Q

how does the radii of the various tubes change as we move from the trachea to the alveoli?

A 
Radii of the tubules decreases due to shedding of epithelial cells. 
Conducting zones (g0-16) columnar/cuboidal epithelia, smooth muscles, thick cartilage
Respiratory zones (g17-23) type 1 and type 2 epithelia, No columnar/cuboidal epithelia, cartilage and smooth muscle = smaller radius

89
Q

What is metabolic alkalosis with respiratory compensation?

A

loss of body acids (ex. vomiting), increased pH.

lungs respond by decreasing ventilation so that acid can build up

90
Q

What is metabolic acidosis with respiratory compensation?

A

Since kidneys cannot eliminate strong acids (lactic acids, ketoacids), causes acidosis.
lungs respond by increasing ventilation to eliminate some excess acid build - up

91

A

insufficient ventilation, rise in PaCO2, pH decrease

kidneys respond by increasing HCO3- reabsorption

92
Q

99
Q

Within peripheral chemoreceptors, the response to a drop in PaO2 is greater when…

A

100
Q

102
Q

What are the two chemicals that are recepted to regulate breathing?

A

CO2 and H+

103
Q

What do central chemoreceptors respond directly to? Indirectly?

A

H+, CO2 can cross the BBB and be readily converted to H+ (indirect response)

104
Q

Are the peripheral necessary to detect CO2?

A

No, central chemoreceptors has same degree of effect alone as when working simultaneously with peripheral chemoreceptor

105
Q

A

Peripheral chemoreceptors

107
Q

If the CO2 and O2 levels are both low, is ventilation going to occur?

A

No, the low CO2 levels blunt the ability for the low O2 to increase ventilation

108
Q

How would you test the sensitivity of the chemoreceptors?

A

Administer low levels (4-5%) of CO2 through mask to observe increase in ventilation, should decrease again when CO2 levels are dropped

109
Q

What increases the sensitivity of CO2 receptors?

A

metabolic acidosis (exercise)

110
Q

How do chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases affect chemoreceptors?

A

In COPD, PaCO2 levels are chronically elevated and therefore cause the chemoreceptors to become desensitized to the high PaCO2. They must rely on the peripheral chemoreceptors to signal for their bodies to breath (via low PaO2 levels)

111

false
