Section 5 Lecture 7 Flashcards
% of blood made of red blood cell:
45%
How many grams of Hb per 100 ml of blood?
15 grams % (15% of blood volume is hemoglobin
1 gm of hemoglobin maximally binds to __ ml of O2
1.34
% Aterial O2 content in blood:
20%
How is hemoglobin bound?
chemically
Signal that we have low hemoglobin and response:
hypoxia, response is to produce erythropeoitin to increase red blood cell generation
2 forms of blood doping:
inject EPO or lower the inspired O2 pressure (less barometric pressure)
Percent of O2 dissolved in plamsa:
less than 2%
from where is oxygen for cellular respiration attained?
bound to hemoglobin or free in plasma
True or False? Oxygen and carbon monoxide bind different sites of the hemoglobin.
F. same site
Fetal hemoglobin structure
2 alpha and 2 gamma chains
True or False? Fetal hemoglobin binds O2 more tightly than adult.
T
True or False? CO2 flux is reversible at the lung
T
What does CO2 form in the red blood cell?
carboxyhemoglobin, then combines with water to produce H2Co3, combines with hydrgen to form bicarbonate
How is bicarbonate removed from the red blood cell?
chloride exchange/shift
What does CO2 combine with in the plasma
water and carbonic acid
What enzyme increases the rate of formation of carbonic acid
carbonic anhydrase
% of CO2 transport as HCO3 in plasma:
70%
venous temperature
38 (not 37)
pH in the tissues vs the plasma
7.38 vs. 7.40
Effects of shunt on O2 and CO2 exchange:
CO2 is normal, O2 exchange is inhibited
Hemoglobin is saturated at __ volumes percent
20
What percent of oxygen is dissolved vs bound?
2% vs 98%
PO2 of 40 in the veins is what percent saturated?
15% satrurated
PO2 of 100 in the arteries is what percent saturated?
100% saturated
difference between CaO2 and CvO2 in volumes percent:
5 volumes percent
How are hemoglobin levels and the oxygen dissociation curve effected in anemia?
less hemoglobin, oxygen dissociation curve does not change
True or False? Every hemoglobin is saturated in anemic patients
T
True or False? less oxygen is delivered to peripheral tissues in patients with anemia.
T
Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin __ X more than oxygen.
200 X more than oxygen
How to treat carbon monoxide poisoning:
hyperbaric chamber
If we breathe 100% oxygen we can increases the amount of oxygen up to what %?
5 or 6%, but does not correct the oxygen delivery. If binding sites are taken by carbon monoxide this doesn’t matter
