25
What happens to the intrapulmonary pressure during expiration?
it increases!
26
where is the greatest resistance to airflow?
medium-sized bronchi
27
what factor alters resistance to airflow
diameter of the airway!
28
tidal volume
gas moved per breath
29
anatomical dead space
air that stays in the lungs and doesnt move | "unused ventilation"
30
alveolar ventilation
volume of inspired gas that reaches the respiratory zone
31
vital capacity
max amount of gas expired after max inspiration
32
residual volume
volume of gas remaining in lungs after max epiration
33
total lung capacity (TLC)
gas in the lungs after max inspiration | vital capacity + residual volume
34
What are you increasing the get the most alveolar ventilation? (tidal volume or frequency?)
TIDAL VOLUME | - BIG WAVES
35
Fick's law
rate of gas transfer (V) is proportional to the tissue area (A) & difference in partial pressure (P1-P2) & diffusion coefficient (D) V= A/T x D x (P1-P2)
36
If you increase the tissue surface area what happens to the diffusion of gas?
increases
37
increasing the diffusion coefficient does what to the rate of diffusion?
increases it
38
if you increase the tissue thickness what does it do to the diffusion?
decreases it
39
Daltons Law
total pressure of a gas mixture = the sum of each individual pressure
40
what is atmospheric pressure at sea level?
760 mm Hg
41

21%
42
partial pressure of N2

54
what happens to strength of the bond btw hemoglobin and o2 when ph decreases

72

Females
73
Blood spends a reduced amount of time in the pulmonary capillary causing a lower PO2

Ventilation perfusion mismatch (what I just described on the last slide)
75
What controls the contraction and relaxation of the respiratory muscles?
Somatic motor neurons (which are controlled via the medulla oblongata)
76
What is the "group pacemaker hypothesis"
Firing of several clusters of neurons in the brain stem that generate breathing
77
The pacemaker theory suggest that regulation of breathing is under what type of control?
Redundant control
78

81
Where are the central chemoreceptors located
Medulla
82
Where are the peripheral chemoreceptors located
Aortic arch and common carotid a.
83
