Bronchodilation is result of what sympathetic receptors

A

Beta 2 receptors on bronchiole smooth muscle

19
Q

Layers of tunica intima from lumen side out

A

Endothelium, subendothelium, basal lamina, internal elastic lamina

20
Q

What kind of collagen is located within tunica intima basal lamina layer

A

IV

21
Q

How do statins lower intracellular cholesterol levels

A

Mimics structure HMG-CoA and inhibits HMG-CoA reductase

22
Q

What receptors within the lungs (and with what afferent nerve) cause cough

A

Rapidly adapting pulmonary stretch receptor , vagus nerve

23
Q

Whats FRC + IC

A

TLC

24
Q

How do you calculate alveolar minute ventilation

A

(Vt-Ds)*freq

25
Q

Cant control bowels, pH is 7.32, CO2 is 28, HCO3 is 14

Uremic acidosis
Loss of bicarb in feces
Ketoacidosis

A

Loss of bicarb in feces

26
Q

Which of the pressure graphs mimics air flow

A

Alveolar pressure

27
Q

Whats. The intrapleural pressure of a patient who. Has a collapsed lung

A

0

28
Q

Under what circumstances is. There positive intrapleural pressure

A

Coughing

29
Q

Balance between elastic recoil of the. Lungs. And the springing. Out of chest. Wall

A

Functional residual capacity

30
Q

What is FEV1/FVC ratio in asthma

A

Its an obstructive disease- LOW ratio

31
Q

What is FEV1/FVC ratio in emphysema

A

low (because the capacity is so HIGH and we have loss of elasticity of alveoli)

32
Q

What is FEV1/FVC ratio in pulmonary fibrosis

A

Normal or high (restrictive disease- we get less air in thus push less air out)

33
Q

Sequence of development of lung

A

Embryonic, pseudoglandular, canalicular, terminal sac

34
Q

After CO poisoning, hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Is. used why

A

To increase PaO2 at the tissues (problem with CO poisoning is risk of poisoning leading to tissue hypoxia)

35
Q

Why can stomach expand super. Far without bursting

A

High actin fiber density allows greater ability for structural. Rearrangement and decreased passive tension

36
Q

Where do we find fenestrated capillaries

A

Kidney, intestine, exocrine gland

37
Q

Where do we find discontinuous capillaries

A

Hematopoetic organs

38
Q

Where do we find continuous capillaries

A

Muscle, brain, peripheral nerves, exocrine glands

39
Q

Membrane bound granules containing precursor to ANF

A
Atrial granules 
(ANF= atrial natriuretic factor)
40
Q

Small bodies that accumulate in non dividing cells like cardiac muscle. They contain material form residual bodies after lysosome digestion
