Science Flashcards
order of neurovascular bundle in ribs (from top to bottom)
vein
artery
nerve
(VAN)
where are the neurovascular bundles in the ribs
costal groove (underneath rib)
what is the bundle of fibres above each rib called
what is the order of the fibres (from top to bottom)
collateral bundle
nerve
artery
vein
(NAV)
how many holes does the right hilum have
what are they for
5 (bc RIGHT has 5 letters)
2 veins
2 arteries
1 lymphatic vessel
how many holes does the left hilum have
what are they for
4 (bc LEFT has 4 letters)
2 veins
1 artery
1 lymphatic vessel
what does failure of phagocytosis cause
granulomatous disease
type I hypersensitivity definition example
allergy (type I = A = Allergy)
eg food allergy, atopy, eczema
type II hypersensitivity definition and examples (4)
direct cell killing via antibodies (type II = B = via antiBodies)
eg graves, myasthenia graves, gullian barr, good pastures
type III hypersensitivity definition and example (1)
immune complement activation (type III = C = Complement)
eg lupus
type IV hypersensitivity definition and example (4)
delayed type hypersensitivity (type IV = D = Delayed)
eg poison ivy, sarcoidosis, coeliac, TB, T1DM
what is V/Q ratio
ventilation/perfusion ratio
what is V/Q at the top of the lungs
which is better
high
ventilation is better
what is V/Q at the bottom of the lungs
which is better
low
perfusion is better
what shape is a haemoglobin oxygen curve
sigmoidal
what shape is a myoglobin oxygen curve
logarithmic
how is CO2 mainly transported in the blood
bicarbonate
what do parasympathetics do to bronchi
contract them = bronchoconstriction
which receptor and G protein are responsible for bronchoconstriction
M3
Gq
which receptor and G protein are responsible for bronchodilation
B2
Gs
what do sympathetics do to bronchi
relax them = bronchodilation
resp side effect of steroids
hoarse voice
if FEV1/FVC is normal but FEV1 and FVC are both reduced, what kind of resp problem does the patient have
example
restrictive (both lungs and airways are fuckoed)
pneumonia
if FEV1/FVC is reduced bc FEV1 is reduced but FVC is normal, what kind of resp problem does the patient have
example
obstructive (FVC is normal = lungs are fine, problem is getting to the lungs)
asthma
what type of spirometry result does COPD present with
restrictive AND obstructive
FEV1 reduced
FVC reduced
FEV1/FVC reduced
