Q

Inhalation - Lung pressure ____ vs atmopsheric
Mm involved in normal:

Exhalation - Lung pressure ____ vs atmopsheric

A

Decreased pressure below atmos, Diaphragm pulls down in contraction, EXT intercostal elevates rib

Lung pressure > atmos, diaphragm relax (bounce back to dome shape), EXT intercostal relax + rib drop to force air out

Q

Other factor pulmonary ventilation (3)

A

1) Surface tension of alveolar (surfactant), prevent alveolar collapse in exhalation
2) Lung compliance (how easy lung+ chest expand), elasticity + surface tension. Note scar tissue cannot expand/non-functional.
3) Airway resistance (larger diameter), regulated by bronchioles + Smooth Mm tone (ANS)

17
Q

Breathing patterns (6)

Eupnea:
Apnea:

Dyspnea:
Tachypnea

Costal:
Diaphragmatic

A

Easy, resting ~12-20 breath/min

Transient cessation of respiration

shortness of breath

(abn. rapid)

Shallow
Deep

18
Q

Tidal volume
Minute ventilation

Tidal Vol - Respiratory zone % : Conducting zone aka

Air left in lungs after deep breathing

A

Volume of one breath
MV = Total air inhaled+Exhaled/min. (# breath/min * Vt)

70% : 30% (dead space - nose, pharynx, terminal bronchioles)

Residual volume RV

19
Q

Anatomic dead space

Alveolar ventil rate

A

Conducting zone does not undergo respir xchg

Air per Min. reaching respir. zone

20
Q

Factors affecting affinity of Hb (hemoglobin) for O2

A

1: Partial pressure of O2: Higher Po2, More O2

2: Blood acitiy (low pH = more O2 to c. High pH = less O2

3 Temp. High Temp = ^| O2 released from Hb,
Low Temp = v| O2 from Hb

21
Q

CO2 Transport 3 main forms

A

1) Dissolved CO2 exhaled from lungs
2) Carbamino compound - combo w/ amino acid + Prot in blood (Hb)
3) Bicarbonate ions: Greatest 70% in plasma as bicarbonate ion - HCO3

22
Q

Breathing Mm contract from ____ from _____

A

Nerve impulses in Respiratory centre [Medulla oblongata + pons] of brain

23
Q

Medullary resp. centre component:

A

DRG - Dorsal Respiratory group (Diaphragm via Phrenic n. + EXT intercostal via Intercostal N.)

DRG inactivates, Mm relax 3sec. passive recoil

VRG (Ventral resp group), Inspiratory/Expiratory Neurons - primary active in exercise+stress

Botzinger complex: Pacemaker cell set basic breathing rhythm

PRG - Potine respiratory group (Modify basic rhythm)

24
Q

Respiratory centre in Medulla and Pons regulated by (2):

A

Brain cortex (conscious ctrl)

Chemoreceptors (Monitor O2 and CO2, input to centre)

25
Q

Chemoreceptors (2) types

A

Central chemoreceptor - around Medulla oblongata

Peripheral chemoreceptor (2)

Aortic bodies - in Arch wall
Cartoid - Common cartoid wall

26
Q

Conditions for Chemoreceptors

A

Hypercapnia = hypercarbia (increase in pCO2, H+). Response: hyperventilation, inhale more O2, exhale more CO2

Hypoxia

27
Q

Influences on Breathing:

Exercise: As cardiac output rises, Blood flow to lungs aka _____, _____

A

Limbic system

Simple cuboidal, simple squamous, No cilia or goblet cell

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar (think plegm) - Yes cilia, yes goblet cell for majority until near end of conduct zone

Nonkeratinized stratified squamous above vocal folds (No cilia, no goblet cell)

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar, yes cilia, yes goblet cell. (Think pure respiratory structures will have ciliated columnar, + mucuous = goblet + cilia for dust)
