Q

Internal respiration

A

Exchange of gases between systemic capillaries and tissue cells

24
Q

Po2 in tissue cells

A

40 mmHg

25
Q

Po2 in systemic capillaries

A

100 mmHg

26
Q

Pco2 in tissue cells

A

45 mmHg

27
Q

Pco2 in systemic capillaries

A

40 mmHg

28
Q

Why is pco2 higher in tissue cells than in capillaries

A

Bc co2 is product of ATP

29
Q

O2 doesn’t dissolve well in water so only 1,5-2% is

A

Dissolved in plasma of blood

30
Q

98-98.5% of o2 is

A

Bound to Hb in RBC

31
Q

Hb composed of four subunits with each a heme group and can carry

A

4 o2 atoms

32
Q

Hemoglobin is what type of molecule

A

Protein

33
Q

Each heme group (on every globin protein chain) has an iron atom at the center that binds with

A

1 o2 molecule.
1 RBC contains ~ 1 billion hb molecules

34
Q

O2 sat =

A

Amount of o2 bound/max that could bind X100 = __%

35
Q

When o2 binds to heme group it causes a

A

Confirmational change (increases affinity of 3 other o2 molecules )

36
Q

Once o2 unloads, all other o2 molecules

A

Loose affinity for heme groups

37
Q

Po2 bet 60-100 mmHg Hb is

A

90% or more saturated with o2

38
Q

Affinity of Hb yo o2 is affected by

A
  1. Temperature
  2. PH
  3. Pco2 and co
  4. 2,3- diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG)
39
Q

In Hb graph: green red and blue curves mean

A

Green: higher Hb affinity (po2 of 50 = 90%)
Red: normal (po2 50 = 83%)
Blue: reduced affinity (po2 50 = 73%), Hb is letting go of o2 (usually in tissues)

40
Q

Temperature on Hb graph

A

T increases, affinity decreases. Heat is product of metabolic reactions, metabolically active cells need more o2

41
Q

Ph on Hb graph

A

Decrease in ph = decrease in affinity.
H+ ions bind to Hb (protein) so alters structure slightly -> decrease o2 carrying capacity. More o2 available for tissue cells

42
Q

Pck2 and ph are related bc

A

Low blood ph results from high pco2

43
Q

As pco2 rises, Hb affinity

A

Decreases (releases o2)

44
Q

Why does co2 lower ph

A

Bc when entering blood most is temporarily converted to carbonic acid -> unstable and dissociates in H+ and bicarbonate-> [H+] increases

45
Q

During exercise, lactic acid (byproduct of anaerobic metabolism within muscles) does what to blood ph

A

Decreases ph

46
Q

DPG (substance found in RBC) increases, Hb affinity

A

Decreases bc Hb binds o2 less tightly when combined with DPG

47
Q

After entering the bloodstream, a co2 molecule

A
  1. Dissolves in plasma (7%)
  2. Binds to hb within rbc (23%)
  3. Converted to carbonic acid (70%)
48
Q

Co2 that dissolves in plasma dies what when reaching lungs

A

Diffuses into alveolar air and is exhaled

49
Q

When co2 binds to hb it makes

A

Carbaminohemoglobin on rbc

50
Q

Co2 binds where on hb

A

Globin proteins (doesn’t compete with o2 bc not same place)

51
Q

Pco2 is high in systemic capillaries which promotes formation of

A

Carbaminohemoglobin

52
Q

Co2 in Carbaminohemoglobin exits body how

A

In pulmonary capillaries, pco2 is low so Hb releases co2 that enters alveoli but diffusion

53
Q

Enzyme turning co2 in carbonic acid

A

Anhydrase

54
Q

How co2 that transforms into carbonic acid exit body

A

Carbonic acid dissociates into h+ and bicarbonate ions (either peed out or kept in buffer system) and reenters rbc, leaves it and diffuses out

55
Q

Co poisoning how

A

Co combines to heme group too but binding is 200x stronger than o2 so can’t be released as well. At [0,1%] of CO, half available Hb are bound with it so o2 carrying capacity is reduce by 50%.
