A&P- Final Flashcards
Forced Mid-Expiratory flow or FEF 25-75 test
A lower FEF 25-75% value (not as a ratio but as an absolute flow rate) suggests obstruction in the smaller airways.
Really bad asthma somewhere between 500-1000mL/s is thought of as a good number
If we have a lung that has a smaller than normal inward recoil, what happens to the pleural pressure?
Then that would lead to larger lung volumes- so lose elastance in the lungs- the result is higher lung volumes.. And a more positive pleural pressure, less force pulling in (or less negative)..
CSF pH and CO2
CSF pH should be 7.31 (lower than arterial), and CSF PCO2 is 50 mmHg (higher than arterial)
Take care of 85% of blood gas management
CO2 is diffusing into the CSF that is driving up the protons through dissociation.
Peripheral Chemoreceptors
Two pairs of carotid bodies, just above the bifurcation of the internal/external carotid arteries.. info sent to glossopharyngeal CN 9 to medulla (brainstem)
3-5 aortic bodies sensory info back to brainstem via Vagus nerve (CN X)… peripheral chemoreceptors looking at H+, CO2, and O2.. Capable of sensing all three but mainly looking at the most is for large changes in O2.. So Peripheral is O2 and central chemoreceptors is CO2 and H+..
What PO2 do peripheral chemoreceptors start to ramp up vent..
80mmHg and a lot at 60mmHg
if high really wont depress vent
Perfusion increase is second response to low PaO2.. what happens to BP?
large O2 drop, BP will increase.. If we go the opposite direction, decrease in PCO2 or H+.. CO is reduced and BP comes down..
End Tidal CO2 is 48, how is BP
High.. (normal 38-40)..
If CO2 is low, how is Ca+?
CO2 is low, CO is low, BP is Low, then Ca+ is low
binding more to protiens
Sternocleidomastoid
connects with top of sternum and helps keep the ribcage from pulling down during normal breathing.. Anchor point at mastoid process on the skull behind the ear.. Contract during inspiration opposes the ribcage from getting pulled down, stabilizing muscle- helps with regular breathing.
Opening that allows for drainage from the middle ear called
pharyngotympanic tube or Estuacian canal
Nasal Vasculature
Superficial (inferior) branches coming from external carotid.. Internal branches lay in top of nose via ophthalmic a which is what connects branches to the internal carotid (internal is an even more protected circulation – very hard to stop a bleeder
concha
inferior: maxilla
middle:ethmoid
superior: ethmoid
Crista Galli - connects falx cerebri
tonsils: name 3
lingual tonsils.. Under side of tongue
Pharyngeal tonsils at the back of nose..
Palatine tonsils off to side of palate
Salivary glands
One under front of tongue is the sublingual gland (red).. Gleeking.. Submandibular farther back right under mandible (blue).. Parotid is largest.
Trigeminal nerve..
CN5 is very large.. Side of head w/ 3 divisions.. V1: very top part (ophthalmic branch- eyes and forehead sensory).. V2: middle maxillary roof of mouth and nose (middle face).. V3: mandibular division. Lower jaw mandible
Trachea Length:
Length is 11-13 cm for a normal adult.. Vast majority is inside thorax.. 2-4 cm is extra-thoracic to connect to the larynx
Ligaments that connect the 20 tracheal rings
annular ligaments
Angle Between the Main Stems:
The angle that is formed between the 2 is a combined angle of 70 degrees
The right is about 25 degree curve and the left is a 45 degree angle
ETT limitations:
The narrowest part of upper airway is the cricoid cartilage (neonates).. That is what limits size of ETT tube (if bigger then won’t go in)..
In adults or persons older than 14 then that is the opening in-between the cords (trans glottic space- green line) are most narrow space.
Mt. Everest
29,000ft (8400m) at the summit. PB: 250mmHg
0.21(250-47) => PIO2 of 43mmHg
Diving Pressure:
Sea level is 1 atm.. 30 feet under the surface is twice that at 2 atm.. For every 30 feet the pressure increases by a factor of 1 atm..
Volumes Percent of arterial blood
In arterial blood 20 mL O2 for / 100mL blood.. So 20 %
How many mL’s of O2 will give us a PO2 of 100mmHg
PO2 is about 100 when we have 0.3 mLs of O2
As lung O2 pressures increase.. From 100mg to 1000mmHg we would expect ? mL O2 in the dissolved state..
3mL O2
10X increase from normal
linear increase
30min at 2 atm will give O2 pressure around ? mmHg
1560mmHg. - upper limit of Oxygen poisoning .. O2 causes oxidative, free radical stress
O2- Superoxide
Can combine with nitric oxide (NO) to form really toxic compound OONO- (peroxynitrite) , destroys DNA, kills cells, and replication, causes cancer, anti-cancer genes don’t work well..
Hydrogen Peroxide:
H2O2: free radical or oxidizing compound.. Not good to have excess
Peroxidase
can destroy or make peroxide.. Catalyze interacts w/ hydrogen peroxide.. Acetylcysteine: scavenge free radicals scavenger NAC (liver problems) detox liver..
Fundraiser for Polio
“March a Dime”
demylenating disease
Age Formula:
(Age + 10)/4
The older the lower PaO2
PAO2 = off arterial PaCO2
[(PB-PH20)*FIO2] - (PaCO2/R)
or PIO2 – (PaCO2/ R )
normal R is 0.8
R =
RQ= Respiratory Quotient: the amount of CO2 produced/ O2 used
normal O2 used is 250mL/min and the CO2 produced is about 225mL/min => 0.8
RQ with just fats
0.7
RQ with just carbs
1
Fats for ATP is ? CO2 production
Less
CO2 gets used of by formation of water with the metabolism of fats.
If burning carbs
If burning carbs, being combined with carbons without excess H+ being produced..
Fats release H+ (somehow form water with O2)
RQ for proteins
0.8
respiratory exchange ratio (RER)
Measuring gases coming off patient for RQ referred to as respiratory exchange ratio (RER) is actual measurement of gas going in and out of patient. Same thing just different term.
Should be about 400mL of O2 in between breaths in the lungs –
(104/760) x 3000mL.. Close to a 2 min supply of oxygen .. We burn 250mL O2/min.. No big deal if don’t take a breath for 2 min..
