Respiratory System: Control of Respiration

QuestionAnswer
NEURAL GENERATION OF RHYTHMIC BREATHING BREATHING
Breathing depends on -------- --------- muscle excitation by the nerves to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles Cyclical inspiratory
Do we control respiratory system? Yes
Where in the brainstem is breathing controlled? Meddulla
What kind of neurons do the cyclical inspiration? Medullary neurons
What cuts off inspiration? Pulmonary streth receptors
PULMONARY STRETCH RECEPTORS STRETCH RECEPTORS
What kind of muscle are they? Smooth muscle
What are they activated by? Lung inflation
Are they afferent or efferent neurons? What is their official name? Afferent neurons called "Hering-Breuer inflation reflex"
What is the hering breuer reflex? Get signal from airway-->brainstem-->expire for a long time
Does it have a short or high threshold? High treshhold
CONTROL OF VENTIALLATION CONTROL OF VENTILLATION
What can control minute ventilation? Peripheral chemoreceptors and central chemoreceptors
Where are peripheral chemoreceptors located? In carotid and aortic bodies
What are they sensitive to? They are sensitive to changes in arterial PO2, H, and PCO2
Which is most important? P CO2
At a high altitude, how do we breathe? What does it do to our molecular levels? We breath deeper and faster to increase oxygen
What do we do with high levels of H and C? GET RID OF THEM
CENTRAL CHEMORECEPTORS CENTRAL CHEMORECEPTORS
Where are they? Medulla
What do they respond to? changes in H in brain ECF
How fast of a response? Pretty fast
What does an increase in H indicate? Increase in C
CONTROL BY PO PO CONTROL
Is it very important? No, C is more important to control by
Which chemoreceptors control by O? Peripheral chemoreceptors
What is the controlled based on? Decrease in arterial O
How large does the decrease have to be? Very large
So what happens when your inspired, alveolar, and arterial O go down? Increase firing of peripheral chemoreceptors, to increase ventilation muscle contraction, to increase O
CONTROL BY C CONTROL BY C
What chemoreceptors control it? Both peripheral and central
What is the trigger? When C increases just a TAD bit
What actually is the stimulus? When hydrogen ion concetration in arterial blood and brain ECF increases
CONTROL BY [H+] CONTROL BY [H+]
When is ventillation increased? Increase of arterial [h+]
What happens to minute ventiallation as plasma hydrogen increases? Increase ventillation
So how do we get [H+] back to normal? Lower P CO2
What does the high acidity in excercise make us do? Makes us breath
What does the metabolic alkalosis make us do? Shallow breathing,
INHIBITION OF VENTILATION INHIBITION OF VENTILATION
What 3 things can inhibit ventilation? Increase arterial PO, decrease arterial PCO, and decrease [H+]
VENTILATION DURING EXCERCISE STRENOUS EXCERCISE
What happens to [H+] concentration during strenous excercise when O2 is being consumed? It increases
What about CO2? It decreases; you're hyperventilating
PO2? Remains constant
What kind of a change in ventilation does receptors in joints and muscles yield? Small increase in ventilation
Increased body temp? Fever-->increased metabolism
What happens to ventilation wrt metabolism during strenous excercise? Ventillation increases more than metablism
Which increases/decreases more? Rest-->excercise or excercise-->recovery? Excercise-->recovery is a higher drop
HYPOXIA HYPOXIA
What is hypoxia? Lack of oxygen in tissue
What are the four categories of hypoxia? Anemic, ischemic, hypoxic, and histotoxic
Hypoxic due to? What about anemic? Ishemic, histotoxic? altitude; blood loss; slow blod travel; can't take up
What happens to PO as altitude increases? PO2 Decreases
How can O2 supply be maintained with acclimitazation? 1. peripheral chemoreceptors lead to ventillation and urination (loss of sodium), make RBC, make DPG, Increase cappillary density, mitochondria
