2.1 Flashcards
What arteries does the bronchial circulation arise?
Aorta or 3rd right posterior intercostal artery
The superior left bronchial artery and inferior left bronchial artery arise from the?
aorta
the right bronchial artery arises from the ?
3rd right posterior intercostal artery
what tissues does the bronchial circulation not supply?
parietal pleura
What tissues does the bronchial circulation supply?
- trachea to terminal bronchioles
- arterial supply to all the conducting systems
- visceral pleura
- hilar lymph nodes
- pulmonary arteries and veins
- vagus
- esophagus
What causes the anatomical shunt when see in pulmonary circulation?
bronchial deoxygenated veins empty into oxygenated pulmonary veins.
the anterior intercoastal arteries branch from what?
internal thoracic artery
pulmonary and systemic blood flow are equal. What is the L/Min
5
describe the wall structure of the pulmonary vessels in comparison to the systemic vessels.
Pulmonary arteries rapidly branch into small arteries with thin walls, large diameter lumens, less smooth muscle, increased compliance, flimsy, more stretch, easier to compress, distend when filled
bronchial circulation is _____pressure while pulmonary circulation is _____pressure.
high
low
what is the average pressure drop across pulmonary circulation
98 (100)systemic 10 (15)pulmonary
depending on your textbook
PVR =____SVR resistance
1/10th
what are the passive factors that influence pulmonary vascular resistance
- lung volume
- body position
- gravity
- alveolar, interpleural, and intravascular pressures
- right ventricle output
if transmural pressure difference increases what happens to pulmonary vessel resistance and diameter?
- Increased transmural pressure difference
- increased vessel diameter
- decreased resistance
if transmural pressure difference decreases what happens to pulmonary vessel resistance and diameter?
- decreased transmural pressure difference
- decreased vessel diameter
- increased resistance
_______can lead to compression and collapse of pulmonary vessels
negative transmural pressure
pulmonary capillaries/alveolar vessels are tethered to the alveolar. What happens to these vessels when when the alveoli expand?
when alveoli expand alveolar vessels elongate and decrease in radius(get pinched by the alveoli) which increases resistance
