Q 
During exercise, which of the following statements is true?
A) IRV and ERV are increased
B) IRV is increased; ERV is decreased
C) IRV is decreased; ERV is increased
D) IRV and ERV are decreased
A

D, IRV and ERV are both decreased, as tidal breathing gets bigger in both directions, so will push into both reserve volumes

Q

How does the helium dilution method work

A

Patient has no helium in lungs to begin, and there is a container with a known concentration of helium within in, and the volume of the container is known. So when the patient breaths in the helium, it will go to equilibrium with the lungs, and can use the equation C1 * V1 = C2*(V1+V2) and solve for V2

Q

How does body plethysmograph work?

A

A person is sitting in a tank, which is sealed tight, and you know the initial pressure and volume within the tank. Patient is breathing against a fixed tube, so there is no air flow going in but the chest can still expand. Can measure the pressure at the mouth, as that will match pressure in the alveoli, then use the equation P1V1=P2V2, where V1 is initial lung volume (VL), V2 is VL + delta VL, P1 is the initial pressure, and P2 is P-delta P, so we can measure everything except for VL, which we can solve for

Q

The pressure volume loop shown in class has 5 steps. Explain them.

A

1) Starting at residual volume, pleural pressure is at 0 mmHg, and volume is low (so starting at 0 on x-axis and very low on y-axis)
2) Pleural pressure starts to decrease, volume will slowly start to increase but its a small change, as there is low compliance, until reaching the critical opening pressure (PCo)
3) Once past PCo, slope becomes more linear, as there is high compliance, meaning a larger increase in volume of the lungs, until approaching TLC
4) After hitting TLC, the lungs begin to deflate (exhale), so pleural pressure is becoming less negative/more positive, and the lungs begin to return to residual volume
5) However, there is a gap between the two lines (inhale and exhale) because there is hysteresis, which is non-recoverable work required to inflate the lungs

Q

What happens to the pressure-volume loop if you remove the air water interface (saline inflation)?

A

There is no critical opening pressure, its easy to put the fluid in, no energy needed to pop stuff open. Small changes in pressure will lead to large changes in volume, and this is the elastic recoil of the tissue. There is very little delta and hysteresis, nearly all the energy to expand the lungs is recovered during deflation. Shows that surface tension is the primary driver of the hysteresis

Q

What happens to the pressure volume loops if you wash out the surfactant but re-establish the air water interface?

A

Will have max surface tension, gives a major shift in the PCO, takes more and more energy and pressure to pop open the airways. The slope also changes, showing that surfactant was helping open the airways earlier AND was helping compliance. There is a lower TLC, cannot open the lungs to where we were before, and there is massiv ehysteresis

Q

Most of the conducting zone will be (turbulent, transitional, or laminar)

A

Turbulent and transitional

29
Q

Most of the lungs that are experiencing air flow will be (turbulent, transitional, or laminar)

A

Laminar

30
Q

Is airway resistance calculated in a series or in parallel?

A

Parallel, which explains why resistance drops as we move down, as this spreads out total resistance across the system

31
Q

Airway cross-sectional area and air velocity (or airway resistance) are (inversely or proportional)

A

Inversely proportional, so if one increases, the other will decrease

32
Q

As the individual airweays are getting smaller, the aggregate cross sectional area is _______, and what will this do to resistance

A

The cross sectional area is increasing dramatically, which will reduce resistance

33
Q

What will increase radius and decrease airway resistance

A

Increasing lung volume, smooth muscle relaxation, and sympathetic stimulation

34
Q

What will decrease radius and increase airway resistance

A

Mucus, edema, smooth muscle contraction, and vagal stimulation

35
Q

What will increasing lung volume do to the radius and airway resistance?

A

It will increase the radius and decrease airway resistance

36
Q

What will smooth muscle relaxation to do the radius and the airway resistance?

A

It will increase the radius and decrease airway resistance

37
Q

What will sympathetic stimulation do to the radius and the airway resistance?

A

It will increase the radius and decrease airway resistance

38
Q

What will mucus and edema do to the radius and airway resistance?

A

It will decrease radius and increase airway resistance

39
Q

What will smooth muscle contraction to do radius and airway resistance?

A

It will decrease radius and increase airway resistance

40
Q

What will vagal stimulation do to the radius and airway resistance?

A

It will decrease radius and increase airway resistance

41
Q

What measurement is reduced in obstructive pulmonary disease?

A

FEV1

42
Q

What measurement is reduced in restrictive pulmonary diseases?

A

FVC

43
Q

FEV1 is what?

A

Forced expiratory volume in 1 second

44
Q

What is the normal value for FEV1/FVC

A

Above 75%

45
Q

A

Peak expiratory flow rate

46
Q

PIFR is what

A

Peak inspiratory flow rate

47
Q

Usual value of PEFR and PIFR

A

About 10 liters per second

48
Q

At higher lung volumes, is expiratory flow rates effort dependent or effort independnet?

A

Effort dependnet

49
Q

At lower lung volumes, is expiratory flow rates effort dependent or independent?

A

Independent

50
Q

What is going on with the pressures in dynamic airway compression?

A

Pressure outside the airways is greater than pressure inside the airways

51
Q

The bronchiolar wall tends to collapse in response to changes in intrapleural or airway pressure, why?

A

Because it doesn’t have cartilage, so there is little support

52
Q

What is friction loss

A

As a result of airflow resistance, pressure that is generated in the alveoli drops along the airways during expiration

53
Q

What is the equal pressure point (EPP)?

A

When airway pressure has dropped to a level where it equals intrapleural pressure during force expiration

54
Q

At the EPP, airways without cartilage will ______

A

Collapse

55
Q

In healthy lungs, the EPP will be reached in cartilaginous airways as a result of

A

Sufficient alveolar driving pressure and only a gradual drop in pressure due to minimal airway resistance

56
Q

What is the equal pressure point

A

Airflow becomes independent of total driving pressure
Airflow resistance is greater during exhalation than inhalation
In a normal lung, equal pressure point in airways with cartilage
Moves downward (towards alveoli) with smaller lung volume

57
Q

At low lung volumes, will increased effort help with expiratory flow?

A

No, at low volumes, increased effort will not help because increased effort is increased pressure on the airways, resulting in airway compression

58
Q

Restrictive pulmonary diseases

A

Anything that makes the lungs difficult to inflate, could reduce FRC, vital capacity, and TLC
Associated with a decrease in compliance, so a decrease in surfactant, an increase in fibrosis, or pleural effusion (increased fluid in pleural space)

59
Q

Obstructive pulmonary disease
