Q

Explain excitation-contraction coupling

A

Stimulus causes a rush of Na to enter which allows L type Ca channel to let in a little Ca which binds Ryanodine receptor and causes a large rush of Ca from SR which binds tropomyosin and expresses actin, allowing myosin heads to swing and cause tension pulling Z band. Muscle relaxes and ATP drives Ca back into the SR through SERCa

A

NO

134
Q

What is the difference between bulk flow and diffusion

A

Bulk flow is the flow from high pressure to low pressure (independent of gas composition)
Diffusion is the random flow from high pressure to low pressure (dependent on gas composition)

A

Diffusion

136

138
Q

Describe difference between VdotA and VdotM

A

VdotA is volume of air entering alveolar per minute while VdotM is the amount of air entering the lungs per minute. VdotA matters more than VdotM because VdotA only takes the air reaching the respiratory zone into consideration.

139
Q

What’s the best way to increase VdotA?

A

Deeper breaths to fill the alveolar space rather than hyperventilation which fills mostly only dead space

140
Q

A

Reduce the surface tension that help to reduce the CL (lung compliance)

144
Q

What are the 3 determinants of lung compliance?

145
Q

What are the 3 determinants of airway resistance?

A

Geometry: length and branching angles

146
Q

What are the 3 processes required for efficient gas exchange?

A

Alveolar ventilation
Perfusion of blood from systemic circulation
Perfusion of gases across the membrane

147
Q

What is Henry’s law?

A

In equilibrium, partial pressure in gas and liquid phases are identical (allows for transfer of gases into liquid through alveolar surface)

148
Q

What role does gas diffusion have on solubility?

A

High molecular weights cause gas to diffuse exponentially more

149
Q

What is Fick’s Law?

A

Rate at which a gas flows across a membrane is dependent on
Surface area
Thickness of membrane
Diffusibility of gas (gamma)
Difference in partial pressure of gas

150
Q

What supply the alveolar tissue with nutrients?

A

Bronchial arteries (pulmonary arteries bring deoxygenated blood)

151
Q

What are the 3 starling forces?

A

3

154
Q

What zone is an abnormal heart in?

A

1

155
Q

What is hypoxia vasoconstriction?

A

Reduced airflow to alveoli results in lower blood flow to these areas

156
Q

What is hypocapnic bronchoconstriction

A

When airways are exposed to gas with lower than normal PACO2 which redirects blood flow to better regions

157
Q

Does O2 bound to Hb contribute to PaO2

A

NO
Only dissolved O2 in plasma does

158
Q

What is the law of mass action?

A

Velocity of a reaction is proportional to the product of the concentration of the reactants

159
Q

What are the 3 ways the body handles acids?

A

Respiratory - Ventilation: minutes to hours
Metabolic - Buffers
Metabolic - Renal: hours to days

160
Q

What is the most important buffer?

A

Bicarbonate buffer

161
Q

What are the 3 ways that CO2 can transport in the blood stream?

A

Dissolved
As bicarbonate
As carbinohemoglobin

162
Q

What are the 3 measured values in blood

A

pH
PCO2
PO2

163
Q

What are the 2 calculated measurements in blood?

A

HCO3 (bicarbonate)
Base excess

164
Q

What are the normal values for pH, PaCO2, HCO3?

A

7.4, 40, 24

165
Q

What is the threshold for acidemia and alkalemia?

A

7.35 and 7.45

166
Q

What is positive base excess and what is negative base excess?

A

Negative: base acidosis
Positive: base alkolosis
BE DOES NOT CHANGE IN ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTURBANCES

167
Q

What are the metabolic interpretations of blood gas?

A

Base excess
PCO2
pH

168
Q

What are the respiratory interpretations of blood gas?

A

PCO2
PO2

169
Q

Which way does the primary disturbance go?

A

Goes in the direction of the pH!

170

BASE EXCESS DOES NOT CHANGE IN ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTURBANCES

A

YES

171
Q

What spinous processes make up the withers?

A

T2-T8

172
Q

What are the 3 epaxial msucles from lateral to medial?

A

Longissimus, spinous system, multifidis

173
Q

What is the epaxial muscle?

A

Longus colli

174
