D. 95% of the total VO2
The concentration of myoglobin in skeletal muscle is increased with high altitude natives
A. True
The max heart rate of a 55 year old person is
165 bpm
Most of the lung funtion indices reach their max level between
20-25 years of age
Acute mountain sickness is characterized by
Sleep disorders, Headaches, Dizziness, palpitation, Loss of appetite
At the onset of exercise, sympathetic discharge causes the
HR to increase, Peripheral vascular system to constrict, heart to increase its strength of contraction, blood vessels of the working muscles to dilate (all of the above)
During max exercise, the O2 diffusion capacity may
increase. (as much as 3 fold)
The O2 diffusion capacity of high altitude natives is about
20-25% greater. GREATER
The half life of carboxyhemoglobin when a victim is breathing room air at 1 atm is approx
5 hours
During exercise, an increase in heart rate accounts for a greater proportion of the increased CO than the increase in SV T/F
true
If a patient has a SaCO level of 20% how long will it take to reduce the level to 10% if he is breathing 100% oxygen
B. 5 hours
During pulmonary rehabilitation programs, the patient is evaluated by a variety of tests, such as PFTs, ambulatory oximetry studies, and nutritional, pyschological, lifestyle, etc... needs. this is done during what phase of the program A. Phase 1 B. Phase 2 C. Phase 3 D. Phase 4
A. Phase 1
Length and intensity of exercise is primarily limited by
Cardiac function
Indications of hyperbaric oxygenation might include
All of the above- Decompression sickness, Thermal burns, Clostridial gangrene, Carbon monoxide poisoning
A person in a high altitude situation develops crackles in the bases, pink frothy sputum and shortness of breath; which of the following lung conditions is occurring
Pulmonary edema
at the start of exercise, what is the FIRST physiologic response
Increased HR
The epithelial lining of the tracheobronchial tree is primarily composed of
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
Most of the mucus that lines the lumen of the tracheobronchial tree is produced by
Submucosal glands
Type II cells produce
Surfactant
Mast cells produce
Histamine
The first 19 generations of the lower airways are called the
Conducting zone and deadspace (where no gas exchange occurs)
Respiratory zone
last 4 generations
The visceral pleura lines the
lungs
The parietal lines the
thorax
The right and left main stem bronchi, blood vessels and nerves enter and exit the lungs through the
hilum
The phrenic nerve originates from what point of the spinal cord
Cervical 3-5
This opens and closes over the glottis to prevent aspiration of fluids/ solids during inspiration and expiration
Epiglottis
Which of the following have an important function in the immunologic response of pt with asthma A. Goblet Cells B. Type 1 cells C. Beta 2 cells D. Mast Cells
Mast cells- create histamine= bronchospasm (allergic reaction)
Anteriorly, the base of the lungs extends to about the level of which of the following ribs
6th
Ribs eight, nine, and ten are referred to as the
False ribs
True ribs
1-7
The area between the base of the tongue and the epiglottis is called
Vallecula
What function do the lympathic vessels in the lung perform
Fluid removal
Which one of the following would facilitate mucocillary transport and sputum clearance A. Dehydration (8hrs) B. Cig smoking C. Humidity D. Hypoxia
C. Humidity
The primary muscles of relaxed breathing are the
hemidiaphragms
The submucosal glands empty their contents when which of the following occurs?
A. The sympathetic nerve send a signal
B. The parasympathetic nerves send a signal
C. The voluntary motor nerves send a signal
D. Type II cells are stim
B. The parasympathetic nerves send a signal
The surfactant that is produced by the Type II cells in the alveoli main function is to
Reduce surface tension
The primary innervations of the hemidiaphragms is provided by the
Phrenic nerve
Stimulation of the heart by the parasympathetic nervous system will result in
The heart rate decreasing
Stimulation of the heart by the sympathetic nervous system will result in
The heart rate increasing
Muscles of inspiration
Pectoralis Major, Scalene, Sternocleidomastoids, Trapezius
Muscles of Expiration
Transverse abdominis, Internal intercostals, Rectus abdomonis, External intercostals
The point at which the trachea bifurcates into the right and left main stem bronchi is called the
carina
All the arteries in the body carry oxygenated blood to their destination T/F
False
In infants, this is the narrowest point of the upper airway
Cricoid cartilage
When lung compliance decreases
Ventilatory rate increases, Tidal volume decreases
Normal Tidal volume range is about
3-4 ml/lb
Deadspace
Ventilation without perfusion
Shunt
Perfusion without ventilation
Physiologic deadspace combination of
alveolar and anatomical deadspace
Surfactant is produced by which type of cells
Alveolar type II
Which of the following plays the greater role in causing Vent rate to increase in response to a dec PaO2
A. Carotid bodies
B. Aortic bodies
A. Carotid bodies
Alveoli falls below the critical closing pressure =
the alveoli will collapse
Apnea
Complete absense of spontaneous ventilation
Normal breathing
Eupnea
Cheyne-Stokes breathing
fast to slow to apnea breathing
Hypoventilation breathing
shallow/ slow
Increased alveolar ventilation
Hyperventilation
Biots breathing
Short episodes of rapid, uniformly deep inspirations, followed by 10-30 seconds of apnea
Rapid rate of breathing is called
tachypnea
Anatomical deadspace is estimated by using which equation
1ml/lb
Decreased alveolar ventilation
Hypoventilation
Cervical vertebrae 3-5
Where phrenic nerve originates from

B. Air trapping and alveolar hyperinflation
Ten to thirty sec of apnea, followed by a gradual increase in volume and frequency of breathing, followed by a gradual decrease in the volume of breathing, until another period of apnea occurs is called
Cheyne-Stokes breathing
Normal Vd/Vt ratio is
25%-35%
The first 19 generation of the tracheobronchial airways are termed
Conduction zone
