Q

issues that effect gas diffusion at respiratory membrane:

A

The differences in partial pressure across the respiratory membrane are substantial. The distances involved in gas exchange are small. The gases are lipid soluble. The molecular weight of the gases is small. The total surface area is large. Blood flow and airflow are coordinated. (e.g. Blood flow is the greatest around alveoli with the highest PO2, where O2 uptake can proceed with maximum efficiency).

Q

•Lung perfusion: blood flow to the alveoli.

67
Q

•Chemical Factors Influencing

A

oMajor stimulus for respiration

oHypoventilation

oHyperventilation

68
Q

Chemical Factors Influencing
Breathing Rate and Depth: PO2

A

oNot a major one until PO2 drops to 60 mm Hg

69
Q

Chemoreceptor Response to Increase in PCO2:

A
  • Increased arterial PCO2 →
  • Increased PCO2 in CSF and
  • stimulation of peripheral arterial (aortic body and carotid body) and central chemo-receptors (CO2 is permeable to blood brain barrier) in brain stem →
  • Increased respiratory rate →
  • Increased elimination of CO2 at alveoli →
  • Decreased arterial PCO2 →
  • Restored homeostasis
70
Q

Hyperventilation:

A
  • An increase in the rate and depth of breathing that exceeds the body’s need to remove CO2.
  • Low CO2 in the blood causes cerebral vasoconstriction, reduces brain perfusion and produces cerebral ischemia.
  • A swimmer hyperventilates voluntarily before jumping in the pool so that they can hold their breath longer during swim meet. Is it safe?
71
Q

Voluntary Hyperventilation

A
  • PO2 rarely drops below 60 mm Hg during regular breath holding because decreasing PO2 (inspiration)usually indicates CO2 accumulation (expiration) under physiological conditions.
  • The rising of PCO2 is enough to make breathing unavoidable (chemo-receptor).
  • Strenuous hyperventilation can lower PCO2 so much that a lag period occurs before it rebounds enough to stimulate respiration again.
  • This lag may allow PO2 to fall well below 50 mm Hg, which causes the swimmer to black out.
72
Q

Arterial pH:

A

•Changes in arterial pH can modify respiratory rate and rhythm even when CO2 and O2 levels are normal.

oE.g. Metabolic acidosis

•Elevated H+ stimulates peripheral, but not central, chemo-receptors, because H+ is not permeable to the blood brain barrier, but CO2 is.

73
Q

Pulmonary Circuit:

A
  • Pulmonary circuit is low-pressure, but high-volume circulation.
  • All the blood passes through the lungs about once each minute.
  • Lung capillary endothelium is an ideal location for enzymes act on materials in the blood.
