25
What is Valsalva's maneuver?
-glottis close to prevent exhalation -ab muscle contact -intra-ab pressure rises -empty rectum/ stabilize trunk during heavy lifting
26
What are the 3 layers of the trachea? What made of?
1) mucosa -ciliated pseudostratified 2) submucosa -CT with seromucous glands 3) adventitia -CT
27
Violent coughing will be triggered if any foreign object makes contact with what structure in the trachea?
carina, where branch into 2 bronchi
28
How many orders of branching do the air passages undergo?
23 = bronchial tree
29
What are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd subdivisions of bronchi?
-primary bronchi = left and right -secondary bronchi (lobar) = left (2) and right (3) -tertiary bronchi (segmental) = divide repeatedly
30
How does the wall composition change as one moves through the bronchial tree?
a) cartilage = rings + plates b) epithelium -pseudostratified columnar -columnar -cuboidal c) smooth muscle -para = constrict -symp = dialate
31
What do the alveolar walls consist of? (2)
type 1 cells = single layer of squamous epithelium type 2 cells = scattered cuboidal (surfactant)
32
What is the purpose of alveolar pores?
-connect adjacent alveoli =equalize pressure =alternate routes
33
What do alveolar macrophages do?
-keep surfaces sterile
34
What is the hilum and what do?
on mediastinal surface -exit/entry of blood vessels, bronchi, lymphatic vessels + nerves
35
What separates superior and inferior lobes?
oblique fissures
36
Where do nerves entre the lungs?
pulmonary plexus on the lung root
37
Name 2 pleurae and where are
I) parietal = on the thoracic wall, the superior face of diaphragm, around heart, between lungs II) visceral = on the surface of the lung
38
What is a common homeostatic imbalance?
a) pleurisy = pleural inflammation from pneumonia -inflammation = rough = pain -excess fluid = pressure = hinder breathing
39
What other fluids accumulate in the pleural cavity? (3)
-blood (damaged vessels) -blood filtrate (capillaries) -pleural effusion (fluid accumulation in cavity)
40
Intrapulmonary pressure -where? -how much? -when change?
- in the alveoli -760 mmHg -rise + fall with breathing
41
Intrapleural pressure -where? -how much? -when change?
-in the pleural cavity -756mmHg -lungs contract/recoil
42
Transpulmonary pressure -what? -how much?
difference between intrapulmonary and intrapleural -4 mmHg
43
When/how lung collapse?
intrapleural and intrapulmonary/atmospheric equalization in pressure
44
What happens when rupture parietal/visceral pleura?
pneumothorax =air in = collapse
45
Inspiration steps (5)
1. inspiratory muscles contract (diaphragm + external intercostals) 2. thoracic cavity increases 3. intrapulmonary volume increases 4. intrapulmonary pressure drops 5. air flows into the lungs
46
Expiration steps
1. inspiratory muscles relax 2. thoracic cavity decreases 3. intrapulmonary volume decreases 4. intrapulmonary pressure increases 5. air flows out of the lungs
47
Quiet inspiration
-active process -diaphragm + external intercostals contracts
48
Quiet expiration
-passive process -recoil diaphragm + relax intercostals
49
Deep/forced inspiration
-neck + chest -diaphragm + intercostals too
50
Depp/forced expiration
-contract abs
51
What the fuck is a spirometer?
measures the volume of air breathed in and out
52
Draw out respiratory volumes and capacities
have fun
53
What are the differences between alveoli and atmospheric gas? Why?
alveoli = more CO2 = less O2 -blood to air exchange diff -conduction zone more H2O -mixed with every breath
54
Explain ventilation-perfusion coupling
-amount of gas reaching the alveoli and blood flow in pulmonary capillaries -PO2 = perfusion (arteriole) -PCO2 = ventilation (bronchiole)
55
What affects the rate of O2 binding to hemoglobin? (5)
I) PO2 II) temp III) blood pH IV) PCO2 V) [BPG] in blood
56
How does the change in respiratory rate affect blood pH?
shallow breath = high CO2 - low H+ deep breath = low CO2 - high H+
57
Tissue CO2 to blood
I) diffuse in solution II) bind to Hg III) carbonic acid + water
58
Blood CO2 to lung
I) diffusion out II) bound to Hg III) bicarbonate ion
59
State Boyle's Law
the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume
60
Dalton's Law of PP
total pressure exerted by mixture of gases = sum of pressures of each gas
61
Henry's Law
amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is equal to its partial pressure
62
Pulmonary irritant reflex
bronchioles respond to dust, mucus, fumes = close passage, cough, sneeze
63
Inflation reflex
Hering-Breuer reflex -stretch receptors on pleurae =send message to stop inhaling
64
What happens when exercise requires a fast increase in ventilation?
hyperpnea = ventilation 10-20x increase -PO2, PCO2, pH remain constant
