final rcp Flashcards
(249 cards)
Ventilation
process of moving gas into and out of the lungs
Respiration
process of moving oxygen and carbon dioxide
Respiratory System
The upper airways Chest wall respiratory muscle the lower airways pulmonary blood vessels supporting nerves lymphatics
Sniffing position
extending neck and pulling chin anteriorly
Glottis
narrowest part of the adult upper airway
characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea
obesity fatigue snoring short neck daytime sleepiness pharyngeal muscles relax when we sleep
imbalance between mucus water content and airway humidity of the mucous sheet
thick, dehydrated
infected
immobile
impairment of the mucociliary clearnance system
air pollution
dehydration
smoking
neutrophillic inflammation of the airways
cystic fibrosis
COPD
asthma
smokers
BTPS
body temperature 37C
pressure 760
water saturation at AH 44mg/L
water vapor saturation 47mg/L
anatomical shunt
deoxygenated blood from the pulmonary arteries mixes with oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins 1%-2%
Purpose of surfactant
reduces surface tension
reduces work of breathing
increases lung compliance
ACM
Type 2 cells Type 1 Cells basement membrane interstitial space capillary endothelial cell plasma erythrocyte
impact of anatomical shunt
systemic arterial blood can never have the same partial pressure of oxygen as alveolar gas, gives rise to the normal PAO2
natural mechanism of brochodilation
neurotransmitter: norepinephrine
B2 receptors located
airway smooth muscle
vascular smooth muscle
submucosal glands
airway epithelium
parasympathetic
increase viscosity
thick secretions
sympathetic
thin, watery secretions
Phrenic nerve
diaphragm innervated by somatic innervation
primary muscles of quiet breathing
diaphragm
parasternal intercostals
scalenes
assessory muscle of inspiration and expiration
scalenes - inspiration
sternomastoids - inspiration
pectoralis major - inspiration
abdominals - expiration
thoracic cavity enlargement
the downward movement of the diaphragm
causes the flattening of the diaphragm
if the lungs fail to empty normally during exhalation
emphysema
High compliance low elasticity low recoil force air trapping pursed lip breathing longer expiratory time
