Q

Mucus covers the epithelia from the trachea to the terminal bronchioles and is moved (upward or downward) by the cilia.

Q

Aerosolized particles (DPI) will deposit at different locations from the point of inhalation to the alveoli. At each site, a …

A

different fate may be met

19
Q

_____ caused by the tendency of particles to move in straight direction, instead of following bends in the moving airstream. Particles moving faster than air stream, and this fast travel can impact once airstream bends.

A

Inertial impaction

20
Q

______ is where the particles deposit under the force of gravity (i.e. particles fall out of the moving airstream)

A

Sedimentation

21
Q

_____ is where the particles diffuse to the deposition sites, this is deep down in the lungs where air is barely moving and super slow. (Random process)

A

Diffusion

22
Q

The primary aerosol-related factors affecting particle deposition are the _____+_____ of the particles

A

size and speed

23
Q

Particle size are measured by their _______

A

aerodynamic diameter

24
Q

(Bigger or smaller) particles are more likely to impact

A

bigger

25
Q

(More or Less) dense particles are more likely to fall more easily, sediment out, or impact.

A

More

26
Q

The (Larger or Smaller) the aerodynamic diameter, the further into the lung the particle will go.

A

Smaller

27
Q

More than ____ microns the particles are too big and many will impact in the oropharynx or upper airways, Extrathoracic. Great for nasal cavity.

A

10

28
Q

___ microns the particle will impact and settle in the upper airways. Upper Tracheobronchial.

A

5-10

29
Q

____ microns the particles will settle and diffuse as the airstream slows down and important size range for deeper penetration. Bronchioles.

A

1-5

30
Q

_____ is the size of particle where diffusion dominates. Alveolar or exhalation of particles.

A

Submicron

31
Q

(Increased or Decreased) particle velocity favors deposition by impaction.

A

Increased

can’t stay with bending airstream if velocity is too high – inertial impaction

32
Q

Patient-related factors affecting particle deposition in the lungs are ____+___

A

breathing pattern and disease state

33
Q

Breathing pattern– both the ____+____ can affect particle deposition.

A

rate and depth

34
Q

____ breathing favors tracheobronchial deposition

A

Rapid/Shallow

35
Q

_____ breathing favors deeper penetration (what we want)

A

Slow/Deep

36
Q

Disease that can affect the ___ or ___ of the airways can affect aerosol flow through the lungs. (Asthma, emphysema, COPD)

A

caliber (size) or tortuosity (bend)

37
Q

Pulmonary drug delivery has poor efficiency due to aerosol generation and inhalation technique (too rapid favors impaction). Aerosols are in a size distribution with a significant fraction of (small or large) particles.

A

Large

38
Q

Components of MDI delivery is …

A

Container, Metering Valves, Actuator, Propellant

39
Q

Components of MDI delivery is …

A

Container, Metering Valves, Actuator, Propellant

40
Q

There is (high or low) pressure inside the canister compared to atmospheric pressure outside which cause the drug to go in out of the container.

A

High

41
Q

Hydrocarbon-based compounds that are gases but become liquid at (low or high) temperature and (low or high) pressures

A

Low temperature + High Pressure

42
Q

Most common propellant: HFA 134,

HFA stand for

A

Hydrofluoroalkane

43
Q

The main ____ alternative – breaks down faster in the atmosphere (reduces ozone depletion)

A

CFC (chlorofluorocarbon)

44
Q

Flexhaler is (more or less) sensitive to high humidity than Diskus.

A
