Q

Feedforward Control

A

Ventilation adjustment based on exercise (muscle contraction) or motor activity
Apparent particularly at onset of exercise
Doesnt require much, it just does it…but with exercise the feedforward sys stimulates ventilatory response proportional to amount of muscle you have contracting

Q

Medullary Respiratory Center

A

PBC - initiates inspiration
Dorsal Respiratory Group - Stimulates to diaphragm - activates phrenic and allows for continuous inspiration
Ventral Respiratory Group - Stimualtes the intercostal and abdominal muscles - When respiratory drive inc (exercise) VRG is recruited, contributes to inhalation and exhalation, sends powerful signal for forceful exhalation

Q

Pontine Respiratory Group

A

Transmits signal to the inspiratory area to limit inspiration
Controls the switch off point of the inspiratory ramp
Causes the shut off of inspiration - so shuts down DRG

Q

What are the things that we are sensing and what is the effector response

A

Chemoreceptors
Mechanoreceptors

Q

Reflex - Pulmonary Stretch Receptors

A 
Mechanoreceptors
Located in smooth muscle airways
Slowly adapting receptors - they will fire anytime there is a stretch and say when need to shut down inspiration so can stop to exhale and can have another inhale (inhibits the DRG)
Increases resp rate
Prolongs expiration

Q

Reflex - Irritant Receptors

A

Located btw airway epithelial cells in larger airways
Rapidly adapting receptor - firing is proportional to lung volume amount and rate of change
Responds to chemical and mechanical stimuli
Cough reflex. sneezing, bronchoconstriction, rapid breathing

Q

Reflex - Juxtacapillary Receptors (C fiber endings)

A

Unmyelinated and serve protective function
Give feeling of dyspnea
Two groups
1. Pulmonary C fibers - located next to alveoli and are sensitive to mechanical events (edema)
2. Bronchial C fibers - located in airways, responsive to inflammatory events

Q

Reflex - Central Chemoreceptors

A

Located in medulla and are sensitive to H+ in the ISF
H+ can’t cross, so CO2 crosses, binds with water, and then is converted into H+ and HCO3-
HCO3- is buffer in CSF

Q

Reflex - Peripheral Chemoreceptors

A

Located in carotid and aortic bodies

Unlike central, they are sensitive to PaO2

17
Q

More sensitive driver for ventilation

A

CO2
If hold breath, inc response from CO2
People hyperventialte before holding breath so that CO2 gets low so that then you dont get a sens of needing to breathe for longer period of time

18
Q

As you inc arterial PCO2

A

(normally at 40)

As inc, sensed by central chemoreceptors

19
Q

PO2, as you drop ventilation…

A

100, as drop ventilation, not much of anything is happening until at hypoxic level of like 60 or so and this is sensed by the peripheral chemoreceptors

20
Q

Kidneys vs. Lungs

A

Kidneys = Bicarbonate Control
Lungs = pCO2 control
Acid/base balance - kidneys and lungs play role in keeping this balance

21
Q

Acid Base Chemistry - Acid

A

Proton Donor

H+ - molecule that can liberate H+ ions

22
Q

Acid Base Chemistry - Base

A

Proton Acceptor
Molecule that is capable of combining with H+
Bicarbonate –> Carbonic Acid

23
Q

Buffer

A

Minimizes pH changes but doesn’t add or remove acid from the body
Bicarbonate is Ex

24
Q

pH

A

Measure of H+ ion concentration

The more acid = the lower the pH

25
Q

Normal pH

A

7.4

26
Q

Abnormal pH

A

Inhibit ATP production

Interfere with muscle contraction

27
Q

Acid Base balance is maintained by

A

buffers

  • Release H+ ions when pH is high
  • Accept H+ ions when pH is low
28
Q

Tolerable limits for pH
Muscle
Urine

A

6.9 - 7.5
Muscle with normal breathing = 7-7.1
Urine = 4.5-8

29
Q

Acidosis

A

A lot of H+

  1. Resp. Acidosis (Inc pCO2)
  2. Metabolic Acidosis (dec HCO3-)
30
Q

Alkalosis

A
  1. Resp Alkalosis (dec PCO2)

2. Metablic Alkalosis (inc. HCO3-)

31
Q

Respiratory

A

Issue with CO2
Acidosis = high pCO2 (comp with raise bicarb)
Alkalosis = low pCO2 (comp with low bicarb)

32
Q

Metabolic

A

Issue with Bicarbonate
Acidosis = low bicarb (comp with low pCO2)
Alkalosis = high bicarb (comp with raise pCO2)

33
Q

1st line of defense against acid-base status

A

Intra and Extracellular buffers
Immediate
Ex = Buffers

34
Q

2nd line of defense against acid base status

A

respiratory compensations
1 to 15 minutes
Ex: blowing out more CO2

35
Q

3rd line of defense against acid base status

A

kidney compensations
Most powerful
hours to days
kidney can alter how much acid or base we have

36
Q

Buffers

A

Combine with acid or base to buffer
Intracellular = bicarbonate and proteins
Extracellular = bicarbonate and phosphates

37
Q

Bicarbonate Buffering System

A

Can go either way
Eqn to the right = to the tissues, more acid produced and buffer with bicarb
Eqn to the left = go to lungs, excrete CO2 by blowing out

38
Q

Respiratory Compensations

A

2nd line of defense
Inc Ventilation, exhale more CO2
Stimulated by inc H+ (acidic) –> so this reduces H+ and blood pCO2
CO2 exhalation has to match CO2 production though
Need carbonic anahydrase

39
Q

Renal Compensation

A

3rd line of defense
Urinary excretion of H+ (acid) and sometime bicarb
Kidneys dont excrete free H+ - 2/3 of it is excreted with ammonia
Most bicarb filtered in kidneys is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream

40
Q

What is decreased at altitude

A

Decreased O2 diffusion

Decreased pO2 in the air as go to altitude

41
Q

Hyperventialtion shifts the curve…

A

Left - pH going up
Hypoxemia –> paO2 is low –> peripheral chemo –> hyperventilate –> Inc PaO2 and dec PaCO2 –> resp alkalosis –> Inc pH
