🗑
Bronchoconstriction   decreased radius, and increased resistance to flow. Allergy induced spasm of the airways-maybe from histamine release or from parasympathetic stimulation  
🗑

Chronic bronchitis   a long term inflammatory condition of the lower respiratory airways, generally triggered by frequent exposure to irritating cigarette smoke, polluted air, or allergens.  
🗑
Emphysema   collapse of the smaller airways and a breakdown of alveolar walls. Caused by excessive release of destruction enzymes such as trypsin from alveolar macrophages as a defense mechanism in response to chronic exposure to inhaled cigarette smoke or other irr  
🗑
TV   tidal volume-volume of air moved into or out of the lungs during normal breathing 400-500ml  
🗑
IRV   Inspiratory reserve volume-max volume beyond the tidal volume that can be inspired in one deep breath- 3000ml  
🗑
ERV   expiratory reserve volume-max volume beyond the tidal volume that can be forcefully exhaled following a normal expiration- 1100 ml  
🗑
RV   residual volume-air that remains in the lungs follwing a forceful expiration- 1200 ml  
🗑
MRV   minute respiratory volume-volume of air moved in normal ventilation in one minute- 6000ml/min  
🗑
AVV   alveolar ventilation volume-volume of air that actually ventilates the alveoli. A portion of inspired iar does not take part in gas exchange b/c it fills the air passageways (dead air). Dead air makes up about 30% of the tidal volume  
🗑
How much of the tidal volume does dead air contribute   30%  
🗑
TLC   total lung coapacity-sum of the four lung volumes TV+ERV+IRV+RV=TLV=5700ml  
🗑
VC   vital capacity- total amount of air that can be exchanged by the lungs- sum of the TV+IRV+ERV=4600 ml  
🗑
Spirogram   record of pulmonary volumes and capacities  
🗑
6 Layers of the respiratory membrane   1)surfactant 2)thin layer of fluid-water 3)alveolar epithelium 4)interstitial space 5)capillary basement membrane 6)capillary endothelium  
🗑
surfactant   phospholipid protein decreases the surface tenstion of the fluids lining the alveoli and respiratory passages (Hyaline membrane disease or Respiratory distress syndrome)  
🗑
Four factors affecting gaseous diffusion across the respiratory membrane   1)thickness of the respiratory membrane 2)surface area of the membrane 3)diffusion coefficient of each gas 4)pressure difference across the membrane  
🗑
Changes in the thickness of the respiratory membrane   edema in the lungs (left heart failure), pneumonia (edema in membrane and fluid in the lungs)  
🗑
Changes in surface area of the membrane   emphysema-decrease in overall surface area  
🗑
Changes in diffusion coefficient of each gas   O2 has a coefficient value of 1 (it’s the standard), CO2 has a coefficient of 20 (20 times more soluble than water)  
🗑
Changes in pressure difference across the membrane   Pressure in Alveolus (O2=104, CO2=40) in capillary (O2=40 and goes to 104, CO2=45 and goes to 40)

dorsal respiratory group consits mainly of what   inspiratory neurons whose descending fibers stimulate inspiratory muscles. Serves as the major rhythm regulators  
🗑
the ventral respiratory group contains   both inspiratory and expiratory neurons, which are inactive during quiet breathing, but become active during periods in whcih demands on ventailation are increased  
🗑
pneumotaxic center functions   sends impulses to the dorsal neurons that help "switch off" the inspiratory neurons, thereby limiting hte duration of inspiration  
🗑
apneustic center function   prevents the inpiratory neurons from being switched off, thus providing an extra boost to the inspiratory drive

herring-breuer reflex   triggered to prevent overinflation of the lungs. Stretch receptors in the lungs are activated by the stretching of the lungs at large tidal volumes
