Respiration

A

Is gas exchange: O2 and CO2
Occurs between atmosphere and body cells. Cells need O2 for aerobic ATP production and need to dispose of CO2 that process produces

A

The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas (i.e., its partial pressure) in the mixture

A

by arteriole diameter

66
Q

Ventilation less than perfusion

A

Mismatch:causes local increase of PCO2 and decrease of PO2
-pulmonaey arterioles serving these alveoli constrict bronchioles will dilate in response to increased CO2
Match: Decreased ventilation and decreased perfusion

67
Q

Ventilation greater than perfusion

A

Increased ventilation and perfusion of alveoli causes local decrease of PCO2 and increased PO2
Pulmonary arterioles serving these alveoli dilate
Match: increased ventilation and perfusion

68
Q

Blood’s ability to transport O2 depends on

A
  1. Solubility coefficient of O2 low only 2% O2 in plasma
  2. Amount of available hemoglobin (Hb) About 98% of O2 is bound to HbHbO2 = oxyhemoglobin; HHb is deoxyhemoglobin
69
Q

Three Ways to Transport Carbon Dioxide in Blood

A

As CO2 dissolved in plasma (7%)

Chemically bound to globin of Hb (23%)
CO2 + Hb HbCO2 (carbaminohemoglobin)

As bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in plasma (70%)
CO2 + H2O H2CO3 HCO3- + H+

Occurs inside RBC as they have the enzyme

H+ binds to Hb & buffers pH

70
Q

Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Bicarbonate

A
  1. CO2 movement CO2 diffuses into erythrocyte
  2. Formation of HCO3 and H+ once the erthycyte CO2 is joined to H2O to form carbonic acid by carbonic anhydrase H2CP32 splits into biatcarbonite and hydrogen ion (C)2 + H20 H2CO3. HCO3 + H+
  3. Chloride movement HCo3 which is negatively charged exits from the erythrocyte
71
Q

Conversion of HCO3 to CO2 at pulmonary capillaries

A
  1. Chloride movement HCO3 moves into the erythrocyte as CL- moves out
  2. Formation of CO2 and H2O HCO3 recombines with H+ to form H2CO3 which dissocitates into CO2 and H2O
  3. CO2 movement CO2 diffuses our of the erythrocytes into the plasma CO2 diffuses into an alveolus
72
Q

Hemoglobin (Hb) transports

A

O2 attached to iron
CO2 bound to globin
H+ ions bound to globin
Binding of one substance causes a change in shape of Hb
Influences the ability of Hb to bind or release the other two substances

73
Q

How many molecules can each Hb binds to

A

4 O2 Molecules (O2 sats)

74
Q

Oxygen-Hemoglobin Saturation Curve

A

Relates % O2 saturation of Hb to PO2

75
Q

A

PO2 goes down

76
Q

PO2 in blood after leaving lungs

A

104 mmHg = O2 sat =98%

77
Q

A

40 mmHg (75%)

77
Q

Oxygen Reserve

A

O2 that remains bound to Hb after passing through systemic circulation
PO2 in blood leaving lungs = 104 + 98% sat
PO2 in blood after tissue gas exchange during exercise = 20mmHg =35% O2

63% of transported O2 was released during tissue gas exchange

78
Q

Variables That Influence Hb’s Binding & Release of O2

A
  1. PO2 in blood most important
  2. Temp
  3. Blood pH (H+ binds Hb) lower pH and higher H+)
  4. Blood PCO2 (binds to Hb)
  5. Amount of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) in the blood

82
Q

Ventral respiratory group (VRG)

A

-Inspiratory neurons excite phrenic and intercostal nerves causing contraction of diaphragm and external intercostals
-Expiratory neruuons stop incporatory firing muscles relax and lungs recoil

83
Q

A

-Inspiratory neurones only
Receives and integrates sensory inputs and relays them to VRG

84
Q

Pontine respiratory center (PRC)

A

Regulates DRG & VRG
Receives sensory inputs like DRG
Ensures smooth transaction between inspiration & expiration
Damage to this area results in long, gasping inspirations followed by occasional expirations called

85
Q

Chemoreceptors

A

Most important stimulus is blood PCO2
increased stimuli, increased breathing rate and depth increased ventilation = more exhaled = homeostasis

86
Q

Central chemo receptors

A

-in medulla, monitor pH of CSF
-Changes in H+ induced by changes in blood PCO2
-Increased blood PCO2 = Diffusion into CSF = Increased conversion of CO2 to HCO3 + H+ = increased H+ = stimulation of chemoreccpetor s

87
Q

Peripheral chemoreceptors

A

In aortic arch bifurcation of common carotid arteries
Respond to H+ from sources other than PCO2 conversion
increased blood PCO2, decreased pH, or large decreased in PO2 to around 60 mm Hg (PO2 is normally ~100 mm Hg when it reaches these chemoreceptors)
Small decreased blood PO2 increased chemoreceptor sensitivity to increased blood PCO2

88
Q

Proprioceptors

A

in joints and muscles stimulated by movements increased breathing depth

89
Q

92
Q

Hyperventilation

A
