Q

What causes vasoconstriction and bronchodilation

A

epinephrine

43
Q

Epinephrine indirectly causes what two things

44
Q

In a person with asthma what is normal inflamed

A

the wall of the airway

45
Q

In a person with asthma what happens during an asthma attack

A

air is trapped in the alveoli and the smooth muscles tighten

Q

What is surface tension in H2O caused by

A

hydrogen bonds

47
Q

What must always be moisturized and kept open

A

alveoli

48
Q

What reduces surface tension

A

surfactant

49
Q

WHy are premature babies who are susceptible to infant respiratory distress syndrome?

A

Because they do not produce surfactant cause they are premature

50
Q

What does CL stand for

A

Lung Compliance

51
Q

WHat are the two main factors influencing CL or Lung Compliance

A

Pliability (elasticity) and surface tension

52
Q

Emphysema is characterized by what

A

decreased CL or lung compliance because of smoking

53
Q

Why is weight loss and exhaustion common in people with emphysema?

A

due to hypoxia and labored respiration

54
Q

What happens physically in emphysema?

A

alveolar pores are replaced by huge holes

55
Q

In a person with emphysema why is the alveoli distended or over stretched?

A

result from persistent alveolar collapse during expiration

56
Q

In a person with emphysema why are the pulmonary capillaries damaged

A

increased resistance which also leads to cardiac hypertrophy on the right side

57
Q

What does AVR stand for

A

Alveolar ventilation rate

58
Q

What are the two types of dead space un AVR

A

Anatomical and alveolar dead space

59
Q

What is anatomical dead space?

A

Air remaining in the conducting zone

60
Q

What is alveolar dead space?

A

Air in a non functional alveolus

61
Q

Frequency of breaths x dead space equals

A

AVR

62
Q

WHat is boyles law

A

high pressure = low volume
and
low pressure = high volume

63
Q

What is daltons law of partical pressures

A

each part of a gas mixture exerts a PARTIAL PRESSURE proportional to its relative amounts

64
Q

Henrys law states that gases dissolve in liquid that is what

A

proportional to partial pressure

65
Q

What accounts for the greater partial pressure of CO2 and H2) in alveoli compared to the atmosphere?

A

C02 is higher in the lungs because that is where it is made

66
Q

In external respiration what is the job of the red blood cell

A

to pick up oxygen

67
Q

The external respiration gradient is composed of what two thing
