Q

what conditions does blood bypass oxygenated blood

A

circulation problem

right-to-left shunt

22
Q

what problems can cause oxygenated air to not reach blood

A

ventilation problem

atelectasis

23
Q

atelectasis

A

Complete or partial collapse of a lung or a section (lobe) of a lung

24
Q

decreased O2 carrying capacity arises in hemoglobin from what 3 causes

A
  1. anemia
  2. carbon monoxide
  3. methemoglobinemia
25
Q

define anema

A

decreased in RBC mass

26
Q

what are PaO2 and SaO2 values for anemia

A

both normal

27
Q

what are PaO2 and SaO2 values for carbon monoxide poisoning

A

PaO2 normal

SaO2 decreased

28
Q

what are common exposures that can cause carbon monoxide poisoning

A
  • smoke from fires
  • exhaust from cars
  • exhaust from gas heaters
29
Q

what is the classic clinical findings for carbon monoxide poisoining

A

cherry-red appearance of skin

30
Q

what is an early sign of carbon monoxide poisoning

A

headache

-significant exposure leads to coma/death

31
Q

what form of iron binds oxygen

A

Fe2+

32
Q

what happens in methemoglobinemia

A

iron in heme is oxidized to Fe3+ , which cannot bind oxygen

33
Q

what are PaO2 and SaO2 values for methemoglobinemia

A

PaO2 normal

SaO2 decreased

34
Q

what are classic clinical findings for methemoglobinemia

A

cyanosis with chocolate-colored blood

35
Q

what is the treatment for methemoglobinemia

A

methylene blue : helps reduce Fe3+ back to Fe2+

36
Q

what can cause methemoglobinemia

A

oxidant stress: sulfa and nitrate drugs

newborns

37
Q

A low ATP disrupts what key cellular functions

A
  1. Na-K pump
  2. Ca pump
  3. switches to anaerobic glycolysis
38
Q

what happens when the Na-K pump stops working

A

sodium and water builds up

39
Q

what happens when the Ca pump stops working

A

Ca buildup in cytosol

Ca is an enzyme activator

40
Q

switching to anaerobic glycolysis results in waht

A

lactic acid build up –> low pH –> denature protein and precipitates DNA

41
Q

what is the hallmark of reversible cell injury

A

cellular swelling

42
Q

cytosol swelling results in

A

loss of microvilli

membrane blebbing

43
Q

Swelling of rough endoplasmic reticulum results in

A

dissociation of ribosomes and decreased protein synthesis

44
Q

what is the hallmark of irreversible injury

A

membrane damage

45
Q

what are 3 membrane damage that can occur in irreversible cell injury

A

plasma
mitochondrial
lysosome

46
Q

plasma membrane damage results in

A
  1. cytosolic enzymes leaking into the serum

2. additional calcium entering the cell

47
Q

mitochondrial membrane damage results in

A
  1. loss of electron transport chain

2. cytochome c leaking into cytosol

48
Q

where does electron transport chain occur in mitochondira

A

inner mitochondrial membraine

49
Q

cytochrome c activates what

A

apoptosis

50
Q

lysosome membrane damage results in

A

hydrolytic enzymes leaking into cytosol

- these enzymes get activated by Ca

51
Q

what is the end result of irreversible injury

A

cell death
