Q

relationship between tubular flow rate and potassium secretion

A

tubular flow increases K+ secretion bbq continuously flushing it out of fluid (low [K] causes more to secrete)

it also activated high conductance BK channels, which rapidly increase K levels

high Na+ decrease aldosterone secretion and increases tubular flow rate

causing no net change

Q

ANP source, function, effect

A

atrial cells, heart
stop reabsorption of water, Na
decreases Bp

135
Q

PTH source, function, effect

A

parathyroid gland
reabsorb Ca2+ from bone
increase calcium in blood

136
Q

shunted blood

A

Whenever PO2 is below normal, there is inadequate ventilation to provide the O 2 needed to fully oxygenate the blood flowing through the alveolar capillaries. Therefore, a certain fraction of the venous blood passing through the pulmonary capillaries does not become oxygenated. This fraction is called shunted blood

137
Q

oxygen utilization coefficient

A

percentage of blood that gives up its oxygen

138
Q

oxygen hemoglobin dissociato curve

A

used to determine oxygen uptake in the lungs and delivery to the tissues

in venous blood, 75%
in arterial blood, 97%

139
Q

when PO2 is high

A

oxygen binds with gemoglobin

140
Q

when PO2 is low

A

oxygen is released form hemoglobin

141
Q

what causes Hb curve to shift to right

A
  1. increase hydrogen ions
  2. increased CO2
  3. increased temperature
  4. increased BPG

normal BPG keeps curve slightly shifted to right at all time

142
Q

increase in PCO2 causes

A

decrease in pH, forcing O2 from hemoglobin

143
Q

Bohr effect and increase in blood [CO2] ions

A

shifts curve to right

enhances release of O2 from tissue and oxygenation in lungs

144
Q

Bohr effect and decrease in blood [CO2] ions

A

shifts O2 Hb curve to left

145
Q

haladiane effect

A

binding of O2 with Hb displaces CO2 from blood

binding of O2 causes Hb to become a stronger acid (more acidic is less likely to bind with CO2

increased acidic of Hb causes it to release H+ ions, shifting to right

146
Q

3 ways CO2 is transported in blood

A
  1. dissolved in blood (7%)
  2. transported as carbonic acid (carbonic anhydrase)
  3. carbamino Hb
147
Q

compare haldane and bohr

A

essentially opposite.

binding of O2 with Hb displaces O2

148
Q

what respiratory center est. ramp signal?

A

dorsal respiratory group

sets basic rhythm for respiration

149
Q

ramp signal

A

nervous signal transmitted to inspiratory muscles during normal respiration

150
Q

method for controlling respiration rate

A

ceasing the ramp… earlier better

Prg stops
Drg starts

151
Q

PRG CENTER– pneumonotaxic center

A

SWITCHES OFF INSPIRATORY RAMP

without additional input from vagus nerves (instead replies on depth of breathing)

152
Q

apneusis

A

failure to turn off inspiration

153
Q

ventral respiratory group

A

inactive during quite respiration

don’t do normal
spill over signals from DRG start, increases the respiratory drive.

154
Q

botzinger complex

A

associated with coordinating VRG output, rostral part

155
Q

intermediate VRG

A

associated with dilation of upper airway during inspiration

156
Q

where are APN and PNE centers found?

157
Q

Pre-BotC

A

complex that acts on rostral PRG

generates timing of respiratory rhythm

inspiratory neurons

158
Q

Mechanoreceptors

slow adapting pulmonary stretch receptors

A

located with airways of lungs

slow adapting

terminate inspiration and prolong expiration

travel in vagus nerve

controlling respiratorio (tidal volume) in infants and adults during exercise

159
Q

mechanoreceptors

rapidly adapting

A

located within airways

sensitive to irrigation, foreign bodies, stretch

travel vagus to brian

elicit cough

override normal control mechanism

160
Q

J receptors

A

sensory endings in alveolar wall in juxtaposition to pulmonary capillaries

sensitive to pulmonary edema
signals travel via vagus nerve

elicits cough, tachypnea

override normal
