MAPIISG1 - O2 Transportation Flashcards
What is DO2 = artieral O2 x CO?
Oxygen Delivery
With an increase in demand at the tissue, what happens to Oxygen Delivery (DO2)?
Normally based on demands of tissues (CO2 increases with increase in demand)
T/F: At rest Oxygen Delivery (DO2) = demand.
False: at rest, DO2 is 3-4x greater than demand
How is 98% of O2 transported?
in association with hemoglobin (Hgb)
Hgb affinity for O2 determined by ___ (3)
pH, temp, PCO2
changes produce shifts in oxyHgb dissociation curve
What is VO2 = arterial O2 - vO2 x CO?
Oxygen Consumption
What may happen to Oxygen Consumption (VO2) if there is a severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction?
it may fall short of demand
What is OER = VO2/DO2
Oxygen Extraction Ratio = Consumption / Delivery
What is Oxygen Extraction Ratio (OER) at rest?
~23%
What three factors are looked at with inspired oxygen and quality of air?
- Atmospheric Air
- Air Quality
- Humidity
Atmospheric Air:
__% O2
__% Nitrogen
__% CO2
Atmospheric Air:
21% O2
79% Nitrogen
0.03% CO2
What effect will poor air quality have on the respiratory system?
Poor air quality interferes with respiratory tract filtering – lead to inflammation of alveolar capacity.
What role does humidity play in respiration? Effects of a dry environment?
In alveoli, inspired air saturated with water vapor.
Dry environments: loss of mucous covering, erosion, and infection
What muscles are used for active inspiration and how? (2)
Diaphragm - dress the inferiro wall of the thoracic cavity, and therefore, increase volume.
External intercostals- elevate ribs and therefore increase the volume.
What muscle are used for normal expiration?
normally passive due to elastic force of lungs.
