parietal- outer layer

normally 10-25 mL of serous fluid of between

151
Q

Layers of Cardiac Musculature

A

epicardium- outermost layer

myocardium- middle/muscle layer- pumping action

endocardium- thin, innermost layer

152
Q

Simple Diffusion

A
  • passive transport
  • nonpolar lipid soluble substances diffuse directly through phospholipid bilayer (gradient)
153
Q

Facilitated Diffusion

A
  • passive process
  • certain lipophobic molecules (glucose, amino acids, ions) use carrier proteins or channel proteins
  • proteins are selective, saturable, and can be regulated in terms of activity/quantity
154
Q

Is coronary blood flow continuous or noncontinuous?

A

Non-continuous

155
Q

Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)

A

air left after normal expiration

RV+ERV

2300 mL

reservoir for O2

156
Q

Vital Capacity

A

maximal inspiration followed by maximal expiration

(IRV+TV+ERV)

4500 mL

157
Q

Inspiratory Capacity

A

IRV+TV

3500 mL

158
Q

Total Lung Capacity (TLC)

A

volume in lungs after maximal inspiration

IRV+TV+ERV+RV

5800 mL

159
Q

Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasocontriction

A

determined by ALVEOLAR PO2

inhibition of nitric oxide pathway

shunts blood away from hypoxic areas

160
Q

Nitric Oxide effects on pulmonary vasculature

A
  • relaxing factor
  • increases cGMP- smooth muscle relaxation
  • disruption can lead to pulmonary HTN
161
Q

Prostacyclin effects on pulmonary vasculature

A
  • vasodilator
  • activates adenyl cyclase
  • inhibits platelet aggregation
162
Q

Pulmonary vasoconstrictors

A
  • endothelin 1
  • thromboxane 2
