Q

during increased breathing (exercise)

A

tidal volume increases (depth)

inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume get smaller

residual volume remains the same

vital capacity remains the same

24
Q

hyperpnea

A

increased ventilation in response to metabolic needs of exercise

changes : pre-exercising (resting)/ anticipatory increase/ exercise rapid increase/ exercise gradual increase/ exercise steady state/ recovery rapid decrease/ recovery slow decrease/ post-exercising (resting)

25
Q

changes of hyperpnea driven by different factors at different stages

A

-neural changes

-physical changes

-chemical changes

26
Q

minute ventilation (V e)

A

total amount of air flowing into or out of lungs per unit time (ml/min or L/min)

V e = V t x f

f: respiratory rate or breathing frequency (BPM)

Vt : tidal volume (mL/breath)

Vd: dead space (mL/breath)

Dot over equation : its a rate, volume unit per time

27
Q

Vd Dead Space (ml/breath)

A

Where Gas exchange does not take place

anatomical : respiratory vs conducting

alvolar : dead alveoli

first tidal volume (ml) x frequency (BPM)

physiological dead space : alveolar + anatomical

28
Q

effective ventilation alveolar/minute (%)

A

minute ventilation/ alveolar ventilation

29
Q

daltons law

A

total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is sum of pressure exerted independently by each gas in a mixture

-overall pressure is the sum total of all the partial pressures

30
Q

partial pressure of a gas

A

Pg= Patm X Fg

partial pressure of gas = atmospheric pressure X fraction of the gas in mixture

31
Q

hypobaric

A

decreased pressure environment

-decresed ambient PO2

32
Q

Hypoxemia

A

low oxygen in blood

-(blood is emminent)

33
Q

hypoxia

A

low oxygen in tissues

34
Q

adjustments for decreased pressure environment (hypobaric)

A

hyperventilation -→ trying to bring in more oxygen

plasma volume decreased, increased HCT (hematocrit) = where there is erythrocytes; carry large amounts of oxygen

35
Q

long term acclimatization

A

erythropoetin from kidneys stimulates eryhrocyte production

  • increased HCT, HB in blood
  • induced polycythemia
36
Q

external respiration

A

total alveolar-capillary surface area very large and very thin walled (tissue paper)

  • rapid exchange of large quantities of oxygen and carbon dioxide by diffusion
  • pressure gradient between alveoli and lung capillaries

-02 moving from alveoli to lung capillaries because of pressure gradient

-C02 moving from lung capillaries to alveoli because of pressure gradient

-must look at individual gases in air for movement

37
Q

factors affecting diffusion

A
  1. partial pressure gradient of gas

2. Fick’s law of diffusion → rate of diffusion of gas depends on :

-surface area

-thickness of membrane gas is diffusing through

-diffusion coefficient of particular gas

diffusion coefficient : gas in particular fluid; bigger coefficient means more/quicker diffusion

38
Q

ventilation-perfusing matching

A

ventilation : air flow into alveoli

perfusion : blood flow into pulmonary capillaries

ventilation-perfusion inequality will lead to trying to compensate

-never completely balanced

if bad air flow into area : vasoconstriction to lead blood flow away from area

If bad blood flow to area: bronchonostriction (constriction of bronchioles) diverting air flow from that area

39
Q

internal respiration

A

same as external respiration but pressure gradients are reversed

-Between tissue capillaries and tissue cells

40
Q

factors effecting diffusion in internal respiration

A

same as external respiration

-part pressure gradient of the gas

-ficks law of diffusion →rate of diffusion of a gas depends on

-surface area

-thickness of membrane gas is diffusing through

-diffusion coefficient of particular gas

41
Q

arteriovenous oxygen difference (A-V O2 difference)

A
  • difference between oxygen going into capillary bed and oxygen coming out of capillary bed
  • difference is the amount delivered to working tissue
  • more oxygen taken out in capillary bed with exercise to supply working muscles so bigger a-v 02 difference
42
Q

henrys law

A
  • at constant temperature amount of gas that is dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid
  • cannot dissolve enough oxygen ad carbon dioxide to meet gas transport needs
  • amount dissolved also dependant on solubility (CO2 20x more soluble than O2)
43
Q

gas transport vs gas exchange

A

need loading for gas transport (LGT)

need unloading for gas exchange

  • only dissolved gas can participate in gas exchange
  • do this by manipulating affinity
44
Q

affinity

A

tightness of binding

  • low affinity= unloading
  • high affinity = loading
45
Q

oxygen hemoglobin binding

A
  • each Hb can maximally bind four O2 molecules
  • saturation : how much oxygen is binded
  • lets go of oxygen :dissolved oxygen

hemoglobin : 4 heme proteins and iron in middle (hemes bind to oxygens)

46
Q

oxygen transport

A
  1. 5% dissolves in plasma
  2. 5% oxygen binds to hb and makes oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) INSIDE ERYTHROCYTE
47
Q

oxygen - hemoglobin dissociation curve

A
  • increased partial pressure of oxygen causes more to bind to Hb (loading)
  • decreasing partial pressure of oxygen causes less to bind to HB (unloading)
  • not a linear relationship

plateau : loading portion (safety margin) little decrease in saturation if P02 decreases

steep portion : unloading portion. small change in oxygen can give large decrease in saturation

we want high Hb saturation for gas transport (loading)

we want low Hb saturation for gas exchange (unloading)

48
Q

systemic venous value

A

can change with exercise. trained person will have lower value. can release more oxygen for hemoglobin

49
Q

in exercise what happens in regards to arteriovenous oxygen difference

A

bigger arteriovenous oxygen difference which means more oxygen gets taken by capillaries to get brought to working muscles and tissues (unloading)

50
Q

effects on oxygen saturation

A

Right shift : caused by high acidity, high CO2, or high temperature

-decreased affinity (unloading)

Left Shift : caused by low acidity, low CO2 or low temperature

-increased affinity (loading)

51
Q

exercise increased acidity (lactic acid) creates what

A

that means an increased in acid which causes a right shift of oxygen saturation. this means that more oxygen is available for muscles because there is more unloading; oxygen made available for muscles

52
Q

carbon dioxide transport

A

7% CO2 dissolved in plasma

23% carbon dioxide binds to Hb and forms carbaminoHemoglobin (HbCO2) inside erythrocyte

70%** carbon dioxide converted to **bicarbonate (HCO3) inside erythrocyte

  • Bicarbonate then moves out of cell and dissolved in plasma
  • chloride moves into erythrocyte when bicarbonate moves out into plasma to keep negative charge balanced (chloride shift)
53
Q

Carbon monoxide affinity, and relationship with Oxygen in terms of binding to Hb

A

Carbon monoxide reduces the amount of O2 that combines with hemoglobin in pulmonary capillaries by competing for these binding sites

-CO changes shape of Hb an results in tighter binding of O2 (left shift)

When CO binds it forms carboxyhemoglobin

54
Q

Bohr effect

A

How Co2 and H+ affect the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen

-high Co2 and H+ concentrations cause decrease in HB affinity for oxygen (unloading)

-vice versa

in active muscles, carbon dioxide and H+ levels are high

oxygentated blood that flows past is affected by these conditions and the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is decreased, allowing oxygen to be unloaded and transferred to the working tissues

Hb is now available to bind carbon dioxide and H+ for gas transport

55
Q

Haldare effect

A

describes how oxygen affects the affinity of hemoglobin for carbon dioxide

  • high oxygen concentrations cause decreases in HB affinity for carbon dioxide (unloading)
  • low oxygen concentration causes increases in HB affinity for carbon dioxide (loading)
  • in pulmonary capilaries, when hemoglobin loaded with carbon dioxide is exposed to high oxygen levels coming from alveoli, hemoglobins affinity for carbon dioxide decreases.

CO2 lets go of hemoglobin and can move into alveoli by external respiration

Hb is now available to bind oxygen for gas transport

56
Q

both

A

processes work together

cause shape change in hemoglobin to exert their full effect
