A

slightly negative

39
Q

What is the alveolar pressure during expiration?

A

slightly positive

40
Q

Air pressure that opposes alveolar pressure is called what?

A

Atmospheric pressure

41
Q

What is the pressure of fluid in the thin space between lung pleura & the chest wall?

A

Pleural pressure

42
Q

Is pleural pressure negative or positive?

43
Q

Which pressure keeps lungs open to their resting level?

A

pleural pressure

A

Transpulmonary pressure

45
Q

What is another name for “transpulmonary pressure”?

A

recoil pressure

46
Q

What is lung pressure compliance?

A

how far the lungs will expand per unit of increased transpulmonary pressure

47
Q

Lung pressure compliance is based on what 2 factors?

A
  1. elastic forces of lungs itself

2. surface tension of fluids in & around the lung

48
Q

A

False; 20x more absorbable to CO2 than O2

49

A

the brain stem

50
Q

What are Central chemoreceptors most sensitive to?

A

An increase in CO2, secondary to decrease in O2

51
Q

Where are Peripheral Chemoreceptors located?

A

carotid body and Aortic body

52
Q

What are Peripheral Chemoreceptors most sensitive to?

A

decrease in O2 and increase in CO2

53
Q

What is a common symptom of decreased O2 to the brain?

54
Q

What is the “Hamburger shift”?

A

Chloride shift

55
Q

What is the purpose of chloride shift?

A

Keeps pH constant from 7.35-7.45

56
Q

What percentage of carbon dioxide in the blood is bicarbonate ion?

57
Q

What occupies 23% of carbon dioxide in the blood?

59
Q

Carbonic anhydrase is an irreversible enzyme

A

False, it is reversible

60
Q

What is the carbonic anhydrase reaction?

A

converts H2O + CO2 ← → H+ + HCO3

61
Q

What is the purpose of carbonic anhydrase?

A

Balances the pH by breathing off CO2
