Pulmonary Flashcards
What is the conducting zone comprised of?
Trachea –> terminal bronchioles
What is the respiratory zone composed of?
Respiratory bronchioles –>alveolar sac
What is the anatomical dead space?
Conducting zone + upper airway
What is the physiological dead space?
Alveolar dead space + anatomical dead space
What is the blood supply to the lung tissue?
Bronchial arteries
What causes constriction of the air tubes through the release of ACh. This increases airway resistance and slows volume of airflow?
Parasympathetic innervation
This causes dilation of the air tubes through EPI and NE. Reduces airway resistance and enhances blood flow?
Sympathetic nerve
What does intrapulmonary (Palv or Paul) do during inspiration and expiration?
Intrapulmonary pressure decrease during inspiration and increased during expiration
What kind of intrapleural pressure must be present to prevent lung collapse?
Negate pressure
What is the transpulmonary pressure?
Difference between the Palv and Pip
Amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under resting conditions?
TV (Tidal Volume)
500 ml
Amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal tidal volume inhalation?
IRV (inspiratory reserve volume)
M-3100 f-1900
Amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation?
ERV (Expiratory reserve volume)
M-1200 f-700
Amount of air remaining in the lungs after a forced exhalation?
RV (residual volume)
M-1200 f-1100
Maximum amount of air contained in the lungs after a maximum inspiratory effort?
TLC (Total lung capacity)
TLC = TV + IRV +ERV + RV
M-6000 f-4200
