Q

Since fetal hb has a higher affinity to o2 than adult, it makes it possible for…

A

For hemoglobin to bind up the loose stuff which will cause more to come off the adult hb so that fetal hb can bind to it

80
Q

If fetal and adult hb has the same oxygen affinity ..

A

Then fetal wouldn’t get enough oxygen to grow and develop

81
Q

What is the percentage of CO2 getting transported dissolved in the blood,plasma

A

About 10% of CO2

82
Q

What is the second way that transported in the blood?

A

Carbamino compounds

83
Q

What are carbamino compounds?

A

Is something where CO2 binds through a protein

84
Q

Carbamino compound is the term you wanna use because?

A

It covers the sub two categories

85
Q

What is subcategory #1?

A

Carbon dioxide bound to globin chains of hemoglobin inside RBC

86
Q

What is subcategory #2?

A

Carbons dioxide bound to plasma proteins

87
Q

Those two groups together are gonna carry somewhere between how much percent of CO2

A

20%- 25% of co2 that has to be transported in blood

88
Q

CO2 binding to globin chains or plasma proteins is reversible T/F

A

True

89
Q

Why is it reversible?

A

Just like oxygen, we need to be able to bind the carbon dioxide in places where we have high co2 levels, systemic capillaries,
And we need to be able to transport it to a place where we have lower CO2 levels like pulmonary capillaries

90
Q

When CO2 comes off protein…

A

Then it can diffuse into alveolus and we can breathe it out

91
Q

CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = HCO3- + H+

A
  • Water and CO2 combined using an enzyme called carbonic acid
  • bicarbonate and free hydrogen ions
92
Q

For respiratory, Carbonic acid is only found in

A

RBC

93
Q

Carbonic acid is called a weak acid meaning?

A

Som of its molecules will lose hydrogen ions and others won’t

94
Q

Between the dissolved CO2 and Carbamino compounds, that carries how much CO2

A

1/3 of CO2 that we need to transport in the blood

95
Q

What happens to the other 2/3?

A

Carried by carbon

96
Q

In places where you have high PCO2 like systemic capillaries, the CO2 being high,

A

I’m gonna put water together with CO2 to make carbonic acid

97
Q

Where is carbonic anhydrase located?

A

Inside RBC

98
Q

How can we hide hydrogen ion and bicarb?

A

Hb as some slightly negative areas on it, that will attract that hydrogen ion and Hb will buffer it. It’s not free anymore so it doesn’t contribute to the pH.

99
Q

The problem still is that hydrogen binding it very weak, we don’t trust that and so what we will do is..

A

We want to get rid of bicarbonate and out of the RBC and put it in plasma that has more room. We also separated our hydrogen ion and bicarb

100
Q

Bicarb has a negative charge T/F

A

True

101
Q

The more bicarb I move out of RBC..

A

The more positive it starts to get inside the RBC
(You keep taking negative things out and it becomes les and less negative in there)

102
Q

What happens eventually?

A

It will get so positive inside the RBC that I’m not gonna be able to move anymore bicarb in n out and then I have a problem

103
Q

What is the chloride shift?

A

When I want bicarb to leave the cell, it goes out in exchange for a chloride ion coming in
(I move something negative out and I’m exchange for something negative coming in and now I no longer have a charge problem and I can move all the bicarb into the blood that I want)

104
Q

Bicarb is outside the plasma, chloride is inside the cell and if you move chloride out then..

A

Bicarb comes back in so now I can set the conditions to make this run backwards so I get back to CO2 and that can leave and go into the lung

105
Q

There’s a PO2 in the interstitial fluid that’s ____ than the PO2 in the capillary

A

Lower

106
Q

The PO2 in the cell is even lower or higher

A

Lower

107
Q

Oxygen is gonna go from the capillary into?

A

The interstitial fluid and into the cell and the cell is gonna use it

108
Q

For the CO2, when we’re in the systemic capillary, the CO2 concentration is ____ in the cell

A

Higher

109
Q

PCO2is ___ in the interstitial fluid

A

Lower

110
Q

Where is the PCO2 lowest?

A

Systemic capillary

111
Q

CO2 goes from the cell to?

A

Interstitial fluid and into the capillary

112
Q

When you’re trying the get the CO2 back into pulm capillary, the co2 is?

A

The lowest

113
Q

In the whole system, what has the lowest CO2

A

Alveolar air

114
Q

Where is CO2 highest in?

A

RBC

115
Q

No interstitial fluid due to?

A

In respiratory membrane, things are stuck together

116
Q

Gas exchange: diffusing down the concentration gradient and no channels, no carriers, no help, just?

A

Just simple diffusion from higher to lower concentration

117
Q

How do we control all of this?

A

By changing the amount we breathe

118
Q

How do we change the amount we breathe..

A

By changing tidal volume, number of respirations I have per minute, and change both of them

119
Q

What do we NOT change?

A

Resistance

120
Q

We’re gonna adjust breathing, depth, or frequency by?

A

Adjusting how much or how often we contract the muscles that cause inspiration

121
Q

In the medulla oblongata, we have 2 areas that are gonna be involved in controlling breathing

A
  1. Dorsal respiratory group (DRG)
  2. Ventral respiratory group (VRG)
122
Q

Ventral respiratory groups is the part of the brain stem that controls?

A

Controls those muscles that trigger inspiration

123
Q

The VRG is the?

A

Rhythm generator
(Thing that says breathe in now, out now)
By controlling diaphragm, and intercostal muscles and inviting friends to help out for big breaths in

124
Q

What is the job of dorsal respiratory muscles?

A

To control the ventral respiratory

125
Q

How does DRG do it’s job?

A

It gets information and integrate it and tell the VRG to speed up or slow down or not change

126
Q

How is breathing controlled?

A

By CO2 levels and pH

127
Q

If PO2 drops, and you want it to go up, should you breathe more or breathe less ?

A

More

128
Q

When PO2 gets below a certain point, what does the brain do?

A

It tells you to stop breathing

129
Q

What happens if you don’t breathe when PO2 gets low?

A

You die

Q

Chemoreceptors are looking for changes in?

A

Chemicals

131
Q

What are the chemoreceptors looking at?

A

What the PCO2 is and what the pH is

132
Q

Where are the peripheral chemoreceptors

A

Right near the carotid baroreceptors

133
Q

What are the peripheral baroreceptor most sensitive to?

A

Changes in PCO2

134
Q

What is the peripheral baroreceptors second most sensitive to?

A

Changes in free hydrogen ions

135
Q

Central chemoreceptors are located in?

A

The hypothalamus

136
Q

Central chemoreceptors are most sensitive to?

A

Changes in hydrogen ion concentration

137
Q

Central chemoreceptors are second most sensitive to

A

PCO2

138
Q

What is the reason for the difference?

A

There’s a lot more protein in blood than cerebrospinal fluid

139
Q

If you don’t have enough protein, what happens to pH?

A

The pH changes don’t get buffered

140
Q

Spinal fluid is not buffered as well as blood T/F

A

True

141
Q

This means that you are gonna see changes in?

A

hydrogen ions first

142
Q

You see changes in hypothalamus before you would see them in

A

Peripheral ones

143
Q

Both sets of chemoreceptors detect changes in?

A

PCO2 and pH

144
Q

If PCO2 goes up, how are you gonna get rid of CO2?

A

Breathe more

145
Q

If PCO2 is low,

A

You’re gonna breathe less

146
Q

If you have a pH that is high, what does that tell you about the concentration of free hydrogen ions?

A

It’s low

147
Q

High ph equals

A

Low hydrogen ions

148
Q

What detects high PCO2?

A

Chemoreceptors detect

149
Q

That information from chemoreceptors goes to?

A

Dorsal respiratory group

150
Q

DRG will chew on this for a while and integrate other things that are going on and make decisions which will send the info to?

A

Ventral respiratory group

151
Q

All we can do is

A

Breath more or less

152
Q

What is the DRG gonna tell the VRG?

A

Increase respiration

153
Q

More I breathe out, it will lower or rise PCO2?

A

Lower

154
Q

Decreasing PCO2 will do what to the hydrogen ion concentration?

A

Decrease

155
Q

Decrease of hydrogen ion will do what to pH?

A

Increase

156
Q

pH and PCO2 move in opposite directions T/F

A

True

157
Q

How do we transport most CO2?

A

Bicarb and H+

158
Q

The more PCO2 I have, the higher?

A

Hydrogen ions are

159
Q

PCO2 and hydrogen ions move in ?

A

The SAME direction

160
Q

PCO2 and pH moves in?

A

OPPOSITE directions

161
Q

The more CO2 I have, the more

A

Carbonic acid I make

162
Q

The more carbonic acid I make,

A

The more free hydrogen ions I wind up with

163
Q

If I lower the CO2, I lower?

A

Carbonic acid and hydrogen

164
Q

If you put a bicarb and free hydrogen ion together, what happens to the hydrogen ion?

A

It isn’t free anymore so it can’t contribute to lowering the pH

165
Q

What is the Hering Breuer Reflexes?

A

Get info from stretch receptors and when the stretch receptors get too stretched, the signals they’re sending inhibit the inspiration muscles and you automatically breathe ojt

166
Q

Blocking any further inspiration and making you breathe out, what happens to stretch

A

Decreases the stretch and you don’t damage lungs

167
Q

If there’s not enough stretch on stretch receptors, what will it trigger?

A

Contraction of inspiratory muscles

168
Q

Now we use Hering Breuer inspiratory Reflexes because?

A

The smaller the lungs get, smaller alveoli get and the harder they get to open

169
Q

This is only important in? And why

A

Very early in life before we have fully functional chemoreceptor loops

170
Q

What else let’s us control breathing?

A

Cerebral cortex, highest level control

171
Q

What type of muscles lets us breathe in and out?

A

All skeletal muscle
Under voluntary control

172
Q

Choosing not to breath in happens at? (Singing, talkin)

A

Cerebral cortex controlling muscles that control breathing

173
Q

If you hold your breath for too long, what happens

A

The voluntary control will be overridden by the chemoreceptor reflex, if PCO2 gets too high, the DRG doesn’t care what you want to do, you will breathe.

174
Q

What are the miscellaneous things that control breathing?

A

Sudden painful stimulus

175
Q

What does Sudden painful stimulus produce?

A

Reflex apnea
(Putting ice cube down your back)

176
Q

Longer painful stimulus cause?

A

Faster and deeper respiration

177
Q

What triggers chocking reflex?

A

Irritation of the larynx or pharynx by something touching it or fumes for chemicals

178
Q

What goes into a choking reflex?

A

Temporary apnea

179
Q

Why do you get temporary apnea?

A

If something is irritating throat, either physically or chemically, you will want to get away from that thing before you breathe again

180
Q

What does the choking reflex also help you avoid?

A

Aspirating food or liquid

181
Q

For respiratory system especially at gas exchange in the lungs to work effectively, what do you need?

A

Ventilation perfusion matching

182
Q

What is ventilation perfusion matching?

A

I have an alveolus, and a capillary that we pass, what I need for this to work at it’s best is to have air going into alveoli that have blood going to the capillaries

183
Q

If you have air coming in but no blood,what happens?

A

Im wasting air

184
Q

If I have blood coming in with the alveoli, the alveolus isn’t getting air delivered to it, what happens..

A

Wasting blood

185
Q

Blood coming back from venous side of circulation where blood is moving more slowly and blood is likely to clot, it goes through right side of heart and into lungs.

The lungs can act as?

A

Filters for some of those smaller blood clots

186
Q

How does elastic recoil help with breathing?

A

It stretches and return to its resting size to help keep blood moving through diastole

187
Q

Alveoli, chest wall, and diaphragm also have elastic recoil T/F

A

True
Helps us breath out

188
Q

What is the opposite of elastic recoil?

A

Compliance

189
Q

When talking about compliance, what are we talking about?

A

How much the pressure in something changes depending on how much volume we put in it

190
Q

For our lungs to properly, we have to have a balance between?

A

Elastic recoil and compliance

191
Q

Having too much elastic recoil happens in a?

A

premature baby

192
Q

Elastic recoil in a premature baby

A

The alveoli, because they have elastic and surface tension, they get small really quickly
- no problem breathing out but crazy amount to breath in

193
Q

Compliance happens in someone who has?

A

Emphysema

194
Q

How can you tell someone has emphysema just by looking at them?

A

Barrel chest and well developed neck muscles
- they have to breathe out actively

195
Q

In emphysema, the alveoli..

A

Is bigger than they should be and they don’t have any elastic recoil

196
Q

At one end where you have too much elastic recoil, you have?

A

No problem at all breathing out but way too much work breathing in

197
Q

At the other end where you have too much compliance, you have?

A

Work to breath out and you’re also gonna have higher residual volume which means when you breath in, you’re not gonna be able to get much air in bc there’s already so much air in your lungs to begin with
