Q

alveoli have 3 features:

A
  1. they are surrounded by elastic fibers of the same type that surrounds the entire bronchial tree
  2. open alveolar pores connecting adjacent alveoli allow air pressure throughout the lung to be equalized and provide alternate air routes to any alveoli whose bronchi have collapsed due to disease
  3. alveolar macrophages crawl freely along internal alveolar surface. Immune function

27
Q

lung base

A

inferior surface that rests on diaphragm

28
Q

lung hilum

A

cavity on the mediastinal surface of each lung

- pulmonary and systemic blood vessels enter and leave lungs

29
Q

Cardiac notch

A
  • cavity that is molded for the heart

- in left lung (smaller lung)

30
Q

left lung

A
  • superior and inferior lobe is divided by the oblique fissure
31
Q

right lung

A
  • superior, middle and inferior lobes are subdivided by oblique fissure and horizontal fissures
32
Q

The pleurae

A
  • form a thin double layered serosa
    1. parietal pleura
    2. visceral pleura
33
Q

parietal pleura

A

covers thoracic wall and superior face of diaphragm

34
Q

visceral pleura

A
  • covers the external lung surface (inner layer)
35
Q

interpleural fluid

A

in between parietal pleura and visceral pleura, which fills the pleural cavity.
- allows lungs to glide easily over the thorax wall during breathing

36
Q

surface tension

A
  1. draws the liquid molecules closer together and reduces their contact with the dissimilar gas molecules
  2. resists any force that tends to increase the surface area of the liquid
37
Q

function of surfactant

A
  • made up of lipids and proteins produced by type 2 alveolar cells
  • decreases cohesiveness of water molecules –> the surface tension of alveolar fluid is reduced –> less energy is needed to overcome those forces to expand the lungs and discourage alveolar collapse.
38
Q

lung compliance

A
  • stretchiness of lungs
  • measure of change in volume that occurs with a given change in transpulmonary pressure
  • zie pagina 55 formule
  • more the lung expands –> more complance.
  • determined by
    1. distensibility of lung tissue
    2. alveolar surface tension
  • healthy lungs have high compliance
39
Q

Lung capacity, 4 respiratory volumes

A
  1. tidal volume TV
  2. inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
  3. Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
  4. residual volume (RV)
40
Q

Tidal volume (TV)

A

amount of air that moves into and then out of the lungs with each breath (500 ml)

41
Q

inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)

A

the amount of air that can be inspired forcibly beyond the TV (2100 to 3200 ml)

42
Q

expiratory reserve volume (ERV)

A

amount of air that can be expelled from lungs after normal TV expiration (1000 to 1200 ml)

43
Q

residual volume (RV)

A

air that remains in the lungs even after the strongest expiration (1200 ml)
- prevents lungs from collapsing and keeps alveoli open

44
Q

4 respiratory capacities

A
  1. inspiratory capacity (IC)
  2. functional residual capacity (FRC)
  3. vital capacity (VC)
  4. total lung capacity (TLC)
45
Q

inspiratory capacity (IC)

A

total amount of air that can be inspired after a normal tidal volume expiration
- TV + IRV

46
Q

functional residual capacity (FRC)

A

amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal tidal volume expiration
- RV + ERV

47
Q

vital capacity (VC)

A

total amount of exchangable air

- TV + IRV + ERV

48
Q

total lung capacity (TLC)

A

sum of all volumes (6000 ml)

49
Q

dead space

A
  • inspired air that never contributes to gas exchange in alveoli
  • anatomical dead space, 150 ml
  • you also have alveolar dead space
  • both added up is total dead space
50
Q

respiratory rate

A

number of breaths per minute

51
Q

alveolar ventilation rate (AVR), considers the volume of dead space

A

AVR = frequency (breaths/minute) x (TV - dead space) x (ml/breath)
- bigger volume is biffer AVR

52
Q

Mechanisms of breathing pressures

A
  1. atmospheric pressure Patm = 760 mmHg
  2. intrapulmonary pressure Ppul: pressure in alveoli. Rises and falls with phases of breathing, always equalizes with atmospheric pressure
  3. Intrapleural pressure Pip: pressure in pleural cavity, fluctuates with breathing phases. Is always 4 mmHg less than Ppul caused by processes
53
Q

why interpleural pressure Pip is always less than Ppul

A
  1. lungs tendency to recoil, lungs always take the smallest size possible
  2. surface tension of alveolar fluid, molecules of fluid lining in alveoli attract each other. Surface tension acts to draw the alveoli to their smallest possible dimension
54
Q

Transpulmonary pressure

A
  • difference between intrapulmonary and intrapleural pressure (Ppul -Pip).
  • prevents lungs from collapsing
  • size of this pressure detrmines size of lungs –> greater the transpulmonary pressure, larger the lungs
55
Q

pulmonary ventilation

A
  • consists of inspiration and expiration
  • depends on volume changes in thoracic cavity
  • volume changes lead to pressure changes
  • Boyle’s law = P1 x V1 = P2 x V2
56
Q

ventilation-perfusion coupling

A
  • for optimal gas exchange, coupling between ventilation and perfusion is needed
  • ventilation: amount of gas reaching the alveoli
  • perfusion: blood flow in pulmonary capillaries
  • ratio: V (g/min) / Q (L/min)
57
Q

ventilation-perfusion control

A
  • PO2 controls perfusion by changing arteriolar diameter
  • PCO2 controls ventilation by changing bronchiolar diameter. Increase –> bronchioles dilate . Decrease –> bronchioles constrict
58
Q

Influence of local Po2 on perfusion

A
  • alveolar ventilation is inadequate, local Po2 is low because blood takes O2 away more quickly than ventilation can replenish it
  • in alveoli where ventilation is maximal, high Po2 dilates pulmonary arterioles and blood flow into the associated pulmonary capillaries increases.
59
Q

Inspiration

A
  • inspiratory muscles; diaphragm and external intercostal muscles
  • action of diaphragm: when diaphragm contracts, moves inferiorly and flattens, the thoracic cavity increases
  • action of intercostal muscles; external intercostal contract lift rib cage and pull sternum superiorly –> ribs swing outward –> expanding diameter of thorax
60
Q

expiration

A
  • depends on muscle elasticity, inspiratory muscles relax, rib cage descends and lungs recoil. volume in thoracic cavity decreases
  • volume decreases –> compresses alveoli and Ppul rises above Patm –> forces gases to flow out of the lungs
61
Q

Forced expiration

A
  • is an active process produced by contracting abdominal wall muscles, primarily the oblique and transversus muscles
    1. increase the intraabdominal pressure –> forces organs superiorly against the diaphragm
    2. depress the rib cage. The internal intercostal muscles also help depress the rib cage and decrease thoracic volume.
