Q

What do joint and limb receptors sense

A

Increased ventilation when movement is sensed

-sometimes you start breathing faster before you actually exercise

23
Q

What does high pulmonary BP cause?

A

Shallow, rapid breathing, as dictated by the J receptors

24
Q

Which of the following receptors would be activated during congestive heart failure

A

J receptors

25
Q

What doe sexercise do to O2 consumption

A

Increases it

26
Q

What does exercise do to CO2 production

A

Increases it

27
Q

What does exercise do to ventilation

A

Increases it

28
Q

What does increased PCO2 levels do as far as pH

A

Changed into an buffered into bicarbonate whihc decreased pH in CSF, sets off receptors

29
Q

Arterial blood in exercise

A

-no change in PaO2 (because of ventilation)
-no change in PaCO2 (because of ventilation)
-no change, or decrease in pH
(Helps increase ventilation if necessary)

30
Q

Venous blood during exercise

A

Increase PVCO2

Helps drive to breathe

31
Q

Cardiac output during exercise

A

Increased

32
Q

Pulmonary blood flow during exercise

A

Increased

33
Q

V/Q ratio in lungs during exercise

A

More even, usually it is 0.8, but it is closer to 1 during exercise

34
Q

Physiological dead space during exercise

A

Decreased

35
Q

Pressure in capillaries during exercise

A

Increased

36
Q

During exercise, Where in the lungs is there an increase of blood flow to that normally doesn’t have any

A

Apex of lungs

37
Q

What happens to heart rate during exercise

A

Increases

38
Q

What happens to afterload during exercise?

A

Increased

DOUBLE CHECK

39
Q

What happens to preload during exercise?

A

Decreased

DOUBLE CHECK

40
Q

What happens to the preload on the right side of the heart during exercise?

A

I don’t know, check

41
Q

What happens to preload on left side of the heart during exercise?

A

I don’t know, check

42
Q

What happens to the O2 hemoglobin curve during exercise

A

Shifts to the right

  • increased P50
  • decreased affinity for O2
43
Q

What is high altitude similar to

A

Hypoxia

44
Q

What happens to alveolar PO2 in high altitude

A

Decreased

45
Q

What happens to the A-a gradient in high altitude?

A

46
Q

What happens to ventilation during high altitude change

A

Increases

47
Q

What happens to PaO2 during high altitude

A

Decreased

What happens to the right ventricle after being at high altitude for long time

A

Hypertrophy

52
Q

What happens to BPG at high altitude

A

Increased

53
Q

What kind of shift on the hemoglobin curve do you get at high altitude
