LEO CHEAT SHEET Flashcards
Larynx innervation is by the
Vagus nerve
Motor innervation of larynx: 2 parts
External Superior Laryngeal
Recurrent Laryngeal
the SLN (external branch) innervates the
Cricothyroid muscle, which tenses and adducts the vocal cords.
Which muscle TENSES the vocal cords
CricoThyroid muscle (add)
Which muscle RELAXES the vocal cords
ThyroaRytenoids
Muscle ADDUCT cord
Lateral Cricoarytenoids (bring it in from the side)
Muscle ABDUCT cord
Posterior Cricoarytenoids (You take it out back)
Sensory ABOVE VOCAL CORDS
Internal Superior Laryngeal
Sensory BELOW ABOVE LOCAL Cords
Recurrent Laryngeal
Pharynx: Motor provided by
Spinal Accessory
Pharynx: Sensory provided by
Glossopharyngeal
Normal P50 =
26-27 mm Hg
Factors shifting Oxygen Dissociation curve to the right
CADET faces RiGHT Increase CO2 Increase [H+] (Acidosis) Decrease pH Increase Temp Increase 2-3 DPG Sickle cell
Factors shifting Oxygen Dissociation curve to the LEFT
Decrease CO2 Decrease [H+] (Alkalosis) Increase pH Decrease Temp Increase CO poisoining(Carboxyhemoglobin) Fetal Hemoglobin Methemoglobin Sickle cell
Right shift significance
Release (RR) Decrease O2 affinity (increase RELEASE of O2 to the tissues)
Left shift significant
Love O2 (LL) Increase O2 affinity
Bohr effect” PaCO2 affects Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve
A decrease in pH shifts the standard curve to the right, while an increase shifts it to the left.Carbon dioxide affects the curve in two ways: first, it influences intracellular pH, known as the Bohr Effect,
Co2 and H+ Affect O2 delivery
The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve shows the relationship between the
hemoglobin saturation (SO2) at different oxygen tensions (PO2).
The P50
is the oxygen tension at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated.
