Respiratory - Pt 2 Flashcards
Pulmonary Ventilation is composed of 2 phases: [] and []. What muscles are used in each?
Pulmonary Ventilation is composed of 2 phases: Inspiration and Expiration. What muscles are used in each?
- Inspiration - diaphragm and external intercostal muscles.
- Expiration - Abdominal muscles and internal intercostal muscles.
[] is when the physical property lags behind the changes that are causing it. (think of a thermostat)
Hysteresis
The lungs have a tendency to collapse because of their [] [].
Elastic recoil
Because the lungs and chest wall pull away from each other on opposite sides of the intrpleural space, the [] [] is less than barometric pressure; that is, the intrapleural space is a relative [].
Intrapleural Pressure
vacuum
T/F
We see hysteresis in expiration not inspiration.
FALSE
We see hysteresis in inspiration, not expiration.
T/F
If intrapleural pressure = intrapulmonary pressure ==> pneumothorax?
TRUE
What are the 4 pressure in the thoracic cavity?
Atmospheric Pressure
Intrapulmonary Pressure/Alveolar Pressure
Intrapleural Pressure
Transpulmonary Pressure
Atmospheric pressure:
- Pressure of the [] - 1 [] or [] mmHg
- Pressure of the atmosphere - 1 ATM or 760 mmHg
Intrapulmonary Pressure/Alveolar Pressure:
- Pressure in the []
- Rises and falls with []
- Pressure in the aveoli
- Rises and falls with breathing
Intrapleural Pressure:
- Pressure in the [] cavity
- This pressure changes with breathing but is always about []-[] mmHg less than [] pressure
- Always [] realtive to pulmonary pressure
- Pressure in the pleural cavity
- This pressure changes with breathing but is always about 4-5 mmHg less than pulmonary pressure
- Always negative realtive to pulmonary pressure
T/F
Intrapleural pressure cannot become positive relative to atmospheric pressure.
FALSE
Intrapleural pressure can become positive relative to atmospheric pressure during a forced expiration.
T/F
Intrapleural pressure gets more negative from base to apex?
TRUE
Think of the monkeys hanging from a barrel. The top monkey (or the apex) will be stretched/dealing with the most weight.
The intrapleural pressure is the most negative when the lungs are [].
inflated.
Transpulmonary Pressure:
- Pressure difference between [] and [].
- Always [] under physiologic conditions.
- Pressure difference between pulmonary pressure and intrapleural pressure.
- Always positive under physiologic conditions.
The pleural cavity pressure becomes more [] as chest wall expands during inspiration.
negative
