Q

What is residual volume?

A

Q

How does the pons know to increase the breathing rate?

A
  1. Depends on o2 levels and co2 level
  2. Will monitor pco2
    *Pc02 will directly predict the o2 binding levels of hemoglobin

Q

If there is an increase in PCO2 what will happen?

A

The pons will increase the breathing rate
*then the medulla will increase respiratory rate

Q

What is the purpose of the type I pneumocytes?

Make up the respiratory membrane
*Make up the functional walls of the alveolars

25
What is surfactant?
Lines the inner part of the alveolar to prevent the tubes from sticking from each other
26
If there is a right shift what does that mean?
Decreased affinity *delivering more O2 to tissues
27
If there is a left shift what does that mean?
increased affinity *delivering less O2 to tissues
28
As O2 increases what does that mean for the hemoglobin?
As O2 increases in the blood stream more and more O2 will be bound to individual hemoglobins
29
What are the vocal folds made of?
Bands of connective tissue
30
How do vocal folds generate sound?
By rubbing against each other
31
During talking how are the vocal folds?
Closed *bc they need to rub against each other
32
What will create a phoneme?
The tongue and teeth positioning
33
What is the responsibility of the tongue?
1. Speech production 2. Direct food to the chewing surfaces of the teeth
34
What are the front teeth responsible for?
Cutting and slicing
35
What are the back teeth used for?
Grinding
36
Where is the epiglottis located?
At the back of the tongue
37
What is the epiglottis made of?
Connective tissue
38
If food goes into the laryngeal space what can happen?
You can choke
39
What is the function of the epiglottis?
To cover over the larynx during swallowing to prevent food from getting stuck in the respiratory tract
40
Are the respiratory disease medical emergencies?
Many of them are not medical emergencies
41
Why aren’t antibiotics useful for a viral infection?
1. Short, and no proofreading enzymes 2. Short replication
42
What lines the sinuses?
Pseudo stratified columnar ciliated epithelium with goblet cells
43
What creates pus?
Dead bacteria and dead WBC
44
What is sinusitis?
Results from infection (viral) if the swelling of the mucus membranes allows bacteria to flourish
45
What are lower respiratory tract infections?
Infection or inflammation of the lung parenchyma that includes 1. Small tubes that do not have cartilage on them or alveolar components
46
What is bronchiolitis?
RSV-a myxovirus *can kill infants *can progress into pneumonia
47
What is lobar pneumonia?
1. All of one or more lobes *streptococcus pneumoniae: high fever
48
What. Is bronchopneumonia?
1. Scattered patches *various bacteria (mild fever)
49
What is Primary atypical pneumonia?
1. Scattered patches *viral (fever may be absent)
50
Are obstructive lung diseases caused by an infective process?
No *functional change in the lung tissue itself
51
What causes aspiration?
1. The epiglottis doesn’t work, fails to cover the opening of the larynx
52
What is COPD?
The capacity of the lungs to move air in ventilation is decreased less air can move through the lungs *Less gas exchange
53
What is pulmonary edema?
1. Fluid collection in the intestinal space *between the pulmonary capillaries and alveoli) 2. Due to the increase in pulmonary hydrostatic pressure
54
Where is blood going in pulmonary edema?
The blood coming to and from the lungs is pushin to hard to get to where its going
55
What side of the heart is pulmonary circulation on?
The right side of the heart
56
What are some reasons for pulmonary edema?
1. Something blocking the flow 2. Too much blood bc we’re having a hard time pushing it out of the ventricle into the next space
57
Why would blood have a hard time getting out of the ventricle?
Congestive heart failure (right-sided)
58
What does the high hydrostatic pressure do to the water?
Pushes water out of the blood vessel and into the interstitial space *Go into the alveolis
59
What does fluid in the alveoli cause?
1. Dilutes the surfactant (which prevents the pneumocytes from sticking together and collapsing ) now they want to stick together and collapse
60
What is pulmonary edema do to the gas exchange?
Decrease it *2nd to pneumonia
61
What is pulmonary embolis>
Moving clot
62
When would a pulmonary emboli be a problem?
If they lodge in the bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk into right and left pulmonary arteries *wil die
63
Where do the emboli come from?
1. Leg veins 2. Right atrium
64
What do the lungs need to fully inflate?
A vacuum
65
What is an atelectasis?
When the parietal pleura and visceral pleura are separated
