Q

What is the key regulator of erythropoeisis?

What happens with a defect in Hypoxia inducible factor?

A

erythropoietin (regulated by HIF)

made by kidneys due to anemia, low Hb, decreased RBF, or central hypoxia

genetic deletion results in anemia, polycythemia while impaired regulation of HIF leads to erythrocytosis

Q

What is the life cycle of red blood cells?

A

last for 120 days and then rupture in the red pulp of the spleen

released Hb is ingested by monocyte/macrophages immediately

Q

oxygen can travel in the blood two ways. Why is the level of dissolved oxygen in the blood so low?

A

Dissolved O2 has a really low solubility, with PaO2 being only 95-100mmHg. This would mean that during heavy exercise when CO increases, tissue demands would be 2-3000 ml O2/min

There just isn’t enough dissolved O2 in the blood to go around (b/c of low solub.)

Q

What are the normal PaO2 and O2 saturation values (arterial blood)

what are the normal values for PvO2 and O2 saturation (venous blood)

This is in resting tissues

A

arterial: PaO2=95-100mmHg

O2 sat=97.5%

Venous: PvO2=40mmHg

O2 sat=75%

21
Q

What is the O2 saturation when PaO2 is > 60mmHg?

A

O2 sat is at least 85%

(17ml O2/dl blood)

22
Q

What is the Hb saturation percentage when PaO2 is 27mmHg?

A

50%

23
Q

What happens to oxygen when Hb concentration decreases?

A

Oxygen carrying capacity will decrease regardless of O2 saturation

24
Q

What happens when Hb concentration increases?

A

Oxygen carrying capacity will increase regardless of O2 saturation

25
Q

What is the “left shift” of the ODC?

what dz are assx?

A

represents increased affinity of Hb for O2 (Hb doesn’t want to share O2 with the tissues)

assx with polycythemia and methemoglobinemia

26
Q

What is the “right shift” of the ODC?

A

represents decreased affinity of Hb for O2 (doesn’t want to hold on to O2)

assx with anemia, good for unloading O2

27
Q

What causes a right shift? (Bohr Effect)

A

increased CADET

CO2 (hypercarbic)

Acid (high H, low pH)

2,3 BPG (DPG) (more chronic)

Exercise

Temp

28
Q

What is oxygen capacity?

What is oxygen content?

What is Oxygen Saturation?

A

OC: max amount of O2 that can be carried by hgb in blood (20.1mlO2/dl blood)

Ocontent: how much O2 is actually being carried by the blood (19.5ml O2/dl blood)

OS: spots occupied by O2 as a percentage of total available spots

29
Q

what are the four things that blood needs to form/function properly

what are two disorders assx with inadequate levels of these components?

A
  1. adequate nutrition
  2. vitamin B12 (cyancobalamin)
  3. folate (B9)
  4. iron availability

not enough B12 or folate leads to megaloblastic macrocytic anemia

poor b12 absorption leads to pernicious anemia

30
Q

What dz is assx with a deficiency in iron?

A

microcytic anemia (most common type)

-be hgb needs iron in order to bind to O2

31
Q

What dz is assx with deficient transport of transferrin to developing erythroblasts?

A

hypochromic anemia

32
Q

How does iron and ATP work together

A

ATP is required to maintain Fe in the 2+ form within the heme

(Fe3 is bad for oxygen binding/dissociation)

33
Q

What is hemachromatosis?

A

iron overloading leading to cirrhosis, hyperpigmentation and DM

there is primary/genetic and secondary as well as neonatal forms

secondary: can be caused by multiple blood transfusions, bad erythropoiesis, and increased iron intake

neonatal: develops in uteru from an unknown cause

34
Q

Anemia decreases O2 carrying capacity. Why?

A

Hgb concentration is proportional to blood O2 content

1/2 hgb concentration is approx. equal to 1/2 blood O2 content (??) but the saturation doesn’t change

35
Q

describe primary polycythemia

A

genetics (low EPO)

extra RBCs leading to increased blood volume (2x)

increased viscosity (10x water)

Normal CO (ish)

36
Q

Describe secondary polycythemia

A

hypoxia (high EPO)

extra RBCs

CO may be abnormal

37
Q

Describe physiologic polycythemia

A

high altitude adaptation

extra RBCs

normal CO

38
Q

What is methemoglobinemia?

A

increased met-hemoglobin

iron is in Fe3 (ferric) form

decreased O2 available to tissues

LEFT shift in OHDC

blood is chocolate colored (okay, brown?)

blue skin

39
Q

What is the a-v O2 difference?

A

difference between arterial blood O2 content vs. venous blood O2 content

helps determine oxygen consumption

40
Q

what is the respiratory qoutient?

A

RQ=volume of CO2 produced/volume of O2 consumed or

Vdot CO2/Vdot O2

41
Q

The relationship between O2 used and CO2 produced is determined by the fuel being burned in the body

Carbs

Fats

Proteins

A

Carbs: 1:1 ratio (1 CO2 per 1 O2) (1.0 RQ)

Fats: 7:10 ratio (7 CO2 per 10 O2) (0.7 RQ)

Proteins: 9:10 ratio (9 CO2 per 10 O2) (0.9 RQ)

42
Q

How is CO2 transported in the blood?

A

arterial blood: 90% HCO3-

5% dissolved

5% carbamino

Venous blood: 60% HCO3-

10% dissolved

30% carbamino

43
Q

Carbamino compounds carry CO2 in the blood because

A

CO2 binds to plasma proteins or Hb but does not bind to heme groups

instead, binds to amine group

this causes a Haldane (left) shift

in the presence of O2, there is a reduced affinitty of the amine chain for CO2

44
Q

How does CO2 and bicarbonate work?

A
  1. CO2 is produced and exits tissues
  2. carbonic anhydrase (high levels in RBCs) hydrates CO2 to form H2CO3
  3. H2CO3 dissociates into H and HCO3
  4. H is buffered in RBCs by deoxyhemoglobin and carried in venous blood here
  5. HCO3- produced is exchanged for Cl- across RBCs and carried to lungs
  6. in the lungs: dissolved CO2 moves into alveoli, CO2 dissciates from proteins, HCO3 is converted back to CO2
45
Q

Volume of O2 in blood

Volume of CO2 in blood

A

O2: 20ml/100ml blood

CO2: 50ml CO2/100ml blood

46
Q

Major form of CO2 transport

A

O2: bound to heme

CO2: HCO3

47
Q
