Q

Important cells of the alveolus that produce pulmonary surfactant

A

Type two cells

-key to improve infant death prevention

20
Q

Produced by type two cells that decreases surface tension of water. Without this the alveolus would collapse and get stuck together due to cohesive force of water

A

Pulmonary surfactant

21
Q

Cells in the alveolus that gobbles up stuff

A

Alveolar macrophage 

22
Q

What is the respiratory membrane made up of? (The membrane that gases must diffuse)

A
  1. Type one cells
  2. Fused basement membrane
  3. Capillary endothelial cell
23
Q

What is it called when all things are going in the same direction? (By pressure gradient)

A

Bulk flow (part of external respiration)

24
Q

Internal respiration is also known as…

A

Cellular respiration * anaerobic respiration

25
Q

What are the four parts of external respiration? 

A
  1. Pulmonary ventilation- gases into or out of the lung, the process of *bulk flow
  2. Diffusional exchange between the alveolus and the blood
  3. Gas transport in the blood *bulk flow
  4. Diffusional exchange between blood and tissues (cells) 
26
Q

What forms the thoracic cavity?

Helps expand the chest

A
  • Diaphragm

* chest wall (rib cage, sternum, thoracic vertebrae, connective tissue, intercostal muscles)

27
Q

The interplural space (fluid-filled) is between….

A

Visceral pleura and parietal pleura

28
Q

What makes up the pleural sac?

A

Visceral pleura, interpleural space, parietal pleura

29
Q

Boyles law is an inverse relationship between __________ and __________

A

Volume and pressure

(Think of number of air molecules and size of space) 

30
Q

What does Boyle’s law simplify to? PV=nRT

A

P ≈ n/v

(n= Number of solutes/particles)

31
Q

* know the relationship of the equations, if one variable goes up what happens? Etc.

A
32
Q

What is ohms law for gases and liquids?

A

Q = (P1-P2/R)

Q= flow 
R= resistance (low)

Delta P usually only 1 mmHg

33
Q

R = (n l / r^4)

A 
n= viscosity of air or fluid
l= length 
r= radius

Most important factor is radius! Mucus can change radius

34
Q

For ohms law, what determines the direction of flow?

A

If either P1 or P2 is greater, it will flow in opposite direction

35
Q

What are the necessary pressures to know to understand mechanics of pulmonary ventilation?

A
  • atmospheric pressure (P atm)
  • intra-alveolar pressure (P alv)
  • Intrapleural pressure (P ip)
  •  transpulmonary (AKA transmural) pressure (P TP)
36
Q

What is atmospheric pressure (P atm)?

A

Outside pressure

1 atm = 760 mmHg

As the altitude increases pressure in atmosphere decreases

By convention we refer to (P atm) as 0 mmHg reference

37
Q

What is intra-alveolar pressure (P alv)?

A

Pressure in Alveolus

Normally varies from -1 (goes into the lung) to one (go out of lung) mm Hg for a quiet breathing

38
Q

What is intrapleural pressure (P IP)?

A

Pressure in the intrapleural space

Normally ranges from -4 to -6 mm Hg (increase volume by pulling intrapleural space apart) 

39
Q

What is transpulmonary pressure (P TP)? AKA transmural

A

The distending pressure

(P alv) - (P IP)

My no air is moving in or out of lungs (transition phase) pressure is 0 mm Hg 

40
Q

Pulmonary ventilation adjusts to meet ________

A

Metabolic demand! 

41
Q

Total amount of air that flows into or out of the respiratory system in one minute.
How is it calculated?

A

Minute ventilation

Ve = Vt (title volume ml) x RR (breaths per minute) 

42
Q

The conducting zone of the airway takes up volume. At the end of an expiration the conducting zone is full of old air. We call this volume the…….
On subsequent inspiration, this will be the first gas that enters the alveoli

A

Anatomical dead space volume (Vds) 

43
Q

The amount of fresh air that reaches the alveoli each minute…

Equation?

A

Alveolar ventilation

Va = (Vt x RR) - (Vds x RR)

44
Q

What is average V(ds)? 

A

150 ml

45
Q

Any change in your overall metabolism must be met with an appropriate change in ….

A

Alveolar ventilation, Va
