16
Q

What is the maximum amount of air one can exchange in any given ventilatory cycle?

A

Vital capacity

17
Q

What sets the basic drive of ventilation?

A

Dorsal respiratory group (DRG)

18
Q

What normally limits the duration of inspiration?

A

pneumotaxic center

19
Q

What is the substance that reduces surface tension forces in the lung, making lung expansion easier?

A

surfactant

20
Q

About 20% of metabolized oxygen ends up as what?

A

metabolic water

21
Q

What is responsible for the majority of the ventilatory response to an elevation of arterial PCO2?

A

(PCO2 is greater than 40 mm Hg)

central chemosensitive area (in brain stem)

22
Q

What are responsive to hypoxia and hypercapnia?

A

peripheral chemosensors

23
Q

What is a gas that out competes (250x) oxygen fro bindings sites on hemoglobin and can decrease oxygen carrying capacity of the blood significantly?

A

carbon monoxide

24
Q

What is the major stimulator of chemoreceptors when inside these cells?

A

the hydrogen ions

it is not the CO2 when it is w/in the cell

25
What provides lubrication b/w the pleura?
pleural fluid
26
What is associated with interstitial fluid filling the alveoli?
pulmonary edema (can result in alveolar filling)
27
What is the reason that the left ventricle pumps 1% more than the right ventricle?
some bronchial artery blood drains into the pulmonary veins | this is normal, and is a very short circuit
