WEEK 8 Flashcards

1
Q

A. What is the main function of respiration? as well as the additional?
B. What are the four processes that carry this out?

A

A.
main: supply cell with O2 for oxidative metabolism; remove CO2, metabolic waste product

additional: acid-base balance; phonation (speech/producing sounds), site of angiotensin converting enzyme occurs

B.
1. Pulmonary ventilation (aka breathing)

  1. diffusion of respiratory gases (O2 and CO2) between the alveoli and the plasma compartment. (involves internal and external respiration)
  2. Transport of respiratory gases to and from the tissues and cells via the plasma compartment
  3. regulation of ventilation

Q

What are the two zones of the respiratory system? Describe them.

A
  1. Conducting zone:
    - extends from the nose to the bronchioles
    - where the bulk movement of air between the atmosphere and the respiratory zone occurs
  2. respiratory zone
    - where gas exchange occurs
    - extends from the respiratory bronchioles to the terminal alveolar sacs

According to spirometry results. patients with obstructive respiratory diseases have impaired lung _________ . Reduced _____ and ______ . There is Dramatically ________ FEV1/FVC ratio

A

expiration; FVC ; FEV1; reduced

17
Q

Fill in.
In obstructive lung diseases , TLC and _____ are normal or increased. There is decreased _____ compared to FVC . The ratio of FEV1 to FVC is _______ or less than ______ percent

A

FRC ; FEV1; decreased ; 80

18
Q

What are examples of obstructive lung disease?

A
  • Asthma
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)

19
Q

Spirometry Lung volumes and capacities can vary based on what ?

A
  • Biological sex
  • Age
  • Height
  • Disease status
20
Q

what is FVC?

A

Forced vital capacity ; the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled when blowing out as fast as possible

21
Q

What is FEV or FEV1

A

Forced expiratory volume
One of the main results in spirometry
influenced by Height, weight, ethnicity
Forced expiratory volume (FEV1) - The forced volume expired in 1 second

22
Q

FRC

A

Functional residual capacity
- is the volume of gas present in the lung at the end of expiration TV.

FRC=ERV+RV

23
Q

(IC)

A

Inspiratory capacity
is the maximum volume of gas that can be inspired from FRC.

  • IC=TV+IRV
24
Q

(VC)

A

Vital capacity
is the volume change at the mouth between the positions of full inspiration and complete expiration.

  • VC=IRV+TV+ERV
  • VC=IC+ERV
25
Q

(TLC)

A

Total lung capacity
is the volume of gas in the lungs after maximal inspiration, or simple the sum of all volume compartments.

  • TLC=VC+RV
  • TLC=IC+FRC
26
Q

Tidal Volume (TV)

A

the volume of gas inhaled or exhaled during a respiratory cycle. This varies considerably between individuals (~500 mL in adults)

27
Q

Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)

A

the volume you’d inhale if you kept inhaling after a normal tidal inhalation was completed. (~3,000 ml)

28
Q

Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV):

A

the maximum amount of air that can be forcefully expired after normal TV (the most variable volume; ~700-1200 mL)

29
Q

Residual Volume (RV)

A

amount of air remaining in lungs after maximal forceful expiration (~1100-1200 mL)

30
Q

Fill in.
_______ is the most common pulmonary function test performed clinically

A

spirometry

31
Q

Fill in.
spirometry is an ________ and __________ technique. It uses an external ________ . It measures the air inspired and expired. It Records three variables, ______ , _____ and ______ . It is used to determine the Presence or absence of ______ ______ . It Quantifies lung impairment, monitors effects of occupational or ___________ exposures, and Determines the effectiveness of ________________ .
