Q

what makes up the respiratory zone?

35
Q

what makes up the conducting zone?

A

everything besides alveoli

36
Q

Conducting zone:

A

low-resistance airflow, defense against foreign material / infection, warm the air

37
Q

what 2 things make up the trachea?

A

cilia and goblet cell

38
Q

Goblet cell produce what?

39
Q

what does smoking kill?

A

cilia (when they grow back ex smokers develop a cough

40
Q

alveolar cells are responsible for what?

A

gas exchange

41
Q

Type I alveolar cells are also called what?

A

pneumocytes

42
Q

what do type II alveolar cells produce?

A

surfactant

43
Q

why is the bronchus covered in smooth muscle?

A

to direct air flow

44
Q

3 types of relexes

A

Foreign body reaction
Voluntary control of breathing
J receptors

45
Q

Foreign body reaction

A

coughing and sneezing

46
Q

Voluntary control of breathing

A

holding your breath or rapid breathing

47
Q

J receptors

A
  • in lung tissue, innervated by the vague nerve
  • stimulated by fluid buildup in lungs interstitial space (embolism, pulmonary edema, exercising extremely hard)
  • results in: dyspnea, rapid breathing, dry cough
48
Q

Pleural sacs

A
  • there are 2 of them, so if one is damaged the other one can still function
  • Thoraic wall - parietal pleura - intrapleural fluid - visceral pleura - lung
49
Q

intrapleural fluid

A

lubrication fluid between pleura layers

50
Q

Intrapleural space has relative _____ pressure to help keep lungs from collapsing in

A

negative

-chest wall is always pulling out, lungs are elastic and always pulling in = these forces create a negative pressure

51
Q

Pleurisy

A

painful irritation / friction of the inter pleural space

52
Q

what is pleurisy caused by:

A

inflammation (infection, chemical exposure) and build up of an irritant (bleeding infection)

53
Q

Tx of pleurisy

A

drain fluid or decrease the inflammation, then treat source

54
Q

Ventilation

A

getting oxygen into the alveoli: breathing

55
Q

Ventilation problems

A

respiratory muscle paralysis; high altitude; foreign body obstruction; laryngospasm; alveolar collapse (atelectasis); asthma; airway damage (smoking)

56
Q

Exchange

A

getting O2 into the blood and CO2 out of the blood

57
Q

Exchange problems:

A

Pulmonary edema; pulmonary fibrosis; carbon monoxide poisoning; anemia; pulmonary embolus (oxygen comes in but theres no blood arriving to pick it up); asthma
-everything rolls downhill

58
Q

Is O2/CO2 ratio even or not?

A

not even, CO2 is lower

59
Q

PO2 pressure in the air

60
Q

PCO2 pressure in the air

61
Q

PO2 pressure in alveoli

62
Q

PCO2 pressure in alveoli

63
Q

PO2 in pulmonary veins, left heart, systemic veins

64
Q

PCO2 in pulmonary veins, left heart, systemic veins

65
Q

PO2 in systemic veins, right heart, pulmonary arteries

66
Q

PCO2 in systemic veins, right heart, pulmonary arteries

67
Q

Transport

A

get oxygen to the tissue

68
Q

transport problem:

A

left heart failure and many other pump failures (taxis are loaded but not moved out; arterial thrombosis; arterial bleeding; sickle cell disease

69
Q

Exchange

A

get O2 from blood into tissue cells and CO2 from tissue cells into blood

70
Q

exchange problems

A

peripheral edema; abnormal oxygen dissociation (acidosis or alkalosis)

71
Q

Utilization

A

oxygen consumption in the tissues

72
Q

problems with utilization

A

venous bleeding; sickle cell disease; shock; venous thrombosis

73
Q

Transport of CO2

A

CO2 must dissolve in liquid to diffuse through plasma membranes, it also diffuses across 2 cell membranes to get to the plasma

  • some CO2 travels within the plasma
  • Some CO2 travels enters the RBC and travels bound to hemoglobin
  • Some CO2 travels within RBC but free from hemoglobin
74
Q

Bicarbonate equilibrium

A

CO2+H2O <=> H2CO3 <=> H+ + HCO3-

75
Q

how much CO2 travels via bicarbonate equilibrium

76
Q

why is bicarbonate so important

A

its a buffer

enzymes work best at pH 7.44

77
Q

CO2 is controlled by what

78
Q

bicarbonate is controlled by what

79
Q

what 2 things buffer the blood stream

A
  • deoxyhemoglobin

- bicarbonate buffer system

80
Q

what controls respiration

A

PONS and the medulla

81
Q

what are the 2 chemo-receptors

A

peripheral and central

82
Q

peripheral chemo-receptors

A
  • sensitive to levels of O2, H+ and high CO2

- you respond to high levels of CO2 first

83
Q

central chemo-receptors

A
  • only sensitive to pH

- these are the receptors that are shut down by alcohol and drugs by suppressing the medullas respiratory pacemaker
