33
Q

VC

A

max volume a person can breath in or out of after forceful expiration and forceful inspiration
ERV + IRV + TV

34
Q

TLC total lung capacity

A

RV + IRV + ERV + TV

35
Q

capacities which cannot be measured

A

FRC, RV, TLC

36
Q

Approx time for inspiration

A

2 sec

37
Q

approx for expiration

A

3 sec

38
Q

rate of respiration for infant

A

44

39
Q

Asthma

A

spasm of smooth muscles in bronchioles - wheezing, diff in breathing - inflammation ( redness or swelling of the bronchi)

40
Q

emphysema-

A

cigaratte smoking
- wall of alveoli is damaged loss of elasticity of walls
reduced sufrace area, sacs remain filled with air after expiration

41
Q

pneumoconiosis

A

disease by inhalation of silica dust asbestos ( mineral dust)
- silicosis ( silica)
- asbestosis ( asbesots)

42
Q

symptoms

A

serious lung damage. due to fibrosis ( damage to upper part of the lung) - proliferation of fibrous tissues
causing inflammation - redness ,swelling of lungs

43
Q

respiratory centre is located in

A

medulla oblongata and the pons

44
Q

composed of

A

respiratory rhythm center (RRC)
pneumotaxic center( PC)

45
Q

RRC

A
  • MEDULLA
  • cause the expiration and inspiration
46
Q

PC

A
  • PONS
  • alter the rate of respiration ( reduce the duration of inspiration)
  • strong signals from pneumotaxic center result in shallow and fast breathing
47
Q

how is the chemosensitive area affected

A
  • increased CO2 or H+ ions conc, alters the rate of respiration
48
Q

where is the co2 and h+ found

A

aortic bodies
carotid bodies - supplies the blood to the brain

49
Q

factors affecting diffusion

A
  • solubility inc. diffusion inc.
  • temp dec. diffusion inc.
  • partial pressure ( from higher to lower)
50
Q

2 sites of gaseous exchange

A
  • btw blood and alveoli
  • btw blood and tissue
51
Q

3 layers of diffusion membrane

A

thin squamous epithelium, endothelium lining, basement substance( btw the squamous and endothelium)

52
Q

thickness of diffusion membrane

A

0.2 to 0.3 micrometer

53
Q

P.P of O2 and for CO2 in atmospheric air and alveoli

A

159 and 104 in O2
0.3 and 40 in CO2

54
Q

primary site for exchange of gas

A

Alveoli

55
Q

how is o2 and co2 exchanged in our body

A

simple diffusion

56
Q

2 ways of transport of o2

A

in dissolved form
in the oxy-haemoglobin form

57
Q

single molecule of Hb carries how many molecule of o2

A

4

58
Q

where does o2 get dissociated after binding with Hb at the lung surface

A

tissues

59
Q

why

A

po2 decreases leading to unstable compound
- decrease in pH
- increase in acidity
- high temp

60

capacity of 1g of Hb to combine with o2

A

is 1.34mL

63
Q

oxygen dissocation curve

A

sigmoid

64
Q

P.P at which Hb saturation is

A

50%

65
Q

what is the reason for curve shifting to the right(factors affecting the curve) and where does it occur

A

low PP of O2
high PP of CO2
High H+
High temp
Diphosphoglyceric acid inc.

  • in the body tissues
66
Q

reason for shift to left

A
  • in the alveoli
    high PP of O2
    low PP of CO2
    low H+
    low temp
67
Q

oxy haemoglobin curve for foetus

A

shift to left ( very high affinity for O2

68
