| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| measuring lung function | compare's subject to normal range; identify diseases |
| compliance | measure of the ease with which the lungs & thorax expand |
| levels of compliance | expressed in LITERS (volume of air) per centimeter of water (pressure) |
| what is normal compliance? | 0.13L/cm H2O- for every 1 cm H2O change in alveolar pressure, the volume changes by 0.13L |
| the greater the compliance | the easier it is for a change in pressure to cause EXPANSION of lungs & thorax |
| Example of greater compliance | emphysema destroys elastic lung tissue; therefore, lungs expand (nothing to bring them back like an overstretched rubber band) and higher than-normal compliance |
| lower-than normal compliance (example) | pulmonary fibrosis - (non-elastic fibers in lung) so that lungs cannot expand |
| list of conditions that DECREASE compliance | pulmonary fibrosis - respiratory distress syndrome and pulmonary edema (both collapse alveoli) airway obstructions such as ashtma, bronchitis and lung cancer & deformities of thoracic wall such as scoliosis & khyphosis (wall cannot expand) |
| pulmonary volumes are measured by | spirometry - process of measruing volumes of air that move in & out of respiratory system |
| tidal volume (TV) | air inspired or expired with each breath |
| inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) | amount of air forcefully inspired (after quiet inspiration) |
| expiratory reserve volume (ERV) | volume of air forcefully expired (after a normal expiration) |
| Residual volume (RV) | volume of air remaining in the lungs after forceful expiration |
| Vital capacity (VC) | greatest extreme in air volume between inspiration & expiration |
| pulmonary capacities | sum of two or more pulmonary volumes |
| Inspiratory capacity | Tidal Volume TV plus Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) - amount of air that a person can inspire maximally (after normal breath) |
| Functional residual cpacity | Expiratory reserve volume plus resideula volume, which is amount of air remaining in the lungs at the end of normal respiration |
| Vital capacity | IRV plus TV plu ERV |
| Total lung capacity | TLC - normal 6000-7500 mL |
| FEV - forced expiratory vital capacity | subject inspires maximally & then exhales maximally into a spirometer - as quickly as possible |
| FEV one | amount of air expired during the first second of the FEV test |
| minute volume | amount of air moved into & out of respiratory system each minute |
| minute volume is calculated | respiratory rate times TV tidal volume - normal about 12-18 breaths per minute |
| Average minute volume calculation | TV usually equals 500 mL times 12 breaths per minute or about 6 L/min |
| does minute ventialtion measure the amount of air available for gas exchange? | no, because some parts of lungs don't actually exchange gas - only the alveoli & alvolar ducts & respiratory bronchioles |
| dead space | where gas exchange does NOT take place-- |
| anatomic dead space | nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bonchi bronchioles & terminal bronchioles |
| physiologic dead space | all of the anatomic dead space PLUS any alveoli where gas exchange is not normal |
| conditions which increase physiologic dead space | lung cancer, strep throat, emplysema (which degenerate alveolar walls) |
| dalton's law of partial pressure | in a mixture of gas, the "partial pressure" of each gas is added to make 100%; add nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide to get total pressure |
| what adds to partial pressure? | water vapor pressure |
| what effect does water vapor pressure have on lungers? | affect pressure of total gases & absorption in body--remember that air is humidified in nasal conchae- |
| partial pressure are affected by | 1. humidified air 2. oxygen diffusing from alveoli into blood along with carbon dioxide diffusing from pulmonary capillaries into alveoli and then - air within alveoli is only partially replaced with atmospheric air during respiration |
| Henry's law (effecting lungs) | concentration of dissolved gas = partial pressure of each gas times the solubility coefficient |
| Henry's law in liquids | gases move from areas of higher to areas of lower partial pressure |
| solubility coefficient | physical characteristic of each gas-whcih cannot be altered |
| henry's law - decompression sickness "the bends" | increased depth means increased pressure; nitrogen bubles come out of blood if pressure changes too quickly |
| hyperbaric oxygenation | increase pressure to force more oxygen into the blood |
| how is diffusion of bases, ventilatio & pulmonary blood flow affected | respiratory membrane thickness, change in surface area, or diffusion coefficient of gas |
| respiratory membran thickness | increased in diseases tuberculosis, pneumonia, advanced silicosis - also plumonary edema casuded by failure of left side of heart causes increase in thicckness of respiratory membrane |
| surface area of lungs | normally 70m2-however, emphysema (destroys alveolar walls) lung cancer or tuberculosis decrease surface area |
| diffusion coeficient of gas | "diffusion coefficient" of oxygen is rate "one" and of carbon dioxide is "20" therefore carbon dioxide diffuses through respiratory membran 20 times more readily than oxgen does |
| when respiratory membrane becomes damaged | capacity to move oxygen into blood is impaired- causes oxygen deprivation |
| relationship between ventilation & pulmonary capillary blood flow | 2 ways to disrupt-ventilation exceeds blood (in heart attack) or ventilation not great enough to oxygenat blood (asthma) |
| anatomic shunt | normal for some deoxygenated blood to mix with oxygenated blood in lungs |
| physologic shunt | blood from anatomic shunt & any blood NOT oxygenated in pulmonary capillaries (for instance if there is a blocked bronciole) |
| gravity affects regional blood flow | pressure at lung base is greater; therefore more blood flows at base |
| regional blood flow increases | with exercise - more blood at apex & greater gas exchange |
| smoking | decreases lung capacity-smokers have less gas exchange |
| carbonic anhydrase | buffering system in blood - carbon dioxide & water are changed w/enzyme into carbonic acid |
| bohr effect | as pH of blood declines, oxygen is released for use in tissues; |
| during exercise, your temperature goes up | this also decreases tendency of oxygen to bind to hemoglobin; therefore it is released where needed |
| effects of 2,3-bisphosphglercerate BPG | BPG binds to hemoglobin & increases its ability to release oxygen |
| fetal hemoglobin | fetus is able to absorb more oxygen from mother - 50% greater in fetal hemoglobin |
| double Bohr effect | in fetal hemoglobin, this means that baby gets maximum oxygen |
| medullary respiratory center | consists of dorsal respiratory group & ventral respiratory group |
| dorsal respiratory group | stimulate the inspiration |
| ventral respiratory | stimulate experiration |
| pontine (pneumotaxic) | pons is involved in switching between expiration & inspiration |
| modification of ventilation - 7 factors | 1. change in ways you breathe 2. emotions 3. chemoreceptors 4. exercise 5 pain 6. sneeze-cough reflex 7. increase in body temperature |
| herring-breuer reflex | in infants, prevents overinflation of lungs & regulates basic breathing - 2. in adults, important when tidal volume is high during exercise. |
