85%

47
Q

the delineation point for airway obstruction is BLANK

A

equal to

70% or less

48
Q

what is the problem fir exhalation with bronchial asthma

A

harder because you are going from an increased surface area to a lower one (because of obstructed bronchioles
=more resistance, harder to expire volume

49

A

slow

50
Q

if you have pulmonary fibrosis, do you exhale fast or slow

A

fast

51
Q

what is the problem with restircive pulmonary fibrosis

A

it can lead to inhalation problems because you are not good at expanding lungs (small lung volume) so you exhale fast

true or false: compared to men, women have a reduced static lung function measure only

A

false, also dynamic

60
Q

what does the fact that women have reduced lung size and airway diameter, a smaller diffusion surface and static and dynamic lung function measures lead to

the maximum flow–volume envelope of the
airways, adversely

A

false it does not

63

aerobic fitness or exercise performance when values fall within the normal range

65
Q

respiraotry system IS/IS NOT a limiting factor for aerobic exercise

A

IS NOT

66
Q

what is minute ventilation

A

the vol of air breathed each minute

67
Q

what is the formula for minute ventilation

A
Minute ventilation (V·E) = Breathing rate (12 bpm) X tidal volume
(0.5 L)
68
Q

elite endurance athletes

A

35-45 breaths/min

60/70 breaths/min

70
Q

tidal vols for trained and untrained individuals rarely exceed what

A

60% of vital capacity

71
Q

In moderate exercise, well-trained athletes maintain

alveolar ventilation how ?

A

by increasing tidal volume with only a small increase in breathing rate

72
Q

As breathing becomes deeper during exercise, alveolar ventilation
increases from what to what

A

70% at rest to more than 85% of the exercise ventilation

73
Q

each person develops their own style of breathing where what 2 things blend to provide effective alveolar ventilation

A

breathing rate and tidal volume

74
Q

is modyfing breathing during PA a good idea>

A

no, Attempts to modify breathing during running or other
general physical activities offer no benefit to exercise
performance

75
Q

know slide 25

A

.

76
Q

what is ventilation-perfusion ration

A

The ratio of alveolar ventilation to pulmonary blood flow

77
Q

at rest how much air ventilates the alvelop each minute and blood through the capillary ~

A

4.2 L of air ventilates the alveoli each minute at rest
and ~5.0 L of blood flows through the pulmonary
capillaries

78
Q

what does the average ventilation perfusion ration ewual

A

0.84 Matchese each litaeral of pulm blood flow

79
Q

in light exercise, does the VP ration change much

A

no not really

80
Q

in intese exercise, does VP ratio change

A

yes goes to about 5 L

81
Q

what is anatomical dead space

A

Volume of air that fills all anatomical structures of the
respiratory system that are not directly involved in gas
exchange

82
Q

does all tthe inspired tidal volume at rest enter and mix into existing alveolar air

A

no only about 350/500 ml

83
Q

what is alveolar ventilation

A

Alveolar ventilation is the portion of inspired air reaching the alveoli and participating in gas

84
Q

what does alveolar ventilation determine

A

the gaseous concentration at the alveoalr capillary membrane

85
Q

is anatomical dead space a waste>

A

no it mixes gas and blood gas to combat extreme pressure differences

86
Q

what is the physiological dead space

A

The portion of the alveolar volume with a ventilation– perfusion ratio that approaches zero

87
Q

why do we get a physiological dead space in the alveoli

A

because Sometimes the alveoli may not function adequately in gas
exchange

88
Q

why is it that Sometimes the alveoli may not function adequately in gas
exchange

A

because of:
• Underperfusion of blood
• Inadequate ventilation relative to the alveolar surface

89
Q

in certain pathological sitauations physioolic dead spaces increase to what percentage of tidal volume

A

50%

90
Q

is there every a point where adequate gas exchange becomes impossible?

A

ues Adequate gas exchange becomes impossible when
the dead space of the lung exceeds 60% of total lung
volume

91
Q

what is hyperventilation

A

An increase in pulmonary ventilation that
exceeds the O2 consumption and CO2 elimination needs of
metabolism

92
Q

what is dyspnea

A

An inordinate shortness of breath or subjective

distress in breathing

93
Q

what is valsava maneuver

A

Closing the glottis following a full
inspiration while maximally activating the expiratory
muscles, creating compressive forces that increase
intrathoracic pressure above atmospheric pressure

94
Q

what does the valsava maneuver create

A

creating compressive forces that increase

intrathoracic pressure above atmospheric pressure

95
Q

when does valsava maneuver commonly occur

A

commonly in activities that require a rapid, maximum

application of force of short duration

96
Q

what is the consequence of performing a prolongued valsava maneuver (during static and straining typw execrise)

A

dramatically reduces venous return and arterial blood pressure

97
Q

what does reduced venous return in valsava maneuver diminish?

A

This diminishes the brain’s blood supply, often producing dizziness
or fainting

98
Q

what happens once the glottis opens and intrathoracic pressure normalizes after valsava

A

blood flow reestablishes with an “overshoot” in arterial blood
pressure

99
Q

does valsava cause relatively large increases in BP during heavy resistance exercise

A

no

100
Q

what do heavy resistance execiseres do

A

these exercises greatly increase resistance to blood flow in active muscle with a resulting rise in blood pressure

101
Q

why is it that cold ambient air normally not damge the respiratory passages

A

because of airway warming

102
Q

the airway warming of the respiratory tract during cold greatly increases the capaicty to do what

A

increases its capacity to hold moisture, which produces

considerable water loss from the respiratory passages

103
Q

in cold weather, the respiratory tract loses what

A

loses considerable water and

heat, especially during strenuous exercise

104
Q

what does fluid loss from the airways contribute to

A

contributes to dehydration, dry
mouth, burning sensation in the throat, and generalized
irritation of the respiratory passages
