A

– Air passageways connecting trachea with alveoli

– Cleans, warms, and moistens incoming air

78

House respiratory passages smaller than the main bronci

79
Q

A

– Main sites of gas exchange
– Reduces surface tension
– Helps prevent lung collapse

80
Q

What is the role of macrophages in the lower respiratory tract?

A

81
Q

what is the anatomcal difference between the left and right bronchus

A

Left Bronchus is more horizontal

Right Bronchus is larger in diameter and more vertical

82
Q

What is the function of the respiratory zone

A

actual site of gas exchange

83
Q

What is the function of the conducting zone

A
  • provide rigid conduits for air to reach gas exchange sites

* cleanse, humidify, and warm incoming air.

84
Q

Know the blood supply and venous drainage of the lungs.

A

Pulmonary arteries deliver systemic venous blood
• Branch profusely, along with bronchi
• Feed into the pulmonary capillary networks
Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from respiratory zones to the heart

85
Q

What are the muscles of respiration?

A

Diaphragm

External and interna intercostal muscles

86
Q

Know voice production

A

Speech: intermittent release of expired air as the glottis opens and closes
– Length and size of glottis → ∆ pitch
– tension of cords → faster vibration → narrow slit → ↑ higher pitch
– Wide glottis → deep tone
– Males, true cords become longer and thicker
→ vibrate more slowly
• Loudness – forcing air out

87
Q

What secretes surfactant?

A

Respiratory membrane

88
Q

What cell in the respiratory zone produces surfactant?

A

Type II cells

89
Q

What is type II cells role in decreasing surface tension?

A

90
Q

What is Boyle’s law?

A

Pulmonary ventilation

more Volume, less Pressure

less Volume, more Pressure

91
Q

What is intrapulmonary pressure (Ppul)

A

the pressure in the alveoli

92
Q

what is intraplueral pressure (Pip)

A

the pressure in the pleural cavity

93
Q

what is Dalton’s Law

A

reveals how a gas behaves when it is a part of a mixture of gases.
• Total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted by each gas
• The partial pressure of each gas is directly proportional to its percentage in the mixture

94
Q

what is Henry’s Law

A

helps us understand movement of gases into and out of solution.
• When a mixture of gases is in contact with a liquid, each gas will dissolve in the liquid in proportion to its partial pressure
• The amount of gas that will dissolve in a liquid depends upon its solubility
• CO2 is 20 times more soluble in water than O2
• Very little N2 dissolves in water 40 times less soluble than CO2

95
Q

What is the partial pressure of oxygen? How do we arrive at this number using atmospheric pressure?

A

Total pressure of O2 = 20.9%
To find partial pressure: 760(atmospheric pressure) x Total Pressure = Partial Pressure
Therefore: 760 x 20.9 = 158.84 mm Hg (approx 159 mm Hg)

96
Q

what will impair the ability of getting oxygen to the tissues

A

Hypoxia

a. Inadequate O2 delivery to tissues
b. Due to a variety of causes
i. Too few RBCs
ii. Abnormal or too little Hb
iii. Blocked circulation
iv. Metabolic poisons
v. Pulmonary disease
vi. Carbon monoxide (type of gas that competes with O2’s loading on the Hb molecule. Has an affinity to Hb 200 times more than O2 does)

97
Q

Know and understand ventilation/perfusion coupling.

A

Ventilation: amount of gas reaching the alveoli
Perfusion: blood flow reaching the alveoli
Ventilation and perfusion must be matched (coupled) for efficient gas exchange
• Changes in Po2 in the alveoli cause changes in the diameters of the arterioles

98
Q

What do the arterioles do when ventilation is high or low?

A

Where alveolar O2 is high, arterioles dilate

Where alveolar O2 is low, arterioles constrict

99
Q

What is a spirometer?

A

instrument used to measure respiratory volumes and capacities

100
Q

what is a spirometer used for?

A

Spirometry can distinguish between
– Obstructive pulmonary disease—increased airway resistance (e.g., bronchitis) inc TLC, FRV, RV
– Restrictive disorders—reduction in total lung capacity due to structural or functional lung changes (e.g., fibrosis or TB) dec VC, TLC, FRV, RV

101
Q

Know the non-respiratory gas movements.

A

Most result from reflex action
Examples include:
• cough (deep breath, closing glottis and forcing air superiorly from the lung against a closed glottis; glottis opens suddenly and a blast of air rushes forward)
• sneeze ( air released through nose, crying, laughing, hiccups)
• sudden inspiration; sound occurs when inspired air hits vocal folds of closing glottis)
• yawns (very deep inspiration taken with jaws wide open; ventilates all alveoli)

102
Q

Why is carbon monoxide lethal to us?

A

Because it does not unload form Hb. It’s a type of gas that competes with O2’s loading on the Hb molecule. Has an affinity to Hb 200 times more than O2 does
