Q

Air flow (F) is equal to what ?

A

proportional to pressure difference (delta P) between two points and inversely proportional to resistance (R)

F= Palv - Patm/ R

Palv= alveolar pressure

Patm= atmospheric pressure

R= resistance

Q

boyles law

A

in a closed system, at constant temperature, pressure of a gas (P) and volume of its container (V) are inversely proportional

  • *-increase volume decrease pressure**
  • *-decrease volume increase pressure**

Q

during ventilation

A
  • volume changes leads to pressure changes (create pressure gradient) and leads to air flow
  • continues until pressures are equilibrated between areas (no pressure gradient

15
Q

intrapleural fluid

A

lubricates layers, can slide over each other during breathing

-intrapleural fluid exerts hydrostatic pressure : intrapleural pressure (P ip)

16
Q

intrapleural space

A

subatmospheric , always less than atmospheric keeps lungs from collapsing

17
Q

transpulmonary pressure (P tp)

A

(lung wall/intrapleural fluid)

value at rest : 4

-opposes inward elastic recoil of lung

18
Q

chest wall pressure (P cw)

A

(between intrapleural fluid and atmospheric pressure P atm)

value at rest = -4

-opposes outward elastic recoil of chest wall

19
Q

normal quiet breathing (inspiration)

A

75% diaphragm

25 % external intercostals

20
Q

more forceful breathing (inspiration)

A
  • diaphragm contracts stronger, more flattening
  • external intercostals contract stronger
  • recruit accessory muscles of inspiration (scalenes, SCM, Pec minor)
  • thoracic cavity gets bigger
21
Q

normal quiet breathing (expiration)

A

elastic recoil of diaphragm and external intercostals

22
Q

more forceful breathing

A
  • elastic recoil of diaphragm and external intercostals
  • recruit accessory muscles of expiration (internal intercostals, abdominal muscles)
23
Q

pressure during expiration

A

alveolar pressure becomes greater than atmospheric pressure, leading to air flowing out of lungs

24
Q

Where is basic breathing rhythm set in

A

Medulla Oblongata

25
Q

Pre Botzinger complex

A

pacemaker, sends signal to Dorsal Respiratory group

26
Q

Dorsal respiratory group (DRG)

A

Carries inspiratory neurons (active/inactive)

Controls basic breathing cycle for normal, quiet breathing

-gets infleunce from periphery (inputs) that help control and modify breathing

27
Q

What drugs supress DRG inspiratory neurons

A

Morphine, Barbiturates, fentanyl and heroin. leads to overdose due to breathing stoppage

28
Q

describe dorsal respiratory group when active and also inactive

A

ACTIVE

  • 2 seconds
  • diaphragm contracts and external intercostals contract during most active phase
  • leads to quiet inhalation

INACTIVE

  • 3 seconds
  • diaphragm relaxes, external intercostals become less active and relax, followed by elastic recoil of lungs
  • leads to normal quiet exhalation (not from DRG)
29
Q

Ventral respiratory Group (VRG)

A
  • inspiratory and expiratory neurons recruited by DRG when need more than normal, quiet breathing
  • activate muscles of breathing for more forceful breathes

forceful Inhalation neurons -→ activate accesory muscles of inhalation; scalenes, SCM, and pec minor contract. Along with DRG functions of diaphagram and external intercostals contracting leads to forceful inhalation

forceful exhalation neurons -→ recuit accesory muscles of exhalation : internal intercostals, external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominus and rectus abdominis contract. leads to forceful exhalation
