Q

What effect will poor air quality have on the respiratory system?

A

Poor air quality interferes with respiratory tract filtering – lead to inflammation of alveolar capacity.

Q

What role does humidity play in respiration? Effects of a dry environment?

A

In alveoli, inspired air saturated with water vapor.

Dry environments: loss of mucous covering, erosion, and infection

Q

What muscles are used for active inspiration and how? (2)

A

Diaphragm - dress the inferiro wall of the thoracic cavity, and therefore, increase volume.

External intercostals- elevate ribs and therefore increase the volume.

Q

What muscles are used for forced expiration and how? (2)

A

Internal Intercostals - compress and lower the ribs and therefore decrease volume.

Abdominals - compress the abdonimal cavity elevating organs and diaphragm therefore decreasing volume.

17
Q

What five things is diffusion of O2 from alveolar sacs to pulmonary arterial circulation based on?

A
  1. Surface area of alveolar capillary membrane.
  2. Diffusing capacity of alveolar capillary membrane
  3. Pulmonary capillary blood volume
  4. Ventilation/perfusion ratio
  5. Transit time of blood in alveolar capillary membrane
18
Q

Diffusion of O2 varies directly with ____ and indirectly with ____.

A

Diffusion of O2 varies directly with SURFACE AREA OF ALVEOLI and indirectly with THICKNESS OF ALEVOLAR-CAPILLARY MEMBRANE.

19
Q

When upright, where is perfusion in the lungs optimal?

A

around horizontal midline of lungs

20
Q

What is Ventilation (V) / Perfision (Q)?

A

~0.8

21
Q

Myocardial function: optimal with synchronized ____ and ____.

A

Myocardial function: optimal with synchronized ELECTRICAL COUPLINE and MECHANICAL CONTRACTION.

22
Q

Define Preload

A

Preload is the filling pressure of the heart at the end of diastole. The left atrial pressure (LAP) at the end of diastole will determine the preload.

23
Q

The greater the preload, the greater will be the ___

A

volume of blood in the heart at the end of diastole.

24
Q

Inotropic effect is ___ while Chronotropic effect is ___.

A

Inotropic effect is FORCE while Chronotropic effect is RATE OF CONTRCTION.

25
Q

Define Afterload

A

Afterload is the pressure in the wall of the left ventricle during ejection. In other words, it is the end load against which the heart contracts to eject blood

26
Q

What is a normal ejection fraction?

A

55-70%

This and HR can be used to measure impairment

27
Q

Large vessels ted to have more ___, while medium to small vessels have more ___.

A

Large vessels ted to have more ELASTIC AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE, while medium to small vessels have more SMOOTH MUSCLE.

28
Q

What is the purpose of arterioles?

A

Regulate blood flow thru regional vascular beds

29
Q

Does O2 diffusion occur slowly or quickly

A

quickly

30
Q

What does intracellular PO2 average?

A

23 mmHg

31
Q

What PO2 is needed for cell metabolism?

A

3 mmHg

32
Q

Is rate of O2 extraction regulated by availability or demand?

A

demand

33
Q

What are 4 normal factors that “shake up” O2 transport?

A
  1. Activity
  2. Position (i.e. gravity)
  3. Emotion
  4. Stress
34
Q

What are 6 disease factors that “shake up” O2 transportation?

A

  3. Disease Itself
  4. Inflammation Process
  5. Medication
  6. Fluid Imbalance
35
Q

What effected does restricted/reduced activity on CO? VO2? OER?

A

Decrease in CO, VO2, OER and impacts multiple other systems

36
Q

What 4 effects does bed rest have?

A
  1. Changes in fluid distribution
  2. Decrease in muscle activity
  3. changes in body weight distribution and pressure
  4. aerobic deconditioning and all that impacts with oxygen transport/exchange
37
Q

What 2 effects does a loss of gravitation stress have on the body?

A
  1. Fluid shift from body/legs to thorax head

2. Musculoskeletal changes

38
Q

What are 3 external signs of oxygen transport dysfunction?

A
  1. Skin: pale, cyanotic, cold
  2. Speech: short of breath
  3. Diaphoresis: sweating
39
Q

What are 5 internal signs of oxygen transport dysfunction?

A
  1. Vital signs
  2. Respiratory patterns
  3. Hypoxia/low pulse oximetry
  4. Poor peripheral circulation
  5. Decrease capillary refill (>3 sec)
