Q

TV =

A

500 mL

40
Q

total / minute

A

tidal volume x respiratory frequency, 7.5

41
Q

alveolar ventilation

A

subtract 150 mL from tidal volume 500 mL (dead space) and multiply by 15/min, 5.25

42
Q

Obstructive pattern

A

expiration problem, high amount of air still in lungs, FEV1 reduced

43
Q

restrictive pattern

A

lungs cannot full be filled with air, FVC and FEV1 reduced, ratio of both be similar to normal person but volume is reduced

44
Q

helium dilution method

A

measures functional residual capacity

45
Q

static properties

A

mechanical properties when no air is flowing

46
Q

dynamic properties

A

mechanical properties when air volume is changing

47
Q

ventilation

A

exchange of air between alveoli and atmosphere, occurs by change in pressure and moves in bulk flow

48
Q

boyles law

A

for ideal gas at fixed amount and temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional

49
Q

gas travels from

A

high pressure to low pressure, atmosphere to alveoli

50
Q

flow =

A

change in pressure over resistance

51
Q

what kind of pressure acts as a relative volume

A

intra pleural pressure, always negative

52
Q

Inspiration flowchart

A

CNS makes diaphragm and intercostal muscle contract, thorax expands, Pip becomes subatmopsheric, transpulomary pressure goes up, lungs expand, Palv become sub atmospheric, air flows into alveoli

53
Q

expiration

A

intercostals stop contracting, chest wall recoils, Pip goes back, transpulmonary pressure back down, lungs recoil, air compresses, P alv greater than P atm, air flows out

54
Q

friction forces

A

bw alveolar sacs, lung and chest wall, airflow in airway

55
Q

airflow resistance is sensitive to

A

radius changes

56
Q

laminar flow and turbulent flow

A

linear and wonky in larger airways

57
Q

transitional flow

A

in the bronchial branches

58
Q

when is resistance lowest

A

in the small always near the end

59
Q

airways in series

A

resistance is the sum of all different resistance

60
Q

airways in parallel

A

inverse, thats why its minimal

61
Q

small airways are easily occluded by

A

smooth muscle, edema, mucus

62
Q

static compliance

A

elastic properties of lungs when no air is flowing through

63
Q

pulmonary fibrosis

A

lung compliance low, overproduction of collagen

64
Q

emphysema

A

lung compliance is high, floppy lungs less SA, elastin gone,

65
Q

dynamic compliance

A

reflects lung stiffness and airway resistance, less than or equal to static compliance

66
Q

hysteresis

A

difference between inflation and deflation compliance path,

67
Q

elastin vs. collagen

A

elastin is weak and springy while collagen is like twine with high tensile strength

68
Q

with age, does lung compliance increase or decrease

A

Increase as elastin and collagen goes down

69
Q

what does water surface tension do

A

creates inward recoil leading alveoli to collapse, decreases the volume of compressible gas

71
Q

at equilibrium the tendency of increased pressure…

wants to expand balances the needs of surface tension to collapse

77
Q

Fick

A

81
Q

ventilation increases

A

oxygen pressure

82
Q

alveolar capillaries are

collapsible, close off when pressure falls below alveolar pressure diverting blood elsewhere

83
Q

ventilation/perfusion ratio

balance bw ventilation (O adding CO removing) and perfusion (CO adding and O removing)

84
Q

what does a low V/Q ratio mean

A

airway obstruction

85

at the base of the lung

86

CO binding to Hb shifts the curve

A

left

88
Q

89
Q

what makes the O/Hb curve go right

A
