block b lecture 3 Flashcards
exercise physiology and pharmacology
how to calculate flow
=change in pressure/resistance
=(Palveoli-Patmosphere)/R
what is partial pressure
pressure of a gas in a mixture
what does 5 litres of blood contain
15mL physically dissolved O2
remainder (985 mL O2) bound to haemoglobin
4 x subunits =4 x globin haeme (Fe 2 binds O2)
what occurs when taking an in breath
diaphragm contracts
external intercostal muscles pull up ribs an dout
what occurs when taking an out breath
diaphragm relaxes and abdominal organs press upwards
lung elasticity recoils inwards
what occurs when taking maximum inspiration
sternum moves up and out
diaphragm contracts more
what occurs when taking maximum expiration
internal intercostal muscles pull ribs down and out
abdominal muscles compress organs and force diaphragm higher
3 chemical inputs that stimulate ventilation
decrease arterial PO2
increase production of non-CO2 acids
increase arterial PCO1
3 chemical inputs that stimulate ventilation
decrease arterial PO2
increase production of non-CO2 acids
increase arterial PCO1
what are bronchi – bronchioles both surrounded by
smooth muscle
what are alveolar sacs surrounded by
pulmonary capillaries
what is O2 in/CO2 out in alveoli driven by
pressure differences caused by breathing
what is breathing controlled and modulated by
motor neurons from medulla
modulated by chemoreceptors
what does haemoglobin Fe3 bind and where does it release at
98.5% of arterial O2
released at tissues (lower PO2), helps transport CO2 out
example of b agonists (adrenoceptors)
pulmonary smooth muscle relaxation
salbutamol (asthma)
example of a agonists (adrenoceptors)
vascular smooth muscle contraction
phenylephrine, pseudoephrine
(decongestants)
what is beclomethasone (asthma inhaler)
glucocorticoid receptor agonist that inhibits pulmonary inflammation
what does supplementary O2 increase
increases driving force for O2 uptake
what occurs during CO poisoning
haemoglobin binds CO more readily than O2 and loses cooperativity when it does
what is skeletal muscle controlled by
somatic motor nerves
what is skeletal muscle controlled by
somatic motor nerves
what are the 3 types of muscle fibres
myosin
actin
troponin
1 cell= 1 skeletal muscle fibre, how many nuclei and myofibrils each
multiple nuclei
hundreds of myofibrils each
what are the thick contractile filaments
myosin
what are the thin contractile filaments
actin
troponin
