Lecture - Chapter 29 & 30 Flashcards
How does gaseous exchange occur in the alveoli?
Simple Diffusion
States that net flow is proportional to the concentration gradient, is present as a partial-pressure gradient?
a. Graham’s Law
b. Fick’s Law
c. Henry’s Law
d. Dalton’s Law
b. Fick’s Law
Which of the following is TRUE regarding the diffusing capacity of the lungs.
Net flow of oxygen is proportional to the surface area of the barrier
It describes number of oxygen molecules moving across the entire are of the barrier per unit time.
a. Flow
b. Flux
c. Diffusion
d. None of the Above
a. Flow
Venous PCO2?
a. 20 mmHg
b. 40 mmHg
c. 45 mmHg
d. 100 mmHg
c. 45 mmHg
Partial pressure of the oxygen in the arterial blood is normally lower than that alveolar gas primarily because:
Oxygen requires pressure gradient diffuse into the blood in the initial portion of the capillary
Pulmonary diffusing capacity of O2 is depended except:
Hemoglobin concentration of blood of pulmonary capillary
Gas exchange is more efficient in apex and less efficient in the base
TRUE or FALSE
TRUE
Which of the following will increase the diffusing capacity of the lung?
Exercise
What happens at the end of inspiration?
The Lung Surface Area maximizes
12 Steps in Diffusion from Alveoli to Hgb in Extracellular Matrix.
A. D2
B. D4
C. D6
D. D8
C. D6
Reasons why CO slowly rise down the pulmonary capillary?
Reasons:
- CO flux is LOW
- CO diffusion is extremely LOW
- Hgb Continuously Traps incoming CO
Diffusion Limited
A. CO
B. CO2
C. NO
D. NO2
A. CO
Reason Why O2 Reach Diffusion Equilibrium Faster than CO?
- Hemoglobin enters the pulmonary capillary and is already heavily preloaded with O2.
- Alveolar PO2 is high, the Alveolar-Blood PO2 gradient is large and initial rate of O2 diffusion from the alveolus in the pulmonary Capillary of blood is immense
- DL for O2 is higher than that for CO
Pathological Changes where there is increase in Airway resistance and Leads to Destruction of Pulmonary capillaries.
A.Diffused Pulmonary Fibrosis
B. COPD
C. Loss Of Function
D Anemia
B. COPD
