31
Q

Hb (hemoglobin) saturation - primary influence is…

A

PO2

32
Q

Hb-O2 dissociation curve (blood mountain - tv)

A

(1) plateau portion means that blood can carry nearly maximum amounts of O2 at varying PO2 levels (safety margin on low O2 environments)
(2) steep portion means that small decreases in PO2 at active tissues allow more O2 to be released

33
Q

curve shifts to the right in active tissues (active - club parking lot)

A

(more O2 is released at active tissues at a given PO2) - just means that hemogloblin will release more O2 because:

(1) Bohr effect - increased PCO2
(2) increased acid (from increased CO2 and lactic acid)
(3) increased temperature
(4) increased 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG), produced inside RBCs in increasing amounts when HbO2 levels below normal

34
Q

co2 (% dissolved in blood) (sle)

A

10% dissolved in blood

35
Q

(how much CO2 is carried) - 30% as HbCO2 (carbaminohemoglobin) (co2) removal of O2 from HbO2 at tissues….

A

(take off O2, add CO2 - basically)

a. increases the affinity of Hb for CO2 (Haldane effect)

36
Q

(how much CO2 is carried) - 60% as HCO3- (bicarbonate, more soluble than CO2) (ana hall)

A

a. CO2 +H2O↔H2CO3 ↔H+ +HCO3-
b. can occur in plasma, but more efficient in RBCs because of enzyme carbonic anhydrase
HCO3 out of RBC at tissue, in at lungs. (easier to carry in plasma - more space)
c. HCO3–Cl- carrier in RBC membrane

37
Q

medullary respiratory center (controls breathing) (purple heart - kitchen door)

A

pattern probably established by pacemaker activity in rostral ventromedial medulla

38
Q

39
Q

important when demands for ventilation increase (exercise, etc)

a. not active in quiet breathing
b. stimulate motor neurons supplying expiratory muscles

40
Q

pons respiratory centers (controls breathing) (tide pools)

41
Q

A
  1. pulmonary stretch receptors in airways are activated
    at large tidal volumes
    a. inhibit inspiratory neurons
42
Q

influencing factors..(control of breathing) (chemo - couch)

A
  • a. central chemoreceptors in medulla sense increased PCO2 (via increased H+ in CSF) and signal respiratory centers to increase ventilation
    b. peripheral chemoreceptors known as carotid bodies and aortic bodies sense increased H+ and signal to increase ventilation
43
Q

PO2 important only at (control of breathing) (chemo again)

A

very low O2 levels a. peripheral chemoreceptors signal to increase ventilation

44

45
Q

A
may be...

pecs

  1. reflexes like coughing/sneezing
  2. pain
  3. emotion
  4. swallowing
47
Q

matching airflow to blood flow - bronchioles - increased CO2 =
AND
decreased CO2 =

A

if you have more waste (CO2 - you want to get rid of it - dilation). don’t want to remove all CO2, so constrict.
bronchioles
a. increased CO2 ➝ broncho dilation ➝ increased airflow
b. decreased CO2 ➝ broncho constriction ➝ decreased airflow

48
Q

matching airflow to blood flow - arterioles - decreased O2 =

increased O2 =

A

(opposite in systemic artery- if tissue is low in O2, you vasodilate). in pulmonary, decreased O2 means there’s no point in sending blood there, so vasoconstrict.

a. decreased O2 ➝ vasoconstriction ➝ decreased blood flow
b. increased O2 ➝ vasodilation ➝ increased blood flow

49
Q

lung elasticity - alveolar surface tension (alvin - bathtub)

A

water molecules lining alveoli attract each other, creating surface tension
surfactant decreases surface tension (without it lungs would collapse), increases compliance and reduces work needed to breathe. also enhance phagocytosis

50
Q

simultaneous adjustments - airflow > blood flow (go get it)

broncho____
vaso___

A

if there is increased O2, you need to get it, so vasodilation.

if airflow > blood flow, decreased CO2 and increased O2 in alveoli, so broncho constriction and vasodilation.

51
Q

airway resistance - parasympathetic stimulation (don’t need as much air). broncho____

A

broncho constriction ➝ increased resistance ➝ decreased airflow

52
Q

airway resistance - sympathetic stimulation/epinephrine (need more air)

A

broncho dilation ➝ decreased resistance ➝ increased airflow
