Q

Is it easier to inflate a saline or air filled lung? Why?

A

Saline filled lung.

Because surface tension forces have been eliminated in the saline filled lung

20
Q

What is the percentage of total body energy required for ventilation?

A

3-5% of total body energy

21
Q

During normal inspiration what is happening to the (intra) pleural pressure?

A

It is becoming more negative

22
Q

What is the physiological significance of the transpulmonary pressure?

A

Measures the recoil tendency of the lung

23
Q

Without surfactant, as alveolar volume decreases, what to collapse pressure in the alveoli?

A

It increases

24
Q

Most of the oxygen that enters the alveoli is carried by what processes?

A

Diffusion

25
Q

What effect does sympathetic stimulation have o. Airway smooth muscle?

A

Dilation via beta receptors

26
Q

You would have to increase the velocity of pulmonary capillary blood flow how many times before arterial O2 levels would decrease?

A

4X

27
Q

What is the average total surface area of the respiratory membrane?

A

70 square meters

28
Q

Lymphatic drainage from the pleural space helps to create negative pleural pressure? T or F

A

True

29
Q

As air flows from the trachea to alveoli, what happens to velocity?

A

Decreases

30
Q

Why is a saline filled lung easier to expand than an air filled lung?

A

Decreased surface tension.

31
Q

As you expire a normal tidal volume, what happens to the concentration of oxygen in that expired air?

A

Decreases toward the end of expiration

32
Q

As you expire a normal tidal volume, what happens to the concentration of CO2 in that expired air?

A

Increases toward the end of expiration

33
Q

What effect does sympathetic stimulation have on the carotid body chemoreceptor?

A

Increases sensitivity to hypoxia

34
Q

The herring Breuer inflation reflex is best described as?

A

Inhibits the dorsal respiratory group at tidal volumes > 1500 mls

35
Q

At the end of inspiration how does alveolar pressure relate to ATM?

A

Alveolar pressure is equal to pleural pressure

36
Q

During inspiration what causes the lung to inflate as the chest wall expands?

A

Negative pleural pressure acts as a suction

37
Q

Why is the left ventricular output slightly higher than the right ventricular output?

A

Because some bronchial artery blood drains into the pulmonary veins

38
Q

At the end of normal expiration, where is most of the functional residual capacity located?

A

In alveoli

39
Q

On average, how much oxygen is taken up into blood from the lungs at rest per minute?

A

.25 liters

40
Q

As fatty acid utilization for energy increases, what happens to the metabolized oxygen?

A

More metabolic water is produced

41
Q

If the rib cage is completely immobile, how is inspiration possible?

A

Contraction of the diaphragm increases cage volume

42
Q

Transpulmonary pressure would be highest when?

A

At the end of normal inspiration.

43
Q

Under resting conditions, how much total body energy is consumed by muscles of inspiration?

A

2-3%

44
Q

At he start of normal inspiration, describe the rate of volume change compared to pleural pressure changes

A

The volume changes at a slower rate than the pleural pressure changes

45
Q

What percentage of the FRC is dead space?

A

Less than 10%

46
Q

All the blood from the bronchial arteries drains into the azygos vein. True or false

A

False. Venous drainage is into azygous (1/2) or pulmonary veins (1/2)

47
Q

What cranial nerve arrives the afferent traffic that stimulates a sneeze?

A

CN V ( trigeminal )

48
Q

Coughing is an effective way to clear smaller airways? True or false

A

False
