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
What is convection
Heat transfer in liquids and gasses via direct contact
26
What is radiation
Heat transfer via indirect contact
27
What is evaporation
When liquid turns to gas
28
What is condensation
Gas turns to liquid
29
What are the 8 properties in liquids
Pressure Buoyancy Viscosity Cohesion and Adhesion Surface tension Capillary action Flow and shape
30
What are the 6 properties in gas
Kinetic energy Gas pressure Density Diffusion Partial pressure Henry’s law( gas dissolved in liquids
31
What’s the difference between cohesion and adhesion
-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
Temp scales C-> F F->C
C-> F : F= 30+(C* 2) F->C : C=(F-30)/2
33
What is viscosity
Force opposing fluids flow Thick like honey
34
What is capillary action
Phenomenon when a liquid in a small tube moves upward against gravity. Has surface tension and adhesive
35
What is Gay lussacs law
Pressure and temp
36
Water vapor pressure is at — degrees
37 Celsius
37
What is absolute humidity
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
What is relative humidity
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
Equation for relative humidity
RH= (content AH) / ( saturated capacity) x 100
40
What is boyles law
Pressure and volume
41
What is critical temp
Kinetic activity of molecules is so great that the attractive forces cannot keep them in liquid state
42
Laminar vs turbulent flow
Laminar: fluid moves in straight lines Turbulent: loss of regular streamlines, irregular patterns
43
What is poiseuilles law
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
Bernoullis principle
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
Primary purpose of respiratory
Absorb o2 and excrete co2
46
Internal vs external gas exchange
External: gas exchange between blood and atmosphere Internal: exchange between blood and tissues
47
Major muscles for resp and accessory muscles
Major muscles: intercostals and diaphragm Accessory muscles: pectoralis, sternocleidomastoid and abdominal wall
48
Diaphragm
Hyperinflation: increased lung volume flattens diaphragm Innervated by phrenic nerves from c3-c5
49
What airway participate in gas exchange
Respiratory ( terminal) airways
50
Anatomic dead space
Gas that does not participate in gas exchange 1ml/ lb of ideal body weight
51
Where is surfactant made and stored
Type 2 pneumocytes Decreased surfactant will oppose lung inflation
52
Volume of RBC red blood cells
4-6 mill/ mm3
53
Volume of blood
5-6
54
What is pericardial effusion
Abnormal amount of accumulated fluid between layers
55
What is frank starling law
The more cardiac fiber is stretched, the greater the tension when it contracts
56
What is SVR Systemic vascular resistance
Sum of all opposing forces to blood flow through systemic circulation SVR• (MAP-RAP)/CO
57
What is normal value for MAP (mean aortic pressure)
80-100 mmHg
