23
Q

What is the law of thermodynamics

A

Energy can be changed but never destroyed

24
Q

What is conduction (heat transfer)

A

Heat transfer in solids via direct contact

25
Q

What is convection

A

Heat transfer in liquids and gasses via direct contact

26
Q

What is radiation

A

Heat transfer via indirect contact

27
Q

What is evaporation

A

When liquid turns to gas

28
Q

What is condensation

A

Gas turns to liquid

29
Q

What are the 8 properties in liquids

A

Pressure
Buoyancy
Viscosity
Cohesion and Adhesion
Surface tension
Capillary action
Flow and shape

30
Q

What are the 6 properties in gas

A

Kinetic energy
Gas pressure
Density
Diffusion
Partial pressure
Henry’s law( gas dissolved in liquids

31
Q

What’s the difference between cohesion and adhesion

A

-Adhesion: forces are attractive between two different molecules (water sticking to other substance) CONCAVE SHAPE
- Cohesion: forces are attractive between two similar molecules ( water stick to water)
CONVEX SHAPE

32
Q

Temp scales
C-> F
F->C

A

C-> F : F= 30+(C* 2)
F->C : C=(F-30)/2

33
Q

What is viscosity

A

Force opposing fluids flow
Thick like honey

34
Q

What is capillary action

A

Phenomenon when a liquid in a small tube moves upward against gravity. Has surface tension and adhesive

35
Q

What is Gay lussacs law

A

Pressure and temp

36
Q

Water vapor pressure is at — degrees

A

37 Celsius

37
Q

What is absolute humidity

A

Aka water vapor content. The actual mass of water in a measured volume of air
Water vapor content of 43.8 mg/L
Water vapor pressure of 47 mmHg

38
Q

What is relative humidity

A

The ratio of actual water vapor present in a gas compared with the capacity of that gas to hold the vapor at a given temp

39
Q

Equation for relative humidity

A

RH= (content AH) / ( saturated capacity) x 100

40
Q

What is boyles law

A

Pressure and volume

41
Q

What is critical temp

A

Kinetic activity of molecules is so great that the attractive forces cannot keep them in liquid state

42
Q

Laminar vs turbulent flow

A

Laminar: fluid moves in straight lines
Turbulent: loss of regular streamlines, irregular patterns

43
Q

What is poiseuilles law

A

Pressure needed to drive a fluid through a tube will increase if viscosity, length and flow increases or the radius decrease
P= 8nLV/ pi r 4

44
Q

Bernoullis principle

A

An increase in velocity of fluid results in a decrease in sum of its static pressure and total energy
Flow through narrow passage will increase velocity and decrease pressure

45
Q

Primary purpose of respiratory

A

Absorb o2 and excrete co2

46
Q

Internal vs external gas exchange

A

External: gas exchange between blood and atmosphere
Internal: exchange between blood and tissues

47
Q

Major muscles for resp and accessory muscles

A

Major muscles: intercostals and diaphragm
Accessory muscles: pectoralis, sternocleidomastoid and abdominal wall

48
Q

Diaphragm

A

Hyperinflation: increased lung volume flattens diaphragm
Innervated by phrenic nerves from c3-c5

49
Q

What airway participate in gas exchange

A

Respiratory ( terminal) airways

50
Q

Anatomic dead space

A

Gas that does not participate in gas exchange
1ml/ lb of ideal body weight

51
Q

Where is surfactant made and stored

A

Type 2 pneumocytes
Decreased surfactant will oppose lung inflation

52
Q

Volume of RBC red blood cells

A

4-6 mill/ mm3

53
Q

Volume of blood

A

5-6

54
Q

What is pericardial effusion

A

Abnormal amount of accumulated fluid between layers

55
Q

What is frank starling law

A

The more cardiac fiber is stretched, the greater the tension when it contracts

56
Q

What is SVR
Systemic vascular resistance

A

Sum of all opposing forces to blood flow through systemic circulation
SVR• (MAP-RAP)/CO

57
Q

What is normal value for MAP (mean aortic pressure)

A

80-100 mmHg
