Q

laws

Henry’s Law

A

At the air water interface the amount of the gas that dissolves in water is determined by its solubility in water and its partial pressure in the air. (assuming a constant temperature).

(Assuming a constant pressure) CV

29
Q

laws

Boyle’s Law

A

The pressure of a given quantity of gas is inversely proportional to its volume, assuming a constant temperature. BP

30
Q

Resistance to pulmonary airflow is mostly determined by the

A

Diameter of the bronchioles

31
Q

Pulmonary compliance

A

Ease or difficulty which expansion of lungs can happen

Change in lung volume relative to a given pressure change

32
Q

Sources of resistance to airflow and discuss relevance to respiration

A
33
Q

Pulmonary ventilation

A

Refers to movement of air in and out of the lungs

34
Q

Pulmonary stenosis

A

(also called pulmonic stenosis)

is when the pulmonary valve (the valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery) is too small, narrow, or stiff

35
Q

Pulmonary surfactant

A
36
Q

Pulmonary impedance

A
37
Q

Tidal volume

A

Volume of air inhaled and exhaled in one cycle of breathing

500 mL

38
Q

Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)

A

Air in excess of tidal volume that can be inhaled with max effort

3,000 mL

39
Q

Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)

A

air in excess of tidal volume that can be exhaled with maximum effort

1,200 mL

40
Q

Residual volume

A

Air remaining in lungs after maximum expiration

1,300 mL

41
Q

Kussmaul respiration

A

Deep, rapid breathing often induced by acidosis

42
Q

Orthopnea

A

Dyspnea that occurs when a person is lying down

43
Q

Respiratory arrest

A

Permanent cessation of breathing

44
Q

Tachypnea

A

Accelerated respiration

45
Q

Carbon dioxide is transported in 3 forms

A
  • 90% of the C O2 is hydrated (reacts with water) to form carbonic acid, which dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions:
  • 5% of C O2 binds to the amino groups of plasma proteins and hemoglobin to form carbamino compounds
  • Primarily forms carbaminohemoglobin (HbC O2)
  • Carbon dioxide does not compete with oxygen—bind to different moieties on hemoglobin, so both can be transported simultaneously. CO2 binds to the globin.
  • 5% of C O2 is carried as a dissolved gas
46
Q

Valsalva maneuver

A

Breathing technique used to help expel contents of certain abdominal organs

47
Q

Valsalva maneuver is explained as

A
  • glottis closes to prevent exhalation
  • abdominal muscles contracts
  • intra abdominal pressure rises
  • helps to empty rectum or stabilize trunk during heavy lifting
48
Q

Explain how anticipation of the needs of exercising muscle directly increases respiratory rate

A
49
Q

Gas exchange can be

A

Fast or slow

It’s slower in alveoli

50
Q

Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve

A

Illustrates relationship between hemoglobin saturation and ambient PO2

51
Q

Some pH disturbances are linked to

A

53
Q

58
Q

Hyperventilation

A

increased pulmonary ventilation in excess of metabolic demand

59
Q

hypoventilation

A

reduced pulmonary ventilation leading to an increase in blood CO2

60
Q

only air that enters alveoli is available for

A

gas exchange but not all inhaled air gets there
* about 150 mL fills the conducting zone of the airway
* called anatomical dead space because there is no gas exchange
