31
Q

Another name for Alveolar Hypoxia is

A

Hypoxia-induced vasocontriction

32
Q

Alveolar Hypoxia

A

pulmonary vascular smooth muscle contracts in areas of low PO2

33
Q

In people with
obstructive or restrictive diseases lung disease, the alveolar PO2 is low. So if the
overall PO2 is low, it causes

A

pulmonary vasoconstriction throughout the lung.

34
Q

Vasocontraction throughout the lung can lead to

A

right heart failure

35
Q

Recruitment

A

Opening of previously closed (collapsed) arteries.

36
Q

Distension:

A

Increase in the radius of the existing blood vessels to allow blood flow. By
Poiseuille’s equation, this causes fall of PVR.

37
Q

As lung volume increases during a normal negative-pressure inspiration, the alveoli

A

increase in volume

38
Q

While the alveoli expand, the vessels found between them, mainly pulmonary capillaries are

A

are elongated

39
Q

At high lung volumes, then, the resistance to blood flow offered by the alveolar
vessels

A

increases greatly

40
Q

as lung volumes increase, the resistance to blood flow offered by the extraalveolar vessels

A

decreases

41
Q

at high lung volumes (attained by normal negative-pressure breathing), the
resistance to blood flow offered by the extra-alveolar vessels

A

decreases

42
Q

During mechanical positive-pressure ventilation, alveolar pressure (PA) and intrapleural
pressure are — during inspiration

A

positive

43
Q

both the alveolar and extra-alveolar vessels are — as lung volume increases, and the resistance to blood flow offered by both alveolar and extra-alveolar vessels
— during lung inflation.

A

compressed

increases

44
Q

PVR is elevated in both alveolar and extra-alveolar vessels

A

throughout the

respiratory cycle.

45
Q

Because intrapleural pressure is always positive, a large number of blood
vessels throughout the lung are compressed and provide a high amount of resistance. This greatly

A

increases the workload of the right ventricle to pump blood to the heart.

46
Q

High PVR and a fall in cardiac output may

A

cause right heart failure

2. Permeability Edema

Hydrostatic Edema/ Cardiogenic Edema caused by

A

increases in capillary pressure

no change in capillary filtration or reflection coefficient

Usually with Right Heart Failure

50
Q

Hydrostatic edema is principally related to an increase

A

in capillary pressure

Q

This type of edema is common with left heart failure due to left
ventricular infarction or mitral stenosis

A

Hydrostatic Edema

52
Q
