Q

what kind of receptor is located in the airway epithelium and responds to touch or noxious substances?

A

irritant receptors

responds to smoke, particle deposition and inflammatory histamines, serotonins and prostaglandins- activated during inflammation..

lung edema can also stimulate these receptors. stimulation results in coughing and gasping.

Q

what receptor is related to pulmonary vascular congestion?

A

J receptors
stimulus: edema
Tachypnea, sensation of dyspnea

17
Q

where are central chemoreceptors located?

A

ventral surface of the medulla

18
Q

what kinds of receptor is located in the ventral surface of the medulla and respond to changes in PCO2 and PH of the cerebrospinal fluid?

A

central chemoreceptors

19
Q

what separates the cerebral spinal fluid from the blood ?

A

the blood brain barrier

20
Q

what ions have the strongest effect on cerebral spinal fluid PH?

A

PCO2 because the blood brain barrier is very permeable to that and O2

and impermeable to H+ and HCO3, metabolic alkalosis has little effect on CSF PH.

21
Q

does metabolic or respiratory acid/ base have more impact on PH of CSF?

A

respiratory like PCO2

22
Q

an increase in PH causes alveolar ventilation to ______

A

decrease

23
Q

where are peripheral chemoreceptors located? what do they do?

A

located at the carotid and aortic bodies

they detect changes in PCO2, PO2, and pH
glomus cells= chemoreception site
carotid body= small sensory organ at the bifurcation of the carotid artery- afferents feed CNS via the glossopharyngeal nerves.

aortic bodies= multeple bodies along aorta- afferents feed CNS via vagus nerve

24
Q

how does glomus cells sense hypoxia?

A

if there is hypoxia it sense it and sends it to vagus and glossopharyngeal nerve ( afferents) and sends signal to respiratory center and PH gets change.

Glomus cells sense hypoxia with decreased PO2, increased intracellular Ca causes exocytosis of neurotransmitter vesicles and activation of afferents leading to CNS.
leads to depolarization and opens voltage sensitive Ca channels. glossapharyngeal turned on to change PH
glomus cell gets depolarized

25
Q

what becomes very active at low PO2, PCO2, PH and activates ventilation?

A

carotid body

the activity is potentiated by increased H+ and CO2

26
Q

what do aortic bodies detect?

A

low PO2

27
Q

what detects PCO2 and provides strong ventilatory response

A

central chemoreceptors

28
Q

what is held within PCO2 of 3 mmHG?

A

arterial blood

29
Q

what increases hypercarbic drive?

A

low PAO2

30
Q

what is the most important stimulus to ventilatory drive?

A

arterial PCO2

31
Q

COPD with emphysema

A
  • surface area available for gaseous exchange is decreased
  • since decreased gas exchange hypoxia ( low o2) and hypercarbia ( high co2)
  • the hypoxia and hypercarbia is due to impaired V/Q ( ventilation perfusion mismatch.= hypoxic vasoconstriction
  • hypoxic vasoconstriction= body is trying to cut down blood flow
32
Q

how do you treat patient with COPD with emphysema?

A

titrate oxygen in a way to maintain PaO2 at 60-65mmHg and achieve saturation of 88-92%

  • peripheral chemoreceptors might stop if you provide 100% oxygen because the only thing driving this person to breath is hypoxia… this case would remove the protective vasoconstriction leads to V/Q mismatch and perfusing crappy lung areas.. this leads to carbon dioxide level increase because hypoxia isn’t being corrected. this leads to oxygen induced hypercapnia… ( a lot of CO2)
33
Q

what is the only chemical drive for ventilation in a patient with COPD and emphysema ?

A

hypoxia sensed by peripheral chemoreceptors
