e4 Flashcards
The terminal bronchiole would
=contain lots of surfactant
-be part of the conducting zone
-contain alveoli
-have a diameter greater than the bronchi
BE PART OF THE CONDUCTING ZONE
Movement of air through the alveolar duct into the alveoli occurs by
DIFFUSION
Which pressure would be the least at the end of inspiration
-alveolar intrapulmonary pressure
-mouth pressure
-intrapleural pressure
-atmospheric pressure
INTRAPLEURAL PRESS
Total lung capacity=
Vital capacity + residual volume
Smoking causes lung damage which leads to tissue loss which can result in
-decreased compliance
-decreased alveolar surface area
-increased elastin
DECREASE in alveolar SA
If resp frequency is 20 breaths/min, tidal volume is 600mL anddead space is 150 mL, alveolar ventilation is
9 L
At sea level in a hot and humid place the partial P of O2 in the ALVEOLAR air of a healthy person is
about 100 mmHG
Which brain region is important for conscious control of breathing
subcortical
medulla oblongata
cerebral cortex
pons
Cerebral cortex
Structure of the lung facilitates the rate of gas exchange between the alveoli and blood by
Maintaining a high partial pressure of O2 in alveolus
Increasing surface area
Decreasing the thickness of the alveolar/capillary membrane
all of the above
Fibrosis of the lung
decreases lung compliance
increases lung compliance
increases airway resistance
decreases the airway resistance
decreases lung compliance
Which is an example of RESTRICTIVE pulmonary lung disease
black lung
copd
emphysema
asthma
black lung
Gases move between air and blood by
diffusion
primary active transport
facilitated diffusion
secondary active transport
diffusion
Pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the __ pressures each gas exerts independently
sum
The amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is determined by
temp
partial pressure of the gas
solubility
all
all of the above
a right shift in oxyhemoglobin disassociation curve means…
hemoglobin affinity for oxygen decreases
hemoglobin affinity for oxygen increases
hemoglobin saturation goes above 100%
oxygen cannot bind to hemoglobin
hemoglobin affinity for oxygen DECREASES
Fetal hemoglobin has a > affinity for O2 than adult hemoglobin, the disassociation curve is
shifted left
or right
left
Most of the co2 in blood is transported as
HCO3-
Which of the following is most likely decreasing alveolar PO2
pulmonary edema
asthma attack
anemia
asthma attack
Sleep apnea (obstructive!) might cause dropped PO2 by decreasing
alveolar po2
ambient po2
hemoglobin levels
aerobic respiration
Alveolar po2
The __ increases linearly with exercise intensity
heart rate
Blood flow to __- is similar at rest and exercise
kidney
The enzyme associated with renal function and control of water and salt balance
RENIN
What is TRUE of the loop of henle?
the ascending limb reabsorbs NaCl
The descending limb is permeable to water and the descending limb is impermeable to NaCl
The ascending limb is impermeable to water
All
all of the above
The ascending limb of loop of henle reabsorbs
NaCl
