Q

what is IRV?

A

volume of air you can breathe in after Vt

ex. breathe in normally AND then take in more air

22
Q

what is ERV?

what does this require?

A

the volume of air you can force out in addition to Vt

req. activation of expiratory muscles

23
Q

what is RV?

A

cannot voluntarily force this air out

amt of air that remains in lungs

24
Q

what is VC equation?

give ex. of what this is

A

VC = IRV + VT + ERV

breathe in as deeply as possible and exhale as much as possible

25
Q

IC equation

example

A

IC = IRV + Vt

breathe in as much as you can from normal resting point

26
Q

FRC equation

example

A

FRC = ERV + RV

air that remains in lungs at the end of a normal (passive) respiration

27
Q

TLC equation

example

A

TLC = ERV + IRV + RV + Vt

total volume of air in your lungs after a maximal inhalation

28
Q

what is the alveolar dead space

A

alveoli that get air, but do not get blood

No exchange occurs here

29
Q

what part of the lung is the smallest airways without alveoli?

A

terminal bronchioles

30
Q

where do alveolar capillaries arise from?

what is their main interaction?

A

Right ventricle

exchange of O2 and CO2 bw blood and air

31
Q

where do extra-alveolar capillaries arise from?

what is their main interaction?

A

Left ventricle

deliver O2 and CO2 to the lungs,

32
Q

what is venous admixture?

what characteristics does it have?

A

addition of venous blood into PV (physiological shunt)

reduces the PaO2 of arterial blood
Increases the PaCO2

33
Q

what is the source PaO2 and PaCO2 of the alveolar capillaries?

what is the blood gas content of these capillaries?

A

low O2, high CO2

high PaO2, low PaCO2

34
Q

what is the source gas content of the extra-alveolar capillaries?

what is the return blood gas content of these capillaries?

A

high PaO2, low PaCO2

low PaO2, high PaCO2

35
Q

BP equation

A

BP = CO x TPR

36
Q

Pulmonary BP equation (PBP)

A

PBP = CO x PVR

37
Q

the PVR is about what compared to the systemic (TPR)?

A

1/4

38
Q

what is PVR determined by?

A

high # of capillaries
how many are open at any 1 time
lung volume (VERY high or low)
symp tone/vasoconstriction forces (only a minor influence)

39
Q

what happens to PVR during exercise?

A

it DECREASES bc more pulmonary capillaries open up to accommodate INC CO

40
Q

what happens to resistance at very high or low lung volumes?

A

INC a little

41
Q

what is the major constrictor of PVR?
what is its normal value?
what is the major control of it?

A

hypoxia
low
local

42
Q

what is the normal level of systemic TPR?
what is the major constrictor of it?
what is the major control?

A

Moderate
Sympathetics
ANS

43
Q

what is the Zone I pulmonary alveoli, artery, and venous pressure relationship?

A

PA > Pa > PV

44
Q

what is the Zone II pulmonary alveoli, artery, and venous pressure relationship?

A

Pa > PA > PV

45
Q

what is the Zone III pulmonary alveoli, artery, and venous pressure relationship?

A

Pa > PV > PA

46
Q

where are the alveoli the biggest in the lung?

where is BP the highest in the lung?

A

apex

base

47
Q

what makes NO?

what does it have a major role in?

A

endothelium

normal pulmonary blood flow

48
Q

where is endothelin 1 made?

what does it do and when is it present?

A

lungs

vasoconstrict, pathological conditions

49
Q

where is TxA2 found?

A

pulmonary vasculature

50
Q

what starling force is different in the lung?

what does this force now favor?

A

hydrostatic pressure of the tissue Ptissue

filtration from capillary to the alveolus

51
Q

what removes the fluid that is filtered into the alveolar space?

A

the lymphatics
