21
Q

Each gas in a mixture of gases exerts its own pressure as if no other gases
were present

A

Dalton’s Law

“In other words…A gas will move from an area where its partial pressure his higher to where its partial pressure is low. The greater the partial pressure difference between the two areas the more rapid is the movement of gas.”

22
Q

The concentration of gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the solubility and
partial pressure of that gas (at constant temperature).

A

Henry’s Law

“In other words…The amount of oxygen that dissolves into the bloodstream is directly proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen in alveolar air.”

23
Q

What two places does gas exchange occur?

A

lungs
tissues

24
Q

What is picked up and dropped off in the lungs?

A

oxygen picked up
co2 released

25
Q

What is picked up and dropped off in the tissues

A

CO2 picked up
O2 dropped off

26
Q

4 layers of Respiratory Membrane

A
  1. Alveolar wall (with type I & II cells)
  2. Epithelial basement membrane
  3. Capillary basement membrane (usually fused with epithelial BM)
  4. Endothelial cells of the capillary wall
27
Q

the exchange of gases between blood, lungs, and external environment… occurs across the blood air barrier between alveolar air and alveolar capillaries

A

external respiration

28
Q

(breathing) is simply air movement in/out of lungs…. maintains alveolar ventilation

A

Pulmonary Ventilation

29
Q

Blood arriving in pulmonary arteries has lower PO2 and higher PCO2 than in alveolar air. In external respiration what occurs?

A

Increase pO2 (O2 enters blood)
Decrease pCO2 (CO2 leaves blood

30
Q

What occurs during internal respiration

A

O2 dropped off at tissues
CO2 picked up

31
Q

movement of O2 in the body

A

Moves from alveoli into blood. Blood is almost completely saturated with oxygen when it leaves the capillary
 pO2 in blood decreases because of mixing with deoxygenated blood
 Oxygen moves from tissue capillaries into the tissues

32
Q

Movement of Carbon Dioxide in the body

A

Moves from tissues into tissue capillaries
Moves from pulmonary capillaries into the alveoli

33
Q

Rate of gas diffusion and blood flow slow enough that complete equilibrium is reached before the blood reaches the end of the capillaries in healthy people or unhealthy people

A

Healthy people

34
Q

What % thickness of aortic wall is the pulmonary artery?

A

30%

35
Q

Small pulm arterial walls contain a lot or little smooth muscle compared to systemic arteries

A

little

36
Q

what are the exceptions to the following statement?
Pulmonary vasculature accommodates a blood flow that is almost equal to that of all other organ systems in the body.

A

Bronchial blood flow
Coronary artery flow

37
Q

what is created by these two exceptions

A

Small PHYSIOLOGIC SHUNT due to Blood in systemic arteries has PO2 2 mmHg less than blood equilibrated with alveolar air.

38
Q

the resistance that must be overcome in order to push blood through the circulatory system and create flow.

A

VASCULAR RESISTANCE

39
Q

The resistance to blood flow offered by all of the systemic vasculature, excluding the pulmonary vasculature is known as

A

SYSTEMIC VASCULAR RESISTANCE (SVR).

40
Q

What does SVR represent

A

Reflects changes in the arterioles, which can affect emptying of the left ventricle

41
Q

Two patterns observed as the body attempts to maintain homeostasis:

A

Constriction of blood vessels SVR INCREASES  Diminished ventricular compliance  Reduced
stroke volume  Reduced cardiac output (CO)

Dilation of blood vessels  SVR DECREASES  reduces force needed for LV to open AV

42
Q

Conditions that INCREASE SVR include:

A

hypothermia
hypovolemia

43
Q

Conditions that DECREASE SVR include:

A

anemia
cirrhosis

44
Q

PULMONARY VASCULAR RESISTANCE (PVR)
______________ with increased arterial pressure and increased cardiac output (CO)

A

decreases

45
Q

Decrease in PPVR is due to which 2 control mechanisms

A

Capillary recruitment  perfusion of increased number of vessels

Capillary distension  higher volume of blood flow within vessel

46
Q

Conditions that decrease PVR are

A

hypocapnia
strenuous exercise

47
Q

is opening up of previously closed blood vessels resulting in more perfusion and less resistance

A

Capillary recruitment

48
Q

increase in caliber of vessels (they dilate) resulting in increased BF and drop in resistance

A

Capillary distension:

49
Q

in Rsided Heart Failure , If the pressure in the pulmonary vasculature is high due to INCREASED resistance, the right ventricle must work harder to move the blood forward past the pulmonic valve… What can this cause

A

May cause dilation of the right ventricle over time and require additional volume to meet the preload needs of the left ventricle.

50
Q

What conditions cause increase PVR

A

Atelectasis
Hypercapnia
