Q

Pulmonary Stretch receptors

A

Mechanoreceptors in smooth muscle of airways (generally insensitive to chemicals). Discharge with increased inflation. Mediate Hering-Breuer reflex, inhibit inspiration. Regulate transition between inspiration and expiration

Q

Rapidly adapting receptors (RAR)

A

Mechanoreceptors in airway epithelium and smooth muscle that discharge in response to both inflation and deflation. Also sensitive to chemical irritants. Involved in cough, most likely stimulate inspiration. Report on rate of volume change between inspiration and expiration

Q

Vagal lung C-fibers

A

Unmyelinated slow conducting nerve fibers in airway epithelium and interstitial spaces. Chemosensitive. Will produce response to interstitial space thickening (i.e. edema). Report on the status of the epithelium in the airway

Q

Dominant influence of vagal afferent feedback

A

PSR feedback to switch Inspiration to Expiration

22
Q

Major peripheral neural feedback system

A

vagal and muscle afferents

23
Q

Respiratory muscle afferent modulation method of action and 3 types

A 
afferents in respiratory muscles discharge according to respiratory muscle contraction to alter I and E durations. Have direct connections to I and E neurons and spinal neurons.
3 types:
1) muscle spindles
2) tendon organs
3) joint receptors
24
Q

What do muscle spindles report on?

A

muscle length

25
Q

what do tendon organs report on?

A

muscle tension

26
Q

what do joint receptors report on?

A

rib joint motion

27
Q

Where are O2 chemoreceptors located?

A

Carotid bodies in carotid sinus and aortic bodies in ascending aorta. Monitor arterial PO2

28
Q

How are chemoreceptors for oxygen stimulated?

A

decrease in PO2. O2 content and BP have no effect

29
Q

How to functionally denervate O2 receptors?

A

inhale 100% O2

30
Q

T or F: there are no central sensors for monitoring O2

A

T

31
Q

hypoxic response

A

Response to decreased PO2. More dependent on PCO2 than PO2, because ventilatory response is very weak until PO2 falls below 60mmHg. If PCO2 is increased slightly however, results in large increase in ventilation by increasing respiratory frequency (?)

32
Q

increased dead space –> ventilatory drive ?

A

increases

33
Q

decreased alveolar PO2 –> arterial PO2?

A

decreases

34
Q

Location of CO2 chemoreceptors

A

Peripheral (same as O2 in the carotid sinus and aorta), and central inside the blood brain barrier

35
Q

What do CO2 chemoreceptors ACTUALLY recognize?

A

concentration of H+

36
Q

T or F: peripheral CO2 receptors are the same as peripheral O2 receptors

A

T. Receptors have dual sensitivity

37
Q

Main method of CO2 feedback

A

central feedback

38
Q

ventilatory response to CO2

A

increased CO2 = increased ventilation in mostly linear relationship. steepness of slope = lvl of sensitivity. (ex-anesthesia decreases sensitivity and decreases slope)

39
Q

Effect of CO2 diffusing across BBB?

A

Rapid influence on medullary chemoreceptors. Delayed effect on medullary chemoreceptors once it dissociates into H+. Medullary chemoreceptors act on oscillator to alter ventilation to restore normal CO2 levels

40
Q

Types of higher brain center modulation of medullary oscillator

A

sensorimotor cortex, cerebellum, limbic system

41
Q

sensorimotor cortex influence on resp

A

effects timing, resp. sensation

42
Q

cerebellum influence on resp.

A

changes the rate and depth of respiration

43
Q

limbic system effect on resp.

A

changes both rate and depth of respiration

44
Q

Increases in carotid baroreceptor –> respiration?

A

inhibits resp.

45
Q

Pain –> resp.?

A

stimulates resp.

46
Q

Hyperthermia –> resp.

A

causes hyperpnea

47
Q

hypothermia –> VE?

A

increases

48
Q

exercise –> ventilation?

A

increases

49
Q

activation of skeletal muscle proprioceptors –> ventilation?

A

increases

50
Q

How does breathing pattern change if caudal pons is “stacked back on”?

A

changes from phasic to apneustic pattern (long inspiration, short expirations) because of addition of apneustic center

51
Q

What happens to breathing pattern if rostral pons is “stacked back on”?

A

Changes from apneustic breathing to close to regular breathing due to addition of pneumotaxic center

52
Q

Most important nerve for peripheral sensory feedback

A

vagus nerve

53
Q

Hering-Breuer Reflex

A

hyperinflation of lung induces apnea
