Q

Steps in the process of ventilation: resting breathing

A

0) Atmospheric pressure = intrapulmonary pressure
1) Lungs begin to expand, so intrapulmonary pressure DECREASES
2) Air moves from atmosphere to lungs
3) Pressures return to equilibrium
4) During expiration, thoracic volume decreases causing intrapulmonary pressure > atmospheric pressure
5) Air moves out of the lungs until pressure equilibrates again

Q

What are the 5 non-breathing air movements?

A

1) Coughing and Sneezing; clear irritants from airways
2) Yawn; deepest possible breath
3) Hiccup: spasm of diaphragm causing rapid bursts of air through vocal cords
4) Laughing/ Crying: when emotional states drive the ventilatory pattern
5) Valsalva Maneuver: attempt to exhale against a closed airway

Q

In the lungs…

A
  • Oxygen moves from air to blood
  • CO2 moves from blood to air
26
Q

In the tissues…

A
  • O2 moves from blood to tissue
  • CO2 moves from tissue to blood
27
Q

Hemoglobin…

A
  • Hemoglobin transports over 98% of blood’s O2
  • Each RBC contains 250-300 million hemoglobin molecules
  • Each RBC can carry up to 1.2 billion oxygen molecules
28
Q

True or False? Some (not all) oxygen released from hemoglobin at systemic capillaries

A

TRUE

29
Q

____% saturation as it leaves the lungs (at sea level)

A

98%

30
Q

About ____% saturation after passing systemic cells at rest.

A

75%

31
Q

Only ____ to ____% of transported oxygen is released.

A

20 to 25%

32
Q

Oxygen Reserve

A

O2 remaining bound to hemoglobin after passing through systemic circulation

33
Q

What is the oxygen reserve for?

A

provides a means for additional oxygen to be delivered under increased metabolic demands (ex. exercise)

34
Q

Vigorous exercise produces a significant drop in saturation.. blood leaving capillaries in active muscles only about ____% saturated.

A

35%

35
Q

Carbon dioxide enters the alveolus by..

A
  • direct diffusion from plasma (not in erythrocytes)
  • detaching from hemoglobin
  • converted from bicarbonate
36
Q

When CO2 diffuses into bloodstream..

A

7% remains dissolved in plasma (as CO2) and 93% diffuses into RBCs

37
Q

93% of CO2 in RBCs is broken into two groups

A
  • 23% binds to Hb, forming carbaminohemoglobin, Hb+ CO2
  • 70% converted to H2CO3 by carbonic anhydrase
38
Q

The 70% of CO2 that was converted to H2CO3 by carbonic anhydrase

A

dissociates into H+ and HCO3-

39
Q

The dissociated HCO3-

A

H+ is removed by buffers, especially Hb/ HCO3-moves out of RBC in exchange for Cl- (chloride shift)

40
Q

The Haldane effect:

A

CO2 more readily binds to unoxygenated hemoglobin

41
Q

Apnea

A

absence of breathing, swallowing or holding your breath

42
Q

How does Apnea occur

A
  • Can occur voluntarily
  • May be drug-induced
  • Can result from neurological disease or trauma

Q

Sleep Apnea

A

temporary cessation of breathing during sleep

44
Q

Treatment for Sleep Apnea

A

52
Q

What is pneumonia?

A

infection of the lung, resulting in alveoli filling with fluid, exudate, or puss

53
Q

What is pneumonia usually caused by?

A

Bacterial or Viral infection

54

A

Cough, Fever, Difficulty Breathing, weakness, chills, increased HR, chest pain while inhaling

55
Q

______ or ____________ individuals have a longer illness of pneumonia than younger adults.

A

Older or Immunocompromised

56
Q

Pneumothorax

A

air in pleural cavity

57
Q

How does pneumothorax occur?

A
  • air is introduced externally- penetrating a wound to the chest
  • air is introduced internally- rib lacerated lung/ alveolus ruptures
58
Q

What problems can Pneumothorax cause for a person?

A

intrapleural and intrapulmonary pressures equalize ( causing atelectasis)

59
Q

Small pneumothorax resolves __________

A

spontaneously

60
Q

Large pneumothorax is _______

A

A MEDICAL EMERGENCY
- a tube must be inserted into the pleural space to remove the air

61
Q

Atelectasis

A
  • collapsed lung
  • occurs if intrapleural and intrapulmonary pressures equalize due to air in pleural cavity
  • remains collapsed until air is removed from pleural space
62
Q

What causes Cystic Fibrosis?

A

Defective chloride channels prevent chloride ions from being pumped from epithelial cells lining the respiratory cells lining respiratory tract into the lumen of the respiratory tract

63
Q

Without chloride on cell surface, ________ fails to hydrate the cells’ surface.

A

water

64
Q

In Cystic Fibrosis when water fails to hydrate the cell’s surface…

A

mucus becomes thick causing cilia not to be able to mobilize it, mucus then blocks the respiratory tract

65
Q

CF also presents with..

A

high incidence of bacterial infections

66
Q

Cystic Fibrosis can also cause

A
  • ducts of the pancreas and salivary glands to also be blocked
