27
Q

cooperative binding

A

binding of O2 to Hb causes a conformational change to Hb, making it easier for the next O2 to bind

28
Q

why is the fourth binding of O2 and Hb harder?

A

it requires a very high pO2

29
Q

why is it hard for the first O2 to bind to Hb?

A

the polypeptide chains of the Hb are tightly bound together

30
Q

define affinity

A

tendency of Hb to combine/associate with O2

31
Q

how is an increased rate of respiration maintained?

A
  • increased respiration in respiring tissue
  • small decrease in ppO2 in plasma
  • large decrease in % saturation of Hb
  • more O2 unloaded to the respiring tissue
  • increased respiration rate maintained
32
Q

average pO2 of a respiring tissue versus a respiring muscle tissue

A
  • ppO2 2
  • ppO2 4
33
Q

why does the steepness of the curve in the middle help tissue function more efficiently?

A
  • small change in ppO2 of blood at the respiring tissue results in a large decrease in the % saturation
  • tissues receive a lot more O2 to maintain aerobic respiration
  • aerobic respiration more efficient than anaerobic respiration
34
Q

explain the process of oxygen loading

A
  • in the lungs, O2 diffuses into the blood plasma
  • pO2 increases
  • increased affinity
  • association of O2
  • Hb + 4O2 = HbO8
35
Q

explain the process of oxygen unloading

A
  • at respiring tissues, O2 diffuses out bood plasma
  • pO2 decreases
  • affinity decreases
  • dissociation of O2
  • HbO8 -> Hb +4O2
36
Q

Mass transport

A

The bulk movement of liquids or gases in one direction, usually through a system of tubes or vessels

37
Q

5 types of blood vessel

A
  • artery
  • arteriole
  • capillary
  • venule
  • vein
38
Q

why are there more fluctuations in BP at the aorta?

A
  • aorta directly linked to left ventricle whic has a higher BP
  • aorta has stretch and recoil due to elastic tissue
39
Q

which vessel has the lowest BP and why?

A

vein as furthest from last pump

40
Q

how does an increase in number of blood vessels result in a decreased flow rate?

A

as number of vessels increases, friction increases, so BP decreases so low rate decreases

41
Q

why is rate of blood flow lower at capillaries?

A

so exchange can occur

42
Q

function of smooth muscle in arterioles?

A

redistribute blood through vasoconstriction and vasodilation

43
Q

why do arteries have thick layer of smooth muscle and elastic fibres?

A
  • muscle = contract maintain BP
  • elastic = contract to withstand and recoil to maintain BP
44
Q

why is the endothelium of blood vessels smooth?

A

reduce friction

45
Q

why do arteries have a narrow lumen?

A

maintains high BP

46
Q

diameter of an artery

A

0.1-10nm

47
Q

diameter of a vein

A

0.1 - 10nm

48
Q

function of semilunar valves in veins

A

prevent backflow of blood

49
Q

why do veins have a narrow lumen?

A

reduces frictional resistance so blood flows faster

50
Q

diameter of a capillary

A

8 micrometres

51
Q

function of the basement membrane in capillaries

A

prevent proteins passing out the capillary

52
Q

name and functon of the pores in the capillary wall?

A

fenestrations - allow formation of tissue fluid

53
Q

how to RBCs reduce blood flow rate in capillaries?

A

have to pass through single file

54
Q

why is the lumen of cpaillaries so narrow?

A
  • increases total CS area
  • more SA in contact with blood
  • increased friction
  • decreased flow rate
  • increased rate exchange
55
Q

how does contraction of skeletal muscle allow venous return

A
  • skeletal muscle around vein contracts and squeezes vein
  • volume in vein decreases and pressure increases
  • forces valve in from of poit of contraction open and valve behind shut
  • prevent backflow of blood and ensure unidirectional flow of blood back to heart
56
Q

how does atrial diastole create a suction effect on blood?

A

pressure decreases below systemic pressure

57
Q

how does inhalation create a suction effect on blood?

A

increase volume of horacic cavity, decreases pressure in thorax, blood flows down a pressure gradient

58
Q

4 functions of blood

A
  • transport fluid
  • thermoregulation in endotherms
  • immune response
  • maintains pH of body fluid
59
Q

ratio of cells to plasma in blood

A

45:55

60
Q

cell contents of blood

A
  • erythrocytes
  • leukocytes
  • thrombocytes
61
Q

7 contents of blood plasma

A
  1. water
  2. proteins
  3. ions
  4. nutrients
  5. waste
  6. hormones
  7. gases
62
Q

4 adaptations of RBCs for more efficient O2 transport and exchange

A
  • flattened biconcave shape
  • no organelles
  • high concentrations of Hb
  • diameter is larger than the capillary lumen
63
Q

what is tissue fluid?

A

blood plasma without proteins or blood cells

64
Q

4 steps of tissue fluid formation

A
  1. ultrifiltration of tissue fluid - blood plasma is forced out capillary at arteriole end due to high hydrostatic pressure; some osmosis due to low WP in capillary
  2. substances exchanged with cells
  3. absorption of waste products and osmosis of water due to low WP in blood and low hydrostatic pressure
  4. excess tissue fluid drains into lymph vessel to prevent swelling
65
Q

why is the WP lower in the blood in the venule end?

A

most water has left capillary into tissue and proteins have remained behind as cannot pass through capillary fenestrations nad basement membrane

66
Q

what 2 things ensure unidirectional flow in lymph vessel?

A
  • blind-ended
  • valves
67
Q

5 steps of tissue fluid drainage in lymph

A
  1. pressure in tissue opens flaps
  2. tissue fluid flows into vessel
  3. pressure increases inside, closing flaps
  4. lymph flows through valves to be transported
  5. reenters blood at subclavian or thoracic ducts
