Blood flow (perfusion)

75
Q

77
Q

An increase in Kf would correlate with an increase in _______ _________.

78
Q

What is HPV (hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction) ?

A

Mechanism by which poorly ventilation portions of the lung are vascularly bypassed through arterial constriction.

79
Q

Where in the figure below does HPV occur?

A
80
Q

How can HPV contribute to right ventricular heart failure?

A

HPV will vasoconstrict thus increasing PVR = increased RV afterload.

81
Q

What concept is being described with the diagram in the figure below?

A

Alveolar size contrasted with blood vessel dilation/perfusion.

82
Q

Where would we expect greater air flow to occur in the diagram below? (assume an inspiration from FRC)
Why?

A

Alveoli in apex are more full, therefore air will preferentially fill the bottom portion of the lung.

83
Q

Where would we expect greater air flow to occur in the diagram below? (assume an inspiration from RV)
Why?

A

Positive PTP at the base of the lungs would cause air to preferentially fill the apex of the lung prior to the base.

84

A

HPV (Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction)

85
Q

When exercising, is it better to increase respiratory rate or depth of breathing to ensure adequate O₂ inhalation?
Why?

A

Depth of breathing: this is because VA is increased with no wasted air on VD.

86
Q
