Midterm 1b Flashcards
How many stores are there for O2
1
How many stores are there of CO2
3
What are the 3 stores of CO2
We store more CO2 on Hb
What is trans diaphragmatic pressure (Pdi)
Pdi = Pab - Pes
Abdominal pressure - esophageal pressure
Carbon dioxide 3 stores
HCO3- = 70%
Hb CO2 = 23%
Dissolved =7%
Pneumotaxic area
Switching off inspiration
Decreasing tidal volume
Apneustic area
Switching on or beginning inspiration
Apneustic area
Switching on or beginning inspiration
Respiratory centre or rhythmicity area
2 regions
Dorsal for inspiration
Ventral for expiration
What is eupnic breathing
Normal quiet breathing 12 B/min
What is FRC
Not a defined value
Forces of rib cage to pop open are equal and opposite to that of forces of the lungs to go inward
Happens at the end of full breath so no forces acting on it
Passive volume of lipung and ribcage
What is the duty cycle
TI/TI+TE = TI/TTot
Only 30-40% muscle contraction is occurring of inspiration muscles and is at rest the other 60% as we need relaxation for blood flow to allow oxygen uptake, metabolizing, and remove waste
Central chemoreceptors only respond to
CO2 blood levels
What time scale are chemoreceptors working at
Minute time scale
