Resp I Flashcards
conducting zone
anatomic dead space
no exchange
cartilage and goblet cell - to end of bronchi
pseudostratified ciliated columnar cell - to beginning of terminal bronchioles - then cuboidal
respiratory zone
gas exchange
cuboidal in resp bronchioles
simple squamous alveoli
cilia terminated resp bronchioles
type I pneumocte
line alveoli
- squamous
- gas echange
law of laplace
alveoli higher tendency to collapse as get smaller
type II pneumocyte
secrete surfactant
stem cells
cuboidal and clostered
surfactant maturity
lecithin to sphingomyelin ratio greater than 2
club cell
clara cell
noncilited - columnar/cuboidal
secretory granules
secrete component of surfactant
- degrade toxins
- reserve cells
lung lobes
left 3
left 2 and lingula - homolog right middle
right main stem bronchus - foreign object - wider and vertical
aspiration
upright - lower portion right inferior lobe
supine - superior right inferior lobe
diaphragm structures
I ate ten eggs at 12.
IVC - T8
esophagus - T10
aorta - T12
trachea bifurcation
T4
carotid birurcation
C4
aorta bifurcation
L4
lung volume
IRV - TV - ERV with normal breathing
RV - after max expiration
IC - IRV + TV
FRC - RV + ERV - all below tidal volume
VC - IRV + TV + ERV - max inspired and expired
total lung capacity - TLC
TLC = RV + ERV + TV + IRV
physiologic dead space
anatomic + alveolar dead space
apex - largest alveolar dead space
Vd = Vt x (PaCO2 - PECO2) / PaCO2
minute ventilation
volume gas enter lung per minute
