Intrapleural
Pressure in the plural cavity around the lungs
Intrapulmonary Pressure
Pressure in the lung
Equal to atmosphere
Normal tidal volume
500 mL
Compliance
Lung stretching
Atelectasis
Partial lung collapse
Lung recoil
Opposite of compliance
Easing of stretching important for expiration
Hemoglobin
97% O2 is bound
Factors affecting O2 transoirt
Cardiac output
Erythrocytes
Hematocrit
Excercise
CO2 transport
Bicarbonate in RBC
CO2 in HGB
Carbonic acid in plasma
Medulla
Responds strongly to CO2 concentration and stimulates increased respiration
Emphysema
Controlled by O2 concentrations
CO2 chronically elevated
High O2 levels may stop breathing
Lungs at birth
Fluid drains
CO2 increases and then first breath
2 weeks to full infation
Factors decreasing adult lung functioning (Decreases)
Decreasing: Tissue elasticity Gas exchange Cough reflex Cilia movement Muscle/Bone strength Immune system Efficiency in eating
Environmental factors of Oxygenation
Temp
Pollution
Altitude
Lifestyle factors of Oxygenation
Exercise
Employment
Foreign substance inhalation
Hyperventilation and Oxygenation
PO2 rises
CO2 falls
Bronchioles dilate
Blood flow increases
