Quiz 4: Pulm, Reprod, GI, MSK Flashcards
(123 cards)
lung anatomy
right lung is slightly larger with 3 lobes
left lung has 2 lobes
type 1 pneumocytes
line alveolar surface
form air-blood barrier
type 2 pneumocytes
secrete surfactant (a detergent that reduces surface tension to prevent the lungs from collapsing)
type 3 pneumocytes
phagocytose things missed by cilia and mucus
alveoli are lined by
pneumocytes (type 1,2,3)
for an O2 molecule to reach Hgb…
the O2 molecule must pass through 5 cell membranes to reach the Hgb within an erythrocyte
inspiration
air enters trachea
lungs expand
chest wall moves out
diaphragm moves down
muscle contraction (energy expenditure)
expiration
lungs recoil
chest wall moves in
diaphragm moves up
air exits
alveolar ventilation calculation
Va= (Vt - Vd) x RR
tracheoesophageal fistula
hole between trachea and esophagus in baby (when the hole btw the trachea and foregut in fetus does not close fully)
lungs are derived from
endoderm in fetus
hypoventilation
insufficient ventilation
blood becomes too acidic
from morphine, obesity, sleep apnea
hyperventilation
overventilation
an issue bc blowing off too much CO2, blood becomes alkalotic
from pain attacks, anxiety, brain stem injury
hypoxemia
low arterial O2
from heart defects, pulmonary shunts
hypoxia
low tissue O2
from anemia, CO poisoning
pulmonary hypertension
high pressure in lungs
from tricuspid and pulmonary valve insufficiency (right heart sided issues)
cheyne strokes respiration
patho: loss of coordination from cerebellum and medulla oblongata
signs: rapid breaths w periods of apnea
etiology: death bed (as cerebral cortex dies before medulla)
bronchitis
“blue bloater”
signs: productive cough, prolonged expiration, cyanosis, dyspnea, polycythemia (blood thickens as tissue becomes hypoxic, think epo stim)
etiology: right heart failure=pulmonary edema + fluid accumulation
asthma
inflammation and narrowing of airways
bronchospams occur
eventually.. fibrotic deposition
neurons that communicate w medulla oblongata
baroreceptors
proprioceptors
pulmonary stretch receptors
aortic and carotid chemoreceptors
croup
cough in children
emphysema
alveolar destruction
loss of elastic recoil
pink puffer (barrel chest)
imbalance btw proteases and antiproteases
chronic bronchitis
bronchial edema
cystic fibrosis
an autosomal recessive disorder
patho: defective epithelial chloride ion transport, effects chromosome 7, abnormal expression of protein CFTR, decreases mucociliary action, increased adherence of bacteria, increased neutrophils.. due to malfunction of an epithelial ion pump
manifestations: mucus plugging, chronic cough, infection, inflammation, severe recurrent pneumonia, causes pancreatic insufficiency
diagnosis: chloride sweat test (will have increased chloride concentration)
treatment: pulmonary health and nutrition, releasing mucus
