Q 
The placenta secretes different hormones which do what?
Estrogen

Relaxin: relaxes pelvic ligaments and softens cervix at time of delivery
Human Chorionic Somatomammotropin: partial developement of breast, decreases insulin sensitivity, promotes growth of protein tissue

Q

Ventilation deals with the volume of gas delivered by the lungs. Describe
Boyle’s law
Charles’ law

A

Boyle’s: temperature is constant volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to Pressure
Charles’: when presure is constant, volume of fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature

29
Q

Perfusion

A

Amount of blood delivered by heart to lungs

30
Q

Diffusion deals with amount of gas that passes through the air-blood barrier. The air-blood barrier is made of?

A

capillary endothelium, basement membrane, Type I pneumocytes

31
Q

What cells produce surfactant?

A

Type II pneumocytes

32
Q

Where are Type II pneumocytes found?

33
Q

The rate of diffusion is governed by Fick’s law which is?

A

Diffusion through a membrane is inversely proportional to the thickness of a membrane

34
Q

The ventilation/perfusion ratio

A

4L/5L pulmonary blood flow = 0.8

35
Q

Va/Q is highest where? Lowest?

A 
Apex = 3
Base = 0.6
36
Q

Ventilation is highest where? Perfusion is greatest where?

A

Apex-wasted ventilation

Base-wasted perfusion

37
Q

97% of the oxygen in blood is carried by?

A

Hemoglobin

38
Q

Describe the make up of hemoglobin

A

2a and 2B subunites held by covalent bonds

each subunit has a heme groub binding oxgen

39
Q

Describe the O2 dissociation curve

A

Simoid in shape

40
Q

What are the four factors that cause a shift to the right in the O2 dissociation curve?

A

acidosis (decreased pH)
CO2 increae
Temperature increase
2,3-DPG

41
Q

Oxygen-Bohr effect

A

Increased CO2 and decreaed pH cause oxyhemoglobin to release

42
Q

How is CO2 transported in the blood?

A

Bicarbonate, carbaminohemoglobin, dissolved in plasma

43
Q

Chloride shift

A

bicarb produced is transported from RBC into plasma and Cl- is brought into the cell

44
Q

Haldane effect

A

High levels of O2 in lungs displace CO2 from binding on hemoglobin

45
Q

Does hemoglobin have a higher affinity for CO or O2?

46
Q

47
Q

What gas is the major determinant of breathing?

48
Q

What area in the brain stem affect depth of breathing?

A

Dorsal (inspiratory) and ventral (expiratory) centers in medulla

49
Q

What area in the brain stem being stimulated results in shallow and rapid respirations?

A

Pneumotaxic center in upper pons inhibits inspiratory center –> decrease depth of inspiration

50
Q

Which area of the brain stem increases duration of diaphragmatic contraction and decreases the rate of breathing?

A

Apneustic center in the lower pons stimulates inspiratory center

51
Q

Can CO2 freely cross the BBB and enter the CSF?

52
Q

How does the medulla know if there is too much CO2 in the blood?

A

CO2 diffuses into CSF and combines with H2O to form H2CO3 which dissociates to form H+ and HCO3-

61
