Respiratory Flashcards
Type 1 pneumocyte is for
Gas exchange
Type 2 pneumocyte is for
Surfactant production
Produces protective GAGs and metabolize air-borne toxins
CLARA cells or
Club cells
Alveolar macrophages
Dust cells
VT(tidal vol) X breaths/min
Minute ventilation
(Tidal volume-physiologic dead space) x breaths/min
Alveolar ventilation
Physiologic dead space
Formula?
Bohr formula
Utilized during exercise
IRV
Insipiratory reserve volume
Amout if air inhaled or exhaled at relaxed state
Tidal volume
500 ml
150 ml - dead space
350 ml - respiratory unit of lung
Maintain oxygenation in between breaths
Residual volume
Marker for lung function
Functional residual capacity
Remaining air in the lungs after maximal exhalation
Residual volume
Maximum volume of air that can be inhaled or exhaled
VC vital capacity or FVC forced vital capacity
Primary drive to breath in COPD patients
Hypoxic drive
Nerve in breathing
Phrenic nerve
Muscles used in forced inspiration
External intercostals, accessory muscles
Ribs move upward and outward
Abdominal contents move upward
V/Q ratio in pneumothorax
Decreased
Trachea shifts toward the affected lung
Spontaneous pneumothorax
Trachea shifts away from the affected lung
Tension pneumothorax
In emphysema lung compliance is?
Increased
Barrel chested
In fibrosis lung compliance is
Decreased
Lung compliance is inversely related to the elastic recoil properties of the lung
Force caused by water molecules at the air-liquid interface that tends to minimize surface area
Surface tension
Cell that produces surfactant
Type 2 pneumocytes
MAIN component of surfactant
Water
Active component of surfactant
Dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC)
Mechanism for DPPC reducing surface tension
Ampiphatic nature (hydrophobic and hydrophilic)
