Lecture 4- Control of Respiration Flashcards
inspiration requires …. in motor neurons
action potentials
expiration due to … of motor neuron activity and lung …
cessation
recoil
rhythmic contraction is controlled by … neurons
pacemaker
activity of pacemaker neurons can be modulated by activity of …
pulmonary stretch receptors
The Hering–Breuer inflation reflex is a reflex triggered to prevent … of the lung. Pulmonary stretch receptors present in the smooth muscle of the airways respond to excessive stretching of the lung during large inspirations.
over-inflation
activity of pacemaker neurons can also be modulated by ….. which have inhibitory effects and can result in death
drugs (barbituates and opiates/morphine)
3 things that can affect the activity of pacemaker neurons
pulmonary stretch receptors
drugs
partial pressures of respiratory gases and [H+]
if there is a decrease in PO2 then what happens to ventilation rate
increase
if there is an increase in PCO2 or [H+] then what happens to the ventilation rate?
increase
the regulation of ventilation rate by respiratory gases and [H+] involves … in two locations
chemoreceptors
peripheral chemoreceptors (aortic and carotid bodies) are stimulated by … [H+} or … PO2
increased [H+}
decreased PO2
central chemoreceptors are stimulated by …. [H+] in extracellular fluid in brain
increased
T/F chemoreceptors can detect dissolved oxygen as well as oxygen bound to hgb
false. can only detect dissolved O2
ventilation rate increases below a PO2 of about … mmHg
60 (hgb is still 90% saturated, so vent rate responds well before blood is close to depleted)
is ventilation rate more sensitive to PO2 or PCO2?
PCO2
