55
Q

What is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in Alveoli?

56
Q

What is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in oxygenated blood?

57
Q

What is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in tissue>

basement membrane
endothelium of blood capillary

59
Q

What is the oxygen content in 100ml of oxygenated blood?

60
Q

One molecule of haemoglobin can at max carry how many molecules of oxygen?

61
Q

What is the amount of oxygen delivered to tissue by blood in resting condition?

62
Q

What is the amount of oxygen delivered to tissue by blood during streneous exercise?

63
Q

What percentage of oxygen is present in dissolved state in blood?

64
Q

What does shifting of oxygen dissocisation curve to the right signify?

A

Dissociation of haemoglobin (more oxygen available)

65
Q

Increase in diphosphoglyceric acid cause the oxyggen dissocisation curve to

A

Shift to right

66
Q

What is bohr’s effect in context to oxygen dissocisation curve?

A

Reduced affinity of oxyhaemoglobin with dioxygen in response to increase acidity.

67
Q

What is the difference between foetal haemoglobin and maternal haemoglobin?

A

Foetal haemoglobin has higher affinity for dioxygen than maternal blood.

What is hamburger’s effect/chloride shift?

A

Bicarbonate ions move from RBC to plasma and Cl- from plasma into RBC

70
Q

What is Haldane’s effect?

A

Oxygenation of blood in the lungs displaces carbon dioxide from hemoglobin which increases the removal of carbon dioxide.

Pneumotaxic centre

86
Q

Which centre of brain can increase respiratory rate?

A

Pneumotaxic centre

87
Q

What is herring brewer reflex?

A

Protective reflex to prevent lungs from overinflation. Stretch receptor in bronchi are stimulated by overinflation of lungs which stimulate pontine centre to increase respiratory rate.

88

A

Vagus nerve
