16
Q

how do you calculate tidal volume

A

minute ventilation / breathing frequency

17
Q

what does airFLOW depend on

A

-pressure difference between 2 ends of airway
-resistance of airways

18
Q

what does airway resistance depend on

A

diameter

19
Q

what is DALTON’s law

A

the total pressure of a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the pressure that each gas would exert independently

20
Q

partial pressure calculation

A

fraction of % of air X barometric pressure

21
Q

when you inhale, the partial pressure of oxygen is higher in the lungs than bloodstream, therefore you get the movement of oxygen from lungs ->

A

into the bloodstream

22
Q

the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is higher in the bloodstream, therefore you get the movement of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream ->

A

into the lungs

23
Q

what means that you get the movement of gases from the bloodstream -> tissue and from tissue -> bloodstream

A

partial pressure concentration differences

24
Q

at the tissues there is a low partial pressure of o2 therefore you want

A

the formation of deoxyghemoglobin

25
Q

at the lungs there is a high partial pressure of o2 therefore you want

A

the formation of oxyhemoglobin

26
Q

oxygen is transported to the muscle via

A

hemoglobin which shuttles o2 from cell membrane to mitochondria

27
Q

myoglobin has a higher affinity for…

A

oxygen than hemoglobiin

28
Q

whats the oxyhemoglobin equation

A

dexoyhemoglobin + o2 <- -> oxyhemoglobin

29
Q

what does the oxyhemoglobin equation direction depend on

A

-partial pressure of o2
-affinity between haemoglobin and o2

30
Q

at lungs, high PO2 =

A

formation of oxyhemoglobin

31
Q

at lungs, low PO2 =

A

release of o2 to tissues

32
Q

what 3 factors result in offloading of oxygen

A

-increase in temperature
-increase in hydrogen ions
-increase in DPG
