16
Q

decreased intrapleural pressure =

A

inspiration

17
Q

partial pressure in alveoli is controlled by

A
  1. rate of absorption of oxygen into the blood

2. rate of entry of new oxygen into the lungs

18
Q

what turns off inspiratory center before overexpansion of lungs

A

pneumotaxic center

19
Q

this causes stretch receptors in the bronchii preventing over-stretching the lungs

A

herring - breuer relfex

20
Q

prevents turn off of inspiratory center

A

apneustic center

21
Q

boh reffect

A

co2 enters blood, causes o2 to dissociate from hemoglobin

22
Q

haldane effect

A

co2 combines with hemoglobin = more bicarbonate ions

23
Q

co2 in blood as

A

HCO3 (70%)

24
Q

co2 as carbaminohemoglobin

A

20%

25
Q

co2 dissolved in blood

A

7-8%

26
Q

what does affinity of hemoglobin for o2 do

A

shift curve to left

27
Q

increase co2 and h

A

shifts curve to right

28
Q

where does the ramp signal for inspiration come from

A

dorsal respiratory center

29
Q

TLC =

A

IRV + TV + ERV + RV

30
Q

VC =

A

IRV + TV + ERV

A

IRV + TV

33
