L16;C6 Flashcards
What is Dalton’s law?
The total pressure and sum of all partial pressures of all gases in a mixture
What is SATP at sea level?
760mmHg
How do you find PP?
Barometric pressure x [fractional]
What is Henry’s law?
amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure
What do diffusion rates depend on?
- pressure differences
- solubility of gas in fluids
PP is ____ in capillaries due to high pressure gradient
High
What does the pressure gradient cause with respect to diffusion?
It causes diffusion of O2 into and CO2 out of tissues
What is higher in tissues? Oxygenated blood or CO2?
CO2
Greater surface area= _______ diffusion
Greater
With respect to diffusion constant, gases that have high what have high diffusion constant?
Gases that have high solubility have high diffusion rate
How much of the bottom lungs are perfumed with blood?
1/3
What is poor about the top 2/3 of surface area of the lungs?
It’s is very bad at any gas exchange
Pulmonary arteries have _____mmHg of CO2
Alveolar PCO2 have _____mmHg
46
40
What does the 6mmHg difference permits comparing pulmonary and alveolar PCO2?
This permits diffusion, it is 20x greater than O2. This allows diffusion despite low gradient
PP dictates diffusion. If PP is lower, what happens to diffusion?
When PP is lower, there is less diffusion
As exercise intensity increases, you go from _____ difference to _____
Lower, higher
More O2, _____ partial pressure
Increased
What are four factors that dictate the maximum amount of O2 blood can carry?
- Based on Hb content
- Hb is 99% saturated at rest
- Lower saturation with exercise
- Less than 2% is dissolved in plasma
People with small stature allow for arterial ________ _______
Enduced Hypoximia
What does Anema do?
It decreases Hb, and decreased O2 Capacity
For every 1mmHg increase, _____ O2 dissolves in plasma
0.003ml
Where is there higher saturation of Hb in the body? Why? Where is it lower?
There is higher saturation in the arteries and lungs so it can be carried and used. It is lower in the muscles
Explain the off loading portion of Hb saturation curve
This is where smaller changes in PP such as metabolism increases which results in large changes in saturation
Explain the unloading phase off the curve
This is where saturation changes with small amounts of PO2 allowing for O2 to unload to tissues easier.
