Exam 4 Flashcards
Ventilation
respiratory center
intrapleural pressure
sightly negative pressure to create suction between visceral and parietal pleura
intrapulmonary pressure
wants to equalize pressure with atmosphere
tidal volume
amount of air inspired and expired with each breath (about 500mL)
increases with exercise
pulmonary compliance
elasticity of the lung
atelectasis
collapse of a portion of lung
hemoglobin
most 97% of O2 loosely combined with this and carried to cells
cardiac output, hematocrit and exercise
what is gas transport affected by?
Kussmaul breathing
fruity acetone breath
cheyne stokes
stop patterns in breathing
biots
irregular breathing
hypoxia
insfficient O2 to tissues anywhere in the body
hypoxia clinical signs
increased pulse, rapid shallow breaths, flaring of nostrils, intercostal retractions, cyanosis
orthopnea
inability to breathe except in upright position
emphysema
destruction of alveoli - CO2 retention
