RANDOM/ PRODIGY TRIVIA/VALLEY BOOK 2 Flashcards
Where is the DORSAL RESPIRATORY GROUP located
Medulla
Ventral Respiratory Group can influence both
Inspiratory and expiratory
Pneumotaxic located in (thinkPP)
PONS
Pneumotaxic center now called
PRG (Pontine Respiratory GROUP)
Peripheral chemoreceptors are found MOSTLY in the
Carotid bodies but also in aortic bodies
Peripheral chemoreceptors responds to
Decreased PaO2 < 60 mmHg
Increased H+ (low pH)
increased PaCO2
Peripheral chemoreceptors ARE MOST RESPONSIVE TO
Decrease in arterial blood O2, when PaO2, falls below 60mmHg
The glossopharyngeal nerve carries afferent information from the
CAROTID BODIES
VAGUS nerve carries afferent information from the
AORITC BODIES and LUNG STRETCH receptors
Central chemoreceptors response to
Hydrogen ions
WHat normally drives Co2
VENTILATON
The pleural membranes couple the
Lungs to the chest wall
What is intrapleural pressure
The pressure in the space between the inside of the chest wall and the lungs
Intrapleural pressure is always
NEGATIVE (subatmospheric) during normal Tidal breathing.
Intrapleural pressure becomes more negative during ______and more less negative during
during inspiration; Expiration
Intrapulmonary pressure is ______during inspiration and______during expiration .
negative, positive
When does INTRAPLEURAL PRESSURE BECOMES POSITIVE
Forced expiration OR during exp effort against a closed glottis, such as the Valsava maneuver.
1 atm = ____mmhg = _____cm H2O
760; 1033 cm H2O
MV is normally____
4Lmin
CO is normally
5L min
The average V/Q for the lungs is
0.8
In the upright position, the dependent lung is at the
Base
In the upright position, the nondependent lung is at the
APEX
When the patient in the lateral decubitus position is anesthesized and paralyzed what occurs
a V/Q mismatch develops, ventilation is the non-dependent lung increases (because the dependent lung is difficult to insufflate) but the distribution of blood flow does not changes, compared to the awake, spontaneously breathing patient.
