Q

What is alveolus?

Name three important cells found in the lung alveoli.

A

small cavity, pit, or hollow, in particular.
tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.

Type I pneumocyte (Squamous Alveolar) cells that form the structure of an alveolar wall.
Type II pneumocyte (Great Alveolar) cells that secrete pulmonary surfactant to lower the surface tension of water and allows the membrane to separate, thereby increasing the capability to exchange gases. Surfactant is continuously released by exocytosis. It forms an underlying aqueous protein-containing hypophase and an overlying phospholipid film composed primarily of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine.
Macrophages that destroy foreign material, such as bacteria.

Q

Name the factors that causes resistance to airflow in the lungs (only name)

A

pulmonary compliance

distensibility of the lungs

26
Q

What is pulmonary surfactant?

What is its composition?

Function of surfactant.

A
  • Surface tension of water in the alveoli and distal bronchioles, that is necessary for gas exchange, resists inspiration and promotes expiration
  • This surface tension would act to collapse alveoli and distal bronchioles
  • Pulmonary surfactant released from the great alveolar cells disrupt hydrogen bonds of water and  surface tension
  • As passages contract during expiration, surface tension naturally  and surfactant concentration  preventing alveolar collapse
  • Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants is due to a deficiency of surfactant – treated by administering artificial surfactant
27
Q

air that actually ventilates alveoli X respiratory rate

directly relevant to body’s ability to exchange gases

28
Q

29
Q

30
Q

What is vital capacity and its total amount?

A

_vital capacity:
− inspiratory capacity
− functional residual
− total lung capacity

vital capacity: amount of air that can be exhaled with maximum effort after maximum inspiration; assess strength of thoracic muscles and pulmonary function 4700ml

31
Q

Variations in the Respiratory Rhythm ->

A

Apnea: temporary cessation of breathing one or more shipped breaths.

Dyspnea: Labored gasping breathing shortness of breath

Hyperpnea: Increased rate and depth of breathing in response to excerise pain other condition

Hyperventilation: Increased pulmonary ventilation in excess of metabolic demand, anxiety, expels co2 faster than its produced, lowering the blood CO2 concentration and raising the blood PH

Hypoventilation: reduced pulmonary ventilation leads to increase in blood CO2
Kussmaul respiration: Deep rapid breathing by acidosis seen in diabetes mellitus

Orthopnea: Dyspnea that occurs when a person is lying down or any position other than standing,
Respiratory arrest; Permanent cessation of breathing unless there is medical intervention

Tachypnea: Accelerated respiration

32
Q

Name factors that affect respiratory volumes and capacities.

A
  • Age: lung compliance, respiratory muscles weaken
  • Exercise: maintains strength of respiratory muscles
  • Body size: proportional, big body has large lungs
  • Restrictive disorders: compliance and vital capacity
  • Obstructive disorders: interfere with airflow, expiration requires more effort or less complete
33
Q

Name two respiratory nuclei of medulla oblongata and two respiratory nuclei of pons and their functions.

A

Medulla Oblongata–inspiratory center (dorsal respiratory group or DRG – I neurons) more frequently they fire, more deeply you inhale longer duration they fire, breath is prolonged, rate is slower

pons- – pneumotaxic center• sends continual inhibitory impulses to inspiratory center that controls the rate and depth; as impulse frequency rises, breathe faster and shallower– apneustic center • prolongs inspiration, role unclear

34
Q

Composition of atmospheric air and alveolar air.

A
  • Composition of Air: In a mixture of gases, each contributes its partial pressure, (at sea level 1 atm. of pressure = 760 mmHg) – nitrogen constitutes 78.6% of the atmosphere, PN2 = 78.6% x 760 mmHg = 597 mmHg – PO2 = 159, PH2O = 3.7, PCO2 = 0.3 mmHg (597 + 159 + 3.7 + 0.3 = 760)
  • Alveolar air is different from atmospheric air because it is humidified, it exchanges gases with blood, and mixes with residual air contains: PN2 = 569, PO2 = 104, PH2O = 47, PCO2 = 40 mmHg
35
Q

Name factors that affect gas exchange (name only).

A
  • Concentration gradients of gases air
  • Gas solubility
  • Membrane thickness
  • Membrane surface area
  • Ventilation-perfusion coupling
36
Q

How o2( Oxygen) transport in the blood and how co2 (Carbondioxide) transport in the blood.

A

Oxygen Transport
• Concentration in arterial blood
– 20 ml/dl, (98.5% bound to hemoglobin, 1.5% dissolved in plasma)
• Binding to hemoglobin
– each heme group of 4 globin chains may bind 4 O2 molecules
– oxyhemoglobin (HbO2 ), deoxyhemoglobin (HHb)

Carbon Dioxide Transport : it is transported
• As carbonic acid - 90%
– CO2 + H2O  H2CO3  HCO3- + H+
• As carbaminohemoglobin (HbCO2)- 5% binds to amino groups of Hb (and plasma proteins)
• As dissolved gas - 5%

37
Q

What is repiratory acidosis and how it is corrected.

A

• Respiratory acidosis (pH < 7.35) caused by failure of pulmonary ventilation
– hypercapnia (PCO2) > 43 mmHg (Normal __________)
– corrected by hyperventilation, pushes reaction to the left (pH increases) by “blowing off ” CO2. More and more H+ will join HCO3- to make H2CO3 that will break down and release CO2.
CO2 (expired) + H2O  H2CO3  HCO3- + H+

38
Q

What is respiratory alkalosis and how it is corrected.

A 
•	Respiratory alkalosis (pH < 7.35)
–	hypocapnia (PCO2) < 37 mmHg
–	corrected by hypoventilation, pushes reaction to the right (pH decreases)
 CO2 + H2O  H2CO3  HCO3- + H+
–	 H+, lowers pH to normal
39
Q

Effects of blood chemistry (PH, CO2 and O2) on respiration

A

• pH imbalances can be due to metabolic causes such as diabetes mellitus that can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis.

Effects of Carbon Dioxide
•	Indirect effects 
–	through pH as seen previously
•	Direct effects
–	 CO2 may directly stimulate peripheral chemoreceptors and trigger  ventilation more quickly than central chemoreceptors 
Effects of Oxygen
•	Usually little effect
•	Chronic hypoxemia, PO < 60 mmHg, can significantly stimulate ventilation
–	emphysema, pneumonia
–	high altitudes after several days
40
Q

What is hypoxia and different types.

A

• Hypoxia: is a deficiency of oxygen in a tissue or the inability to use oxygen.
– hypoxemic hypoxia - usually due to inadequate pulmonary gas exchange
• high altitudes, drowning, aspiration, respiratory arrest, degenerative lung diseases, CO poisoning
– ischemic hypoxia - inadequate circulation
– anemic hypoxia - anemia
– histotoxic hypoxia - metabolic poison (cyanide)
– cyanosis - blueness of skin due to hypoxia
– primary effect of hypoxia is tissue necrosis, organs with high metabolic demands affected first

41
Q

Name chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.

A

• Asthma - allergen triggers histamine release, intense bronchoconstriction
• Other COPD’s usually associated with smoking (don’t deny it)
– chronic bronchitis
• cilia immobilized and  in number, goblet cells enlarge and produce excess mucus, sputum formed (mixture of mucus and cellular debris) which is ideal growth media for bacteria, chronic infection and bronchial inflammation develops
– emphysema
• alveolar walls break down, much less respiratory membrane for gas exchange, lungs fibrotic and less elastic, air passages collapse and obstruct outflow of air, air trapped in lungs

42
Q

Name different types of lung cancer.

Which type is most common and which type is dangerous.

A
  • Squamous-cell carcinoma (most common)
