39
Q

Describe the Fibrinolytic System in normal hemostatic control

A

Pleural pressure is a ballance of pressure between visceral and pareital pleura

57
Q

Is Plural Pressure normally negative or Positive compared to atmospheric pressure?

A

Negative (-5 to -4)

58
Q

Does pleural pressure increase or decrease during inspiration?

A

It decreases or becomes more negative due to chest wall and lung expansion (lung volume increases)

59
Q

A

Increase

62

A

Decrease

64
Q

What is transpulmonary pressure (recoil pressure)?

A

Measurement of the elastic forces in the lungsthat tends to collapse the lungs during expiration

65
Q

Define lung compliance.

A

-Measure of how easy it is to inflate the lung -Relates lung volume changes to changes in transpulmonary pressure (Slope of the P-V curve)

66
Q

How much PTP does it take to expand only the lungs?

A

200 ml/cm H2O pressure required to inflate the lungs only

67
Q

How much PTP does it take to expand the lungs and thoracic cage

A

110 ml/cm H2O pressure required to inflate the lungs and thoracic cage = * ½ as much pressure is required to inflate the lung

68
Q

Describe what happens to volume and pressure if an alveolus is more compliant.

A

The more compliant an alveolus is, the less pressure is required to fill it with larger volumes of air.

69
Q

70
Q

Give some examples of decreased lung or thoracic cage compliance

A

Scar tissue from Tuberculosis Pulmonary edema Surfactant deficiency Paralysis of intercostal muscles

71
Q

How much PTP does it take to expand the lungs and thoracic cage?

A

110 ml/cm H2O pressure required to inflate the lungs and thoracic cage = * ½ as much pressure is required to inflate the lung

72
Q

Describe what happens to volume and pressure if an alveolus is less compliant.

A

The less compliant an alveolus is, greater pressures are required to fill it with smaller volumes of air.

73
Q

Describe the two elastic forces of the lungs.

A
  1. 33% of elastic forces of the lung tissue are caused by the elastic tissues of the lung (elastin and collagen fibers interwoven with lung parenchyma. 2. 67% is caused by surface tension at air fluid interface
74

What is surface tension?

A

A strong collapsing force within the lung

75
Q

Name the types of alveolar cells.

A

76
Q

What is the Law of Laplace?

As radius decreases, surface tenrion decreases

77
Q

What is the equation?

A

P= 2 x Surface Tension)/radius of alveoli (r)

78
Q

How does the Law of Leplace work during inspiration and expiration?

A

During exhalation, reduced surface tension causes alveoli to assume the smallest diameter possible (prevent collapse) so as r gets smaller surface tention gets smaller as well so P is adequate for small alveoli to stay open - During inhalation, surface tension must be overcome to expand the alveolus

79
