Module 20 pt 2 Flashcards
This is a law stating total pressure exerted by a mixture of gas is the sum of the pressures exerted by each gas
Daltons Law
When a mixture of gas is in contact with a liquid, each gas will dissolve in the liquid in proportion to its partial pressure
Henrys Law
____ is 20 times more soluble in water than
CO2
O2
What is external respiration influenced by?
Partial pressure gradients
Ventilation-perfusion coupling
Structure of Respiratory membrane
What is the partial pressure gradient like in the lungs for O2 compared to CO2
O2 is more steep ( 40 to 104)
CO2 is not as much (45 to 40)
How does CO2 diffuse with O2?
In equal amounts
This is the amount of gas reaching the alveoli
Ventilation
This is the blood flow reaching the alveoli
Perfusion
Ventilation and perfusion must be _______ for efficient gas exchange
matched
Changes in ___ causes changes in the diameters of the arterioles
PO2
Changes in __ causes changes in the diameters of the bronchioles
PCO2
This is a term known for when the walls of adjacent alveoli break down
Emphysema
Internal respiration partial pressures are _____ to those of external partial pressure
reversed
When levels raise there is ____
When levels are too lose there is ____
Dilation
Constriction
What are the two ways oxygen is carried in the blood?
Carried by hemoglobin
Dissolved in plasma
