Q

Oxygen loading in the lungs decreases hemoglobin’s affinity for H+. How does this promote alveolar gas exchange?

A

The released H+ combines with HCO3- to form free CO2, which can diffuse out of the blood.

Q

what are the 4 factors that stimulate oxygen unloading in response to metabolic rates of different tissues?

A

(1) lowered P O2 –> lower P O2 == releases more oxygen

(2) higher temp temp –> higher temp == more oxygen unloading

(3) lower pH –> (Bohr effect) lower pH == more oxygen unloading

(4) increased BPG –> increased BPG == more oxygen unloading

22
Q

True or false: The chloride shift allows RBCs to continue to produce carbonic acid.

A

True

chloride shift allows HCO3- to be pumped out of RBC in exchange for Cl- to come in from blood plasma

23
Q

Higher temperatures ___ the unloading of oxygen from hemoglobin.

A

promote

24
Q

RBCs usually leave the systemic capillaries at about 75% oxygen saturation. Which term refers specifically to the oxygen remaining in the blood after it passes through a capillary bed?

A

Venous reserve

25
Q

Which term refers to the exchange of gases (O2 and CO2) that occurs in the capillary networks between the blood and the body’s cells?

A

Systemic gas exchange

26
Q

The Bohr effect occurs because CO2 lowers the pH of the blood, which (as this graph illustrates) facilitates the unloading of oxygen from hemoglobin. Given this, what is the physiological significance of the Bohr effect?

A

More oxygen is released to tissues that have higher metabolic rates.

more CO2 –> more H+ –> H+ binds to hemoglobin –> causes unloading of oxygen

27
Q

According to this figure, most of the carbon dioxide you exhale comes from which of the following?

A

Bicarbonate ions transported into the RBCs and used to generate free CO2.

28
Q

Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) promotes which of the following?

A

Oxygen unloading

29
Q

Oxygen is unloaded in the body tissues because the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is lower in the systemic capillaries (compared to its affinity in the alveolar capillaries). Which factor contributes to this?

A

CO2 produced in the peripheral tissues leads to increased H+ concentration.

30
Q

Is P O2 higher in tissue fluid or in alveoli of lungs?

A

higher in alveoli of lungs. Tissue uses oxygen very rapidly –> leads to low P O2 in tissue

31
Q

Deoxygenated blood can carry more carbon dioxide, whereas oxygenated blood has a lower carbon dioxide carrying capacity. This phenomenon is known as the ___ effect.

A

Haldane

32
Q

Active tissues are warmer than less active ones. Based on that information and the graph shown here, which of the following statements is true?

A

More oxygen will be delivered to more active tissues.

33
Q

What is the normal systemic arterial blood gas value for PO2?

A

95 mm Hg

34
Q

True or false: All of the oxygen transported in the blood is usually unloaded at a systemic capillary.

A

False

some oxygen remains in blood, providing a venous reserve of oxygen

35
Q

For a given PO2, hemoglobin unloads ___ oxygen at lower pH.

A

more

36
Q

A general term for a drop in the pH of blood below 7.35 is ___

A

acidosis

What is the normal systemic arterial blood value for PCO2?

A

40 mm Hg

41
Q

Which term refers to an excess of carbon dioxide in the blood?

A

Hypercapnia

42
Q

RBCs usually leave the systemic capillaries at about 75% oxygen saturation. Which term refers specifically to the oxygen remaining in the blood after it passes through a capillary bed?

A

Venous reserve

43

True or false: Evidence suggests that ventilation increases more quickly in response to high levels of CO2 than it does to low levels of O2 in the blood.

A

True

44

A blood pH of 7.1 would be called ______.

A

acidosis

45

Hypoxic drive refers to a condition where the respiratory centers of the brainstem respond to which of the following?

A

PO2 of arterial blood

46
Q

Which term refers to an acid-base imbalance in which the blood pH is higher than 7.45?

A

Alkalosis

47
Q

Deoxygenated blood can carry more carbon dioxide, whereas oxygenated blood has a lower carbon dioxide carrying capacity. This phenomenon is known as the ___ effect.

A

Haldane

48

A

hypercapnia

49
Q

Peripheral chemoreceptors trigger an increase in ventilation in response to which of the following?

A

High levels of blood CO2

50

52
Q

Which best summarizes the Haldane effect?

A

The rate of CO2 loading into the blood is increased in metabolically active tissues
