FINAL EXAM: Unit 5 Flashcards
what happens to pressure when volume increases?
pressure decreases
what are bronchoconstrictors?
parasymp (ACh->musc)
histamine
leukotrienes
what are bronchodilators?
symp (E -> beta2)
low O2 = high CO2
what is the difference b/w type 1 and type 2 alveoli?
type 1: gas exchange
type 2: secrete surfactant (reduces surface tension of H2O)
what is tidal volume?
volume of inspiration and expiration
what is inspiratory reserve volume?
volume of inspire above tidal volume
what is expiratory reserve volume?
forceful exhale after expiration
what is residual volume?
volume left in lungs after max exhale
what is vital capacity?
IRV + ERV + V(T)
what is total lung capacity?
VC + RV
what is inspiratory capacity?
TV + IRV
what is functional residual capacity?
ERV + RV
what happens during inspiration? (pressure, diaphragm, muscles)
-volume increases, pressure decreases
-diaphragm contracts
-pressure is higher in the environment
-external intercostals, sternocleidomastoid, scclenes
what happens during expiration? (pressure, diaphragm, muscles)
-volume decreases, pressure increases
-pressure is higher in alveoli
-internal intercostals, abdominals
what is lung compliance?
high: stretches easily, fills with air
low: requires more force
what is the equation for total pulmonary ventilation?
breathing rate * tidal volume
what is the equation for alveolar ventilation?
breathing rate * (tidal volume - dead space)
what happens in restrictive and obstructive diseases?
RESTRICTIVE: decreased lung compliance
-FEV1 & FVC decrease same amount
OBSTRUCTIVE: decreased airflow
-FEV1 decreases more
which has the higher pressure for O2, alveoli or pulmonary capillaries?
alveoli
which has the higher pressure for CO2, alveoli or pulmonary capillaries?
pulmonary capillaries
which has the higher pressure of O2, cells or systemic capillaries?
systemic capillaries
which has the higher pressure of CO2, cells or systemic capillaries?
cells
what is the equation for CO2 -> HCO3-
how does high altitude, surface area, distance, concentration gradient, permeability, and resistance impact diffusion?
high altitude (decreased pressure) = (-)
surface area = (+)
distance = (-)
concentration gradient = (+)
permeability = (+)
resistance = (-)
how does a high pH, high temp, more CO2, and more 2,3-BPG affect Hb-O2 affinity?
high pH = (+)
high temp = (-)
more CO2 = (-)
more 2,3-BPG = (-)
which way does the graph shift when the affinity of Hb-O2 increases?
shift left
how does CO2 get converted to HCO3-? what is the pathway of transport for CO2 to the environment?
H2O + CO2 = H+ + HCO3- (carbonic anhydrase)
1. HCO3- exits RBC
2. Cl- enters RBC
3. HCO3- in plasma goes into another RBC
4. converted back into CO2
5. alveoli
6. environment
how does DRG, PAG, and VRG regulate ventiliation?
DRG: controls muscles of inspiration
PAG: controls firing rate of DRG
VRG:
-prebotzinger complex=controls firing rate of PRG
-other areas= control muscles of expiration
