Q

external respiration influenced by

A

38
Q

how do you get a faster diffusion rate

A

bigger pressure difference, higher solubility

39
Q

CO2 concentration in deoxygenated blood vs CO2 concentration in alveolus

A

46mmhg in bloo, 40mmhg in alveolus so diffuse into alveolus

40
Q

O2 concentration in deoxygenated blood vs O2 concentration in alveolus

A

100mmhg in aleolus and 40 mmhg in blood so diffuse rapidly into blood

41
Q

O2 concentration in oxygenated blood vs O2 concentration in cell

A

100mmhg in blood and 5mmhg in cell so diffuse into cell and then into mito

42
Q

CO2 concentration in oxygenated blood vs CO2 concentration in cell

A

40mmhg in blood and more than 40mmhg in cell so diffuse into blood`

43
Q

Venous blood Po2 =

A

40 mm Hg

44
Q

Alveolar Po2 =

A

= 104 mm Hg

45
Q

O2 partial pressures reach equilibrium of — in how much time

A

of 104 mm Hg in ~0.25 seconds, (due to big difference between pressures) about 1/3 the time a red blood cell is in a pulmonary capillary

46
Q

Venous blood Pco2 =-

A

45 mm Hg

47
Q

Alveolar Pco2 =

A

40 mm Hg

48
Q

given the partial pressure differences in blood and alveoli of o2 and co2, how does CO2 diffuses in equal amounts with oxygen

A

CO2 is 20 times more soluble in plasma than oxygen

49
Q

Ventilation

A

flow of gas reaching the alveoli (AVR

50
Q

Perfusion

A

blood flow reaching the alveoli

51
Q

Ventilation-Perfusion Coupling

A

Ventilation and perfusion must be matched (coupled) for efficient gas exchange

52
Q

Ventilation-Perfusion Coupling Changes that occur to match physiological needs

A

Where alveolar CO2 is high, bronchioles dilate (increase ventilation)
Where alveolar CO2 is low, bronchioles constrict (decrease ventilation)

53
Q

Internal Respiration partial pressures vs external respiration partial pressures

A

Partial pressures and diffusion gradients are reversed compared to external respiration
Po2 in tissue is always lower than in systemic arterial blood
Pco2 is 5 mm Hg higher in tissues

54
Q

O2% dissolved in plasma

A

1.5%

55
Q

O2% on hemoglobin

A

98.5% loosely bound to each Fe of hemoglobin (Hb) in RBCs

56
Q

CO2% in plasma

A

7 to 10% dissolved in plasma

57
Q

CO2% in hemoglobin

A

20% bound to globin of hemoglobin (carbaminohemoglobin

58
Q

CO2% in bicarbonate

A

70% transported as bicarbonate ions (HCO3–) in plasma

59
Q

Rate of loading and unloading of O2 in hemoglobin is regulated by

A

PO2
temperature
Ph
PCO2

60
Q

which three of the factors affecting rate of unloading o2 influence 3D shape of hemoglobin

A

Temperature
Blood pH
Pco2

61
Q

how much O2 is unloaded during one systemic circulation

A

20–25% of bound O2

62
Q

If O2 levels in tissues drop

A

More oxygen dissociates from hemoglobin and is used by cells
Respiratory rate or cardiac output need not increase instantly

63
Q

Haldane Effect

A

The amount of CO2 transported is affected by the Po2

The less O2 hemoglobin saturation, the more CO2 can be carried in the blood (because co2 with water makes acid)

64
Q

how can Changes in respiratory rate alter blood pH

A

slow shallow breathing allows CO2 to accumulate in the blood, causing pH to drop
Changes in ventilation can be used to adjust pH when it is disturbed by metabolic factors

65
Q

brain parts that control respiration

A

neurons in the medulla and pons

66
Q

Genesis of respiratory system

A

Ventral respiration group controls normal breathing (eupnea)
Dorsal respiration group responds to changes in stretch of lungs and Po2 in blood
Signal sent down the phrenic (diaphragm) and intercostal nerves

67
Q

How does Co2 affect breathing rate

A

Increase CO2 in blood changes PH, and the medulla in brain signals increase breathing rate

68
Q

Hyperventilation

A

Increased rate of breathing that exceeds body’s need to remove CO2, too much CO2 released

69
Q

Hypercapnia

A

Increased Co2 levels

70
Q

Decrease in CO2 causes

A

Blood vessels to restrict

71
Q

Hypocapnia

A

72
Q

Apnea

A
