25
Hypoxemic hypoxia
reduced arterial O2 (can be caused by lack of oxygenated air, pulmonary problems, lack of ventilation-perfusion coupling)
26
Hypoxia
inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues
27
4 causes of hypoxia
- Anemic - ischemic - histotoxic - hypoxemic
28
Anemic Hypoxia
poor O2 delivery because of too few RBC's or abnormal hemoglobin
29
Ischemic Hypoxia
Blood circulation is impaired
30
Histotoxia hypoxia
the body's mitochondria are unable to use O2 (cyanide causes this)
31
Hypoxemic hypoxia
reduced arterial O2 (can be caused by lack of oxygenated air, pulmonary problems, lack of ventilation-perfusion coupling)
32
you can have _____ without ______ but if you have ______ you WILL have______
hypoxia without hypoxemia | hypoxemia you will have hypoxia
33
in what zone does gas exchange happen?
respiratory zone
34
what makes up the respiratory zone?
alveoli
35
what makes up the conducting zone?
everything besides alveoli
36
Conducting zone:
low-resistance airflow, defense against foreign material / infection, warm the air
37
what 2 things make up the trachea?
cilia and goblet cell
38
Goblet cell produce what?
mucous
39
what does smoking kill?
cilia (when they grow back ex smokers develop a cough
40
alveolar cells are responsible for what?
gas exchange
41
Type I alveolar cells are also called what?
pneumocytes
42
what do type II alveolar cells produce?
surfactant
43
why is the bronchus covered in smooth muscle?
to direct air flow
44
3 types of relexes
Foreign body reaction Voluntary control of breathing J receptors
45
Foreign body reaction
coughing and sneezing
46
Voluntary control of breathing
holding your breath or rapid breathing
47
J receptors
- in lung tissue, innervated by the vague nerve - stimulated by fluid buildup in lungs interstitial space (embolism, pulmonary edema, exercising extremely hard) - results in: dyspnea, rapid breathing, dry cough
48
Pleural sacs
- there are 2 of them, so if one is damaged the other one can still function - Thoraic wall - parietal pleura - intrapleural fluid - visceral pleura - lung
49
intrapleural fluid
lubrication fluid between pleura layers
50
Intrapleural space has relative _____ pressure to help keep lungs from collapsing in
negative | -chest wall is always pulling out, lungs are elastic and always pulling in = these forces create a negative pressure
51
Pleurisy
painful irritation / friction of the inter pleural space
52
what is pleurisy caused by:
inflammation (infection, chemical exposure) and build up of an irritant (bleeding infection)
53
Tx of pleurisy
drain fluid or decrease the inflammation, then treat source
54
Ventilation
getting oxygen into the alveoli: breathing
55
Ventilation problems
respiratory muscle paralysis; high altitude; foreign body obstruction; laryngospasm; alveolar collapse (atelectasis); asthma; airway damage (smoking)
56
Exchange
getting O2 into the blood and CO2 out of the blood
57
Exchange problems:
Pulmonary edema; pulmonary fibrosis; carbon monoxide poisoning; anemia; pulmonary embolus (oxygen comes in but theres no blood arriving to pick it up); asthma -everything rolls downhill
58
Is O2/CO2 ratio even or not?
not even, CO2 is lower
59
PO2 pressure in the air
160 mmHg
60
PCO2 pressure in the air
0.3 mmHg
61
PO2 pressure in alveoli
105 mmHg
62
PCO2 pressure in alveoli
40 mmHg
63
PO2 in pulmonary veins, left heart, systemic veins
100 mmHg
64
PCO2 in pulmonary veins, left heart, systemic veins
40 mmHg
65
PO2 in systemic veins, right heart, pulmonary arteries
40 mmHg
66
PCO2 in systemic veins, right heart, pulmonary arteries
46 mmHg
67
Transport
get oxygen to the tissue
68
transport problem:
left heart failure and many other pump failures (taxis are loaded but not moved out; arterial thrombosis; arterial bleeding; sickle cell disease
69
Exchange
get O2 from blood into tissue cells and CO2 from tissue cells into blood
70
exchange problems
peripheral edema; abnormal oxygen dissociation (acidosis or alkalosis)
71
Utilization
oxygen consumption in the tissues
72
problems with utilization
venous bleeding; sickle cell disease; shock; venous thrombosis
73
Transport of CO2
CO2 must dissolve in liquid to diffuse through plasma membranes, it also diffuses across 2 cell membranes to get to the plasma - some CO2 travels within the plasma - Some CO2 travels enters the RBC and travels bound to hemoglobin - Some CO2 travels within RBC but free from hemoglobin
74
Bicarbonate equilibrium
CO2+H2O <=> H2CO3 <=> H+ + HCO3-
75
how much CO2 travels via bicarbonate equilibrium
30%
76
why is bicarbonate so important
its a buffer | enzymes work best at pH 7.44
77
CO2 is controlled by what
the lungs
78
bicarbonate is controlled by what
kidneys
79
what 2 things buffer the blood stream
- deoxyhemoglobin | - bicarbonate buffer system
80
what controls respiration
PONS and the medulla
81
what are the 2 chemo-receptors
peripheral and central
82
peripheral chemo-receptors
- sensitive to levels of O2, H+ and high CO2 | - you respond to high levels of CO2 first
83
central chemo-receptors
- only sensitive to pH | - these are the receptors that are shut down by alcohol and drugs by suppressing the medullas respiratory pacemaker
