The antibody class of allergic disease is? Fundamental to?
- (IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD, and IgE) An antibody, or an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a small protein molecule created by the immune system to have a close structural “fit” to the surface of a foreign substance. The foreign substance is an antigen. Five classes of antibodies, namely IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD, and IgE, depending on their particular functions in the immune response
- Granulocytes: mast cells, eosinophils Agranulocytes: lymphocytes…
- Chemical substances that are secreted by immune cells to induce (or respond to) an ongoing immune response generated against a specific exposure to the body.
- IgE fundamental to the allergic response
- Inspiration is ____ but _____ during rest is passive. The most important muscle of respiration is the?
- The _____ curve is nonlinear and shows ____. The ____ pressure of the lung is attributable to both its ____ tissue and the _____ ___ of the alveolar linging layer
- Properties of ___ affect lung compliance and abnormal ____ production causes?
- ____ ____ of the airways during forced expiration results in flow that is ____ independent.
- Inspiration is active, but expiration during rest is passive. The most important muscle of respiration is the diaphragm.
- The pressure-volume curve of the lung is nonlinear and shows hysteresis. The recoil pressure of the lung is attributable to both its elastic tissue and the surface tension of the alveolar lining layer.
- Properties of surfactant affect lung compliance, and abnormal surfactant production causes IRDS.
- Dynamic compression of the airways during a forced expiration results in flow that is “effort independent”.
Summary of Agonists
SEs
Distribution of Perfusion
Zones
Airway cross sectional area
2 things,
end result
- Individual airway diameter, decreases with branching
- Overall or total cross-sectional diameter increases a lot
This results in a decreased airflow speed and a decrease in resistnance causing optimal diffusion.
Hematopoietic cells
Symptoms of COPD
Airway hyperresponsiveness
Hypersensitivity
Hyperreactivity
- the propensity of asthmatic airways to constrict in response to a wide variety of stimuli.
- a normal response at abnormally low levels of stimuli.
- an exaggerated response at normal to high levels of stimuli.
Chronic bronchitis
defined as?
for how long?
increase in?
Respiration related pressures
- Alveolar Pressure (PA)
- Intrapleural pressure (Ppl)
- Airway pressure gradient (Patm-Pa)
- Transpulmonary pressure (PA-Ppl)
- Transchest wall pressure
- Relative Patm, remains negative throughout inspiration process
- Pressure in space between parietal and visceral pleura
- This is the pressure gradient driving airflow into the lungs
- Transmural pressure across the lungs; increases and decreases with lung volume
- Ppl-Patm
Distribution of perfusion
Neurochemical control of ventilation
The 3 basic eliments of the respiratory control system:
- . Sensors that gather information and feed it to the central controller.
- Central controller in the brain coordinates the information and, in turn, sends impulses to the effectors.
- Effectors (respiratory muscles) cause ventilation
Emphysema Contributing Factors
Changes in lung tissue
two sub
- Breakdown of alveolar wall
- Decrease SA for gas exchange
- loss of elastic fibers
- loss of pulmonary capillaries
- Altered ventilation/perfusion ratio
- Decrease support for small bronchi
- Progressive difficulty with expiration
- Air trapping, increases residual volume
- Overinflation of lungs
Factors determining airway resistance
Lung Volume
Relation to resistance?
- Resistance decreases as lung volume increases because the airways are more open.
Regulation of erythro synthesis
Airway resistance
Laminar and Turbulent
- Laminar slow- determined by Poiseuilles law
- resistance at different divisions of the airway is different- resistance mainly ocurrs in larger airway where speed is higher and the radius is small in comparison to terminal bronchioles
