Oxygenation Flashcards
(PP) Function of surfactant
Prevent alveolar collapse
Alveolar surface tension and ventilation
(PP) Cells that produce surfactant
Alveolar type II
(PP) The nerve that innervates the diaphragm
Vagus nerve
Which takes longer, inspiration or expiration?
Expiration
Symptoms of lung collapse
Dyspnea
Cough
Fever
Leukocytosis
Describe 4 steps of Gas Transport
- Ventilation of lungs
- Diffusion of oxygen from alveoli into the capillary blood
- Perfusion of systemic capillaries with oxygenated blood
- Diffusion of oxygen from systemic capillaries into the cells
Sputum of someone with pulmonary edema
Pink and frothy
Pulmonary edema causes high pressure in which lung
Left lung
J receptors
Cause rapid and shallow breathing when initiated
Why does RBC increase when at higher elevation?
Less O2
(PP) Shift to the left
Increases O2 to hemoglobin
(PP) Shift to the right
Increases O2 to the tissues
(PP) Factors causing shift to the left
Increased pH
Decreased Temperature
Decreased PCO2
(PP) Factors causing shift to the right
Decreased pH
Increased Temperature
Increased PCO2
Increased 2,3 DPG
Kussmaul respirations
Deep, regular, & increased rate
