25
Q

What are the kinds of forced inhilation and exhilation

A

Chest breathing
Belly breathing

26
Q

What happens during chest breathing? (inhilation)

A

Maximal contraction of the external intercostals pulls ribs superior
Sternocleinomastoid and scalene muscles pull ribs 1 and 2 superior
Erector spinae extends the vertebral column to straighten thoracic curvature

27
Q

What happens during belly breathing? (inhilation)

A

Maximal contraction of the diaphragm to push diaphragm inferior

28
Q

What happens in forced exhilation?

A

Decreased thoracic cavity volume and increasing internal pressure pushing more air out the lungs

29
Q

What happens during chest breathing? (exhilation)

A

Contraction of the internal intercostals and transverse thoracis moves ribs infeiror

30
Q

What happens during belly breathing? (exhilation)

A

Contraction of the rectus abdominis and lateral hypaxial muscles to compress abdomen and push diaphragm superior which flattens the belly

31
Q

What is inspiratory capacity (IC)?

A

Tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume
How much you can inhale

32
Q

What is functional residual capacity (FRC)?

A

Expiratory reserve volume + residual volume
Volume of air that you can exhale

33
Q

What is vital capacity? (VC)

A

Expiratory resserve volume + tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume
All the air you can inhale and exhale

34
Q

What is total lung capacity? (TLC)

A

Vital capacity + residual volume?
How much volume your lungs have in total

35
Q

Describe restrictive diseases

A

Damage to pleura, lungs, or chest
Lungs cannot inflate completely
Decrease VC, RV, FRC, TV, and TLC

36
Q

Describe obstructive diseases

A

Lungs inflate but cannot deflate due to obstruction
Increase RV and FRC because air is in the lungs for longer periods

37
Q

What are pulmonary function tests used for?

A

Test for obstructive or restrictive lung diseases

38
Q

What are the pulmonary function tests?

A

Forced vital capacity (FVC)
Forced expiratory volume (FEV)

39
Q

What is forced vital capacity? (FVC)

A

Maximal inhale then rapid force exhale

40
Q

What is forced expiratory volume? (FEV)

A

A percentage of the FVC that can be exhaled within 1,2,3 seconds

41
Q

How to know if you have an obstructive disease?

A

Low FVC
Low FEV 1
Low FEV1/ FVC < 80%

42
Q

How to know if you have a restrictive disease

A

FVC and FEV1 are lower than normal
but FEV1 /FVC = 80%.

43
Q

Where does gas exchange start?

A

respiratory bronchioles

44
Q

Where is respiratory zone?

A

Lobules

45
Q

Describe respiratory bronchioles

A

First structure of the respiratory zone
Send air to lobule

46
Q

What is true about lobules?

A

Each lobule is an alveolar duct and alveolar sac

47
Q

What do alveolar sacs contain?

A

Several alveoli that are the main surface for gas exchange

48
Q

What are alveoli made of?

A

Single layer of simple squamous cells

49
Q

What are the types of alveolar cells?

A

Type 1
Type 2
Type 3

50
Q

What are type 1 alveolar cells?

A

Thin flattened cells where gas exchange occurs
Makes up the respiratory membrane

51
Q

What are Type 2 alveolar cells?

A

AKA Septal cells
Secrete surfactant which helps prevent the collapse of alveoli

52
Q

What are type 3 alveolar cells?

A

Alveolar macrophages
Immune cells of the lungs

53
Q

What does respiratory membrane consist of?

A

Type 1 alveolar cells
endothelial cells of pulmonary capillaries

54
Q

External respiration

A

Blood has low O2 while air has higher O2 which favors movement of O2 from lungs into blood

Blood has high CO2 while air has lower CO2 which favors movement of CO2 from blood to lungs

55
Q

Internal respiration

A

Tissues have high CO2 while systematic capillaries have low CO2 favoring movement of CO2 from tissues into the blood

Cells use oxygen constantly so there is low O2 in tissue, while systemic capillaries have high O2, favoring the movement O2 from the blood into tissues

56
Q

How is oxygen transported?

A

In blood plasma by hemoglobin

57
Q

What are the ways to transport carbon dioxide?

A

70% In the blood as Bicarbonate (HCO3-)
20% binds to hemoglobin as carbaminohemoglobin

10% dissolved in the blood

58
Q

What determines the ph of blood?

A

Carbon dioxide

59
Q

What does more CO2 in blood mean?

A

Lower blood PH
Less than 7.35
Respiratory Acidosis

60
Q

Homeostatic response to respiratory acidosis

A

Common corotid and aortic arch chemoreceptors send message to medulla oblongata
Increased breathing rate and depth occurs

61
Q

What does less CO2 and more O2 in blood mean?

A

Higher PH
More than 7.45
Respiratory Alkalosis

62
Q

Homestatic response to respiratory alkalosis

A

Common carotid and aortic arch chemoreceptors send message to medulla oblongata
Results in decreased breathing rate and depth
