Q

What property of the capillary network means that secondary neoplasia is common?

The oesophagous is sep from the trachea by bilateral tracheo-oesophageal grooves which meet to form..

A

laryngeotracheal tube

27
Q

Laryngeotracheal tube becomes

A

lobar bronchi

28
Q

What embryological tissue forms the visceral lining

A

endoderm

29
Q

Foetal Hb has a _______ affinity for Oxygen

A

Higher

30
Q

What is the value of the negative pressure of the lungs

A

60mmHg below atmospheric

31
Q

horses inspiration / expiration is

A

both passive and active - biphastic breathers

32
Q

define compliance

A

= change in lung volume/change in lung pressure

33
Q

surface tension is..

A

when Hbonds cause water to behave as a film

34
Q

Surfactant is needed to …

A
  • reduce surface tension
  • break h bonds
  • allows alveoli to inflate
35
Q

Alveolar pressure is defined as:

A

P(alv) = 2 x surface tension/radius

36
Q

Would a small alveolus have a smaller or larger pressure

A

same as higher conc of surfatant

37
Q

Resistance is calc by:

A

R = 8 x length x substance/ Pi x radius x 4

38
Q

How do horses increase the radius of their upper airways

A

nostrils and conchi dilate

39
Q

Smooth muscle can be manipulated to increase radius of airways, how?

A

B2 Adreno-R agonists –> dil

Para stim —> bronchspasm

40
Q

function dead space =

A

not perfused so no gas exchange

41
Q

atmos p at sea level =

A

760mmHg

42
Q

pO2 =

A

21%

43
Q

The higher the partial pressure, the _____ it will dissolve

A

easier

44
Q

PH20 at alveolus =

A

50mmGh

45
Q

Ferric iron (Fe3+) has a higher or lower affinity to Hb than Fe2+?

A

Higher

46
Q

What is methaemoglobin?

A

Hb Fe+++, not 2+! Lower Oxy carrying ability, higher affinity though!

47
Q

Increased body temp, ___ Hbs affinity for O2

A

Decreases. exercising m need O2 when hot

48
Q

What is chlorid shift?

A

When Cl- move into a RBC as a Bicarbonate ion moves into plasma

49
Q

On an Xray veins are where?

A

Ventral and central

50
Q

Alveolar vessels are

A

capillaries which undergo gas exchange

51
Q

What happens during lung inflation to the alv and extraalv vessels?

A
  • Alveolar vessels collapse via stretch of the alv wall

- Extraalv expand via radial traction and perfuse lungs tissue

52
Q

Sympathetic control of the bronchial vasculature results in…

A

constriction

53
Q

Nitrous oxide is released by endothelial cells when..

A

Para symp stim
Bradykinin

inc blood flow and speed

causes vasodil

(also red PLT and WBC adhesion!)

54
Q

Hypoxia in lung tissue leads to

A

vasocon, to redirect blood to more well perfused area

55
Q

Cattle has lots of smooth m in bronchioles, poor ventilation will lead to..

A

Pulmonary hypertension
inc afterload

CHF

56
Q

Describe the hering-Breuer reflex (hint: over inhalation)

A
  • DORS resp centre stimulate inspiration
  • Stretch R in pons signal to pons to stop stimulation
  • this prevents over inhalation
