Respiratory System: Control of Respiration

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
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  
🗑
