17
Q

Tidal volume (VT)

A

Volume moved into or out of the respiratory tract during a normal respiratory cycle
-Normal in/out

18
Q

Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)

A

Maximum volume that can be moved into the respiratory tract after a normal inspiration
- maximum in after normal tidal volume

19
Q

Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)

A

Maximum volume that can be move out of the respiratory tract after a normal expiration
- max out after normal tidal expiration

20
Q

Residual volume (RV)

A

Volume remaining in the respiratory tract after maximum expiration
-Air you can’t get out

21
Q

Vital capacity (VC)

A

VT + IRV + ERV (tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume + expiratory reserve volume)
-max in and out max out -> max in

22
Q

Inspiratory capacity (IC)

A

VT + IRV (tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume)
- maximum volume inspired following tidal expiration

23
Q

Functional residual capacity (FRC)

A

ERV + RV (expiratory reserve volume + residual volume)
-volume in the lungs after tidal expiration

24
Q

Total lung capacity (TLC)

A

VT + IRV + ERV + RV (tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume + expiratory reserve volume + residual volume)
VC + RV

25
Forced expiratory volume (FEV)
- Can also be called Forced Vital Capacity (FEV) FEV/FVC test can determine the presence of respiratory obstruction by measuring the volume or air expired per second during forced expiration
26
FEV1
- The volume forcefully expired during the first second - 83% of vital capacity = normal - FEV2 = 94% - FEV3 = 97%
27
Obstructive
Problem with “tubes”
28
Restrictive
Problem with “balloons”
29
Inspired air
Oxygen - 20.93% Carbon dioxide - 0.03% Nitrogen - 79.04%
30
Expired air
Oxygen - 14-17% Carbon dioxide - 3-6% Nitrogen - Balance!
31
BOyle’s law
Volume of gas varies inversely with pressure at a constant temperature
32
Inspiration defined
Expansion of the thorax = increasing volume = decreasing in intrapleural pressure
33
Expiration defined
Contraction of the thorax = decreasing volume = increase in intrapleural pressure
34
Fick’s law
The net gas diffusion rate across a fluid membranes is proportional to the membrane surface area (A), solubility of the gas in the membrane (S), and partial pressure (P), difference and inversely proportional to the membrane thickness (T).
35
Red blood cells (RBC)
Have binocave disks No nucleus No mitochondria No ribosomes Has hemoglobin (this is responsible for oxygen transport) Large service area (relative to its volume) Very flexible (changes shape)
36
In addition to hemoglobin what enzyme does a red blood cell contain
Carbonic anhydrase (CA)
37
Ambient pressure
- 760 mmHg - Millimeters of mercury - air in the alveoli at the end of one expiration and before the beginning or another inspiration also exerts a pressure of 760mmHg. - we need those molecules in order to change the volume, change the pressure gradients, in order to create flow!
38
Oxygen transportation
Hemoglobin Plasma
39
Carbon dioxide transportation
Hemoglobin Plasma Carbonic acid
40
“All biological processes are dependent upon oxidative phosphorylation” - your body and Dr. Dale Brown
- everything that you do as a person requires oxygen - metabolism will dictate oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production - carbon dioxide and H+ will also determine your respiratory rate
41
Respiration is controlled by?
Respiration is controlled by the ventilation centers located within the medulla oblongata These centers respond primarily to changes in CO2, O2, and pH levels in the blood
42
Ventilation control centers
- Dorsal respiratory group (DRG): maintains constant breathing rhythm by stimulating the dial rang and external intercostals - ventral respiratory group (VRG): involved in forced breathing (inspiration/expiration) by stimulating accessory muscles - Pontine Respiratory Group (PRG): - apneustic center: stimulate the DRG; controlling the depth of inspiration - pneumotaxic center: inhibit DRG; allowing relaxation after inspiration
