Less?
Modest?
Options?

- Volume of air inspired or expired during a normal inspiration or expiration.
- Amount of air inspired forcefully after inspiration of normal tidal volume.
- Amount of air forcefully expired after expiration of normal tidal volume.
- Volume of air remaining in lungs at the end of a maximal expiration.
- Maximal amount of air that can be inhaled from the end-expiratory level of a tidal volume (VT+IRV).
- Volume of air in the lung at the end of a normal expiration.
- Volume change that occurs between maximal inspiration and maximal expiration (IRV+VT+ERV).
- Volume of air in the lung at the end of a maximal inspiration (RV + VC or FRC + IC).
- Tidal Volume
- Inspiratory reserve volume
- Expiratory reserve volume
- Residual volume
- Inspiratory capacity
- Functional residual capacity
- Vital capacity
- Total lung capacity
Leukotriene pathways in asthma
Leukotrienes are products of?
Potent?
Released by what type of cells?
Why does aspirin induce Asthma?
A-D

Concetpts

COPD classifications based on spiro

Combo B2 and antiinflammatory

Forced Expiration
Dynamic Compression
Increasing effort causes?
- Airway Ptm= 10-10 = 0 airway tends to collapse (equal pressure point)
- Driving force PA-Ppl
- Increasing effort causes similar increase of PA and Ppl

Peripheral receptors
Located on?
Respond to fluctuations in?
Responsible for the increase of? Due to?
Response to ___ is less important than that of central chemoreceptors
Mainly respond to?
4 things
- Located in aortic bodies and carotid bodies.
- Respond to fluctuations in blood O2 levels very fast.
- Responsible for all the increase of ventilation due to arterial hypoxemia.
- Response to arterial PCO2 is less important than that of the central chemoreceptors
- Peripheral chemoreceptors are located in the carotid and aortic bodies. They mainly respond to decreased arterial PO2, but are also stimulated by increased PCO2 and H+ (rapidly responding).
Hemoglobin synth

Pulmonary and Bronchial Circulation
Bronchial circulation is part of the?
Pulmonary circulatoin receives?
Other notes about pulm

Central Controller
Medullary respiratory center
DRG
VRG
2 parts
Apneaustic area in pons
Pneumotaxic center of pons
- Dorsal respiratory group (DRG): Cells have inherent rhythm that causes inspiratory cycles , controls diaphragm & external intercostals. Active for 2 sec during inspiration & quiet for 3 sec during expiration.
- Ventral respiratory group (VRG): Increased DRG activity stimulates the VRG which stimulates internal intercostals & abdominal muscle layers during forced expiration.
Apneustic: Stimulates DRG for normal inspiration (2 sec) or longer during forced inspiration (maximum inhalation)
Pneumo:
- Inhibits apneustic area to allow exhalation;
- Modifies the pace set by DRG and VRG;
- Its absence causes increase in depth of respiration and a decrease in respiratory rate.
Partial Pressure
Definition

Anti-inflammatory drugs Corticosteroids
MOA
Inhaled
Oral

Gas-exchange airways
What are they made of?
Alveolar Sacs
- Alveoli make up the wall of the alveolar sac
Ventilations perfusion matching
The alveolar pressure of both O2 and CO2 are determined by?
Two extreme? Results in?

Long acting B2agonists

Hemoglobin
Carries
Adults?

COPD diagnosis

Eosinophils
Stimulated by?
Secrete?
5 secretions
- • are stimulated by interleukin-3 (IL-3), IL-5, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) produced by TH2 lymphocytes and mast cells.
- adhesion molecules, particularly vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1), and by traveling along chemokine gradients to sites of inflammation.
- secrete cytotoxic granules that cause local tissue damage and induce airway remodeling, directly and indirectly to airway hyperresponsiveness
- major basic protein (MBP)
- matrix metalloproteinases
Antimuscarinics
MOA
Used with?
used when? ABC

Mechanics of Breathing: How the Lung is supported and Moved
- Respiration related pressures
- Muscles of respiration
- Elastic properties of the lung (compliance)
- Flow resistance properties (airway resistance)
- Dynamic Compression
- Work of Breathing
Bronchi/ Bronchioles
Conducting: 1-16
Respiratory: 17-23
Cartilage?
SM?
Lining?
Elastic fibers?
Glands?
Cells unique in bronchioles
From larger to terminal bronchiole 6 things
- Cartilage decrease: Ring shaped cartilage gives way to cartilage plates and eventually disappear
- Smooth muscle increases: SM increases in proportion and continuity as the vessel decreases in size
- Lining: TRE to simple columnar epithelium, epithelial layering and thickness decreases, Cilia decreases
- Elastic fibers appearance
- Mucous glands decrease in size and number and fewer goblet cells
- Clara cells bein to appear, unique in bronchioles (clara cells can reduce inflammation)
Dynamic Compression and pulmonary diseases
Factors that exagerate dynamic compression?
2
Dynamic compression in emphysema
2
- Resistance increase of the peripheral airways
- Low lung volume
- Driving pressure is reduced because of reduced recoil pressure
- Loss of radial traction on the airways makes them more compressible
Alveolar capillary unit
Interface?
SA
Capillary covers?
If something increased thickness what would happen?
- The blood-gas interface is the alveolocapillary membrane very thin (0.2-0.3 micrometers)
- Surface area 100 m ^2
- Capillaries cover 90% of the surface
- Disorder that thickens the membrane impairs gas exchange.
