26
Q

The airways at the bronchiole recieved nutrients from which circulation bronchial or pulmonary

27
Q

Where does part of the bronchial circulation return to

A

Systemic venous system

28
Q

What is a broncho pulmonary shunt

A

Some of the blood is shunted by draining back into the pulmonary veins instead of flowing in the systemic venous system

29
Q

Normal pulmonary reading

30
Q

What does hypertension cause

A

Extra pulmonary - narrowing, left ventricular failure that prevents blood moving away from the heart

Intra pulmonary - changes pulmonary vessels by blocking them by fat, amniotic fluid, cancer.

31
Q

Main result of pulmonary hypertension

A

Increased pressure producing a pumping load on the right heart.

Resulting in oedema, chest pain, fatigue, modified heart sounds

32
Q

If someone had a pulmonary oedema what will the xray look like

A

Butterfly shadow

33
Q

What is pleurisy

A

Inflammation of the pleura

34
Q

What is dry pleurisy

A

No effusion

Pain caused by the raw pleura moving across the other

35
Q

What is wet pleurisy

A

Significant effusion

If wet enough it can cause collapse of the lung

36
Q

If effusions contain too much protein what is it called.

If they contain less protein what is it

A

Lots - transudates

Little - exudates

37
Q

Rate of air transit through the nose

38
Q

Air temperature in the nose is raised from 20C to what

39
Q

Temperature of the air by the time it reaches the trachea

40
Q

How many times more heat is used to vapour use water than to heat the air

41
Q

How much gets recovered in expiration

42
Q

What is counter current heat exchange

A

Mucosa of the nose is much colder than the exhales air from deep in the lungs forming condensation drops

43
Q

Do smaller or larger droplets fall faster

A

Large drops fall faster

44
Q

For particles to travel deep into the lungs what size will they need to be

A

Very small

45
Q

What was stokes law

A

Terminal velocity of a falling sphere - radius 2

46
Q

What is MMAD

A

Mass mean aerodynamic diameter

47
Q

What size are 95% of particles

48
Q

How do particles get trapped in the mucous of the nose and pharynx

A

Turbulence throws particles out of the airstream, particles are swept in mucous via cilia

49
Q

How are small particles removed

A

Sedimentation

50
Q

Particles get trapped in mucous and travel up what

A

Mucosillary escalator

51
Q

How thick is the mucus blanket

52
Q

How fast do cilia beat

53
Q

Size of the smallest particles

54
Q

How do particles stick to the wall if there is no mucus

A

Surface tension

55
Q

What do particles get ingested by

A

Amoeboid macrophages

56
Q

What is used in detoxification

A

Cytochrome P450

57
Q

Name some proteins that dilate some blood vessels

A 
ATP
ADP
AMP
Noradrenaline
Bradykinin
58
Q

Name a serotonin

59
Q

Name an inflammatory response

A

Leukotrienes

60
Q

Name some prostaglandins

A

PGE1, 2

PGF2a

61
Q

What do lungs activate and by what

A

Activate ANGI and ANGII

By ACE

62
Q

How much of ACE plasma is converted in a single pass through the lungs

63
Q

Name 5 non respiratory functions

A
  1. Blood filtration
  2. Blood fluidity
  3. Blood capacity
  4. Cooling
