratory bronchioles, lead into alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs

23
Q

What is the respiratory membrane?

A

Blood air barrier, consists of alveolar and capillary walls along basement membranes
allows gas exchange by simple diffusion
single layer simple squamous epithelium, scattered cuboidal, pores equalize pressure

24
Q

What is dead space?

A

Does not contrivbute to gas exchange, air remains in passageway, or space occupied by non functional aveloi

25
Q

External Respiration

A

Diffusion gases between blood and lungs

26
Q

Internal Respiration

A

Diffusion of gases between blood and tissues
Tissue Po2 is lower then in arterial blood, oxygen moves from blood to tissues
Tissue Pco2 is higher than in arterial blood, CO2 moves from tissues into blood
Venous blood returning to heart is 40 mm Hg Po2 and 45 mm Hg Pco2

26
Q

3 factors affecting external respiration gas exchange?

A

Partial pressure gradients and gas solubility, thickness and surface area of respiratory membrane, ventilationn-perfusion coupling

27
Q

Action of the diaphram

A

when diaphragm contracts, it moves inferiorly and flattens out, increase thoracic volume

28
Q

Action of the intercoastals

A

when external intercostals contract, rib cage is lifted up and out, increased thoracic volume

29
Q

3 factors that influence air passage?

A

Airway resistance, Alevolar surface tensoin, lung compliance

30
Q

Pneumonia/ ephysema

A

Pneumonia: lungs become waterlogged, thickness of respiratory membrane increases, tissues become oxygen deprived
Emphysema: alveoli walls break down, surface area decreases

31
Q

2 ways molecular O2 is carried?

A

1.5% dissolved in plasma
98.5% loosely bound to each Fe of hemoglobin
(deoxyhemoglobin) created
As O2 binds, Hb changes shape, increasing its affinity for O2

32
Q

Influence of Po2 on hemoglobin saturation

A

In systemic arterial blood Po2 is 100 mm Hg, Hb 98% saturated
In systemic venous blood Po2 is 40 mm Hb, Hb is 75% saturated

33
Q

Other factors that affect O binding to HB (4)

A

Temp (heat decreases affinity), pH, Pco2, concentration of biphosphoglycerate
Declining blood pH and increasing Pco2 cause HB-O2 bond to weaken

34
Q

Three forms of CO2 transport?

A

Dissolved in plasma as Pco2 (7 to 10%)
Chemically bound to hemoglobin (20%)
As bicarbonate ions in plasma (around 70%)

35
Q

What do O and CO2 bind to?

A

Most O2 attached to Heme, most CO2 attached to globin

36
Q

Why is so much Co2 converted to bicarbonate

A

In systemic capillaries, after HCO3 is created, it quickly diffuses from RBCs into plasma
In pulmonary capillaries, the process occurs in reverse
HCO3 moves into RBCs while Cl (transits through) RBCs into plasma
HCO3 binds with H to form H2CO3, split by carbonic anhydrase into CO2 and water
CO2 diffuses into alveoli

37
Q

What is the haldane effect?

A

Amount of CO2 transported is affected by Po2
The lower the Po2 and hemoglobin O2 saturation, the more CO2 can be carried in blood
Encourages CO2 exchange at tissues and at lungs

38
Q

Carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system helps…

A

blood resist changes in pH

39
Q

What is hypoxia?

A

inadequate O2 delivery to tissues, can result in cyanosis and is classified by cause

40
Q

Different types of hypoxia (5)

A

Anemic hypoxia, Ischemic hypoxia, Histotoxic hypoxia
Hypoxemic hypoxis, Carbon monoxide poisioning

41
Q

How does breathing affect blood

A

Shallow breathing increases CO2, drop in pH
Deep breathing decreases CO2, rise in pH

42
Q

Neural controls for respiration?

A

Neurons in reticular formation of medulla and pons
Medullary respiratory centers: Ventral respiratory group and dorsal respiratory group

43
Q

Ventral respiratory group?

A

network of neurons from spine to pons
Sets up eupnea, normal respiratory rate and rhythm
Inspiratory neurons excite inspiratory muscles via phrenic and intercostal nerves
Rate determined by how long center is active

44
Q

Dorsal group?

A

Network of neurons near cranial nerve IX
Integrates input from peripheral stretch/ chemoreceptors, sends info to vrg neurons

45
Q

Pontine respiratory centers?

A

Neurons modify activity of VRG to smooth transition between inspiration/expiration
Transmit impulses to VRG that fine-tune breathing rhythms

46
Q

3 factors that control respiration?

A

Chemicals, Higher brain centers, reflexes

47
Q

Chemicals?

A

Levels of chemicals sensed by central and peripheral chemoreceptors
If blood levels rise, CO2 accumlates in brain and becomes carbonic acid
Causes drop in pH, increased H stimulates chemoreceptors
Respiration increases and speeds up
Influence of PO2:
Peripheral chemoreceptors sense arterial O2 levels
Substantial drop in arterial PO2 to stimulate increased ventilation
Slight effect on ventilation because of huge O2 reservoir bound to Hb

48
Q

Higher brain centers?

A

Hypothalamic controls: act through limbic system to modify rate/ depth of respiration
Cortical controls: direct signals from cerebral motor cortex that bypass medullary controls

49
Q

Reflexes?

A

Pulmonary irritant reflexes: receptors in bronchioles respond to irritants, promote construction of air passages
Inflation reflex: Hering-Breuer reflex, stretch receptors in pleurae and airways stimulated by lung inflation, send inhibtoary signals to end inhalation/ allow expiration
