Question
Answer
PO2 is   partial pressure of oxygen  
🗑
PCO2   partial pressure of Carbon Dioxide  
🗑
air on the arterial side contains much higher   PO2  
🗑
air on the arterial side contains much lower   PCO2  
🗑
Higher PO2 and PCO2 allow for oxygen to   diffuse into the capillary  
🗑
Higher PO2 and PCO2 allow carbon dioxide to   diffuse out of capillary, after which it is exhaled  
🗑
P is   partial pressure of a gas  
🗑
Tissue PO2 stays at approximately   40 mm Hg  
🗑
Hg is   mercury  
🗑
when not breathing pressure inside the lungs is same or different   same  
🗑
atmospheric pressure in   760 mm HG  
🗑
PV stands for   pressure and volume  
🗑
if lung pressure goes up volume goes....   down  
🗑
if lung pressure goes down, volume goes   up  
🗑
the pressure within the lungs drops .... mm HG during   inspiration  
🗑
during inspiration mm HG is   758  
🗑
the diaphragm comes up or drops down during inspiration   drops down  
🗑
Type ii alveolar cells secretee   lipoprotein  
🗑
lipoprotein substances is called   surfactant  
🗑
are surfactants a dry or oily substances   oily  
🗑
inside the alveoli,water tension does what   pulls inward on the alveolus  
🗑
why does water tension pull inwards on the alveolus   it is trying to collapse it  
🗑
...... breaks surface tension   surfactant  
🗑
why is it important to have surfactant   breaks surface tension to prevent collapse of the alveoli  
🗑
fetal lung produce very little   surfactant  
🗑
when born premature the lung   are difficult to expand and alveoli may collapse due to surface tension  
🗑
during respiratory distress syndrome what can be inserted in the lung   artificial surfactant  
🗑
In the brain stem, what contains respiratory centers to control breathing   pons & medulla oblongata  
🗑
what controls the rate of breathing   pons and medulla oblongata  
🗑
what 2 nerves control over breathing   phrenic & vagus  
🗑
diaphragm contracts via the   phrenic nerve  
🗑
sensory information from the lungs travels back to the brain via   vagus nerve  
🗑
what nerve tells the brain houw stretched the lung are and not to over stretch them   vagus nerve  
🗑
carbon dioxide is an   acid  
🗑
the higher the acidity the .... the ph   lower  
🗑
can receptors in the brain detect blood chemistry changes in breathing   yes  
🗑
the receptors in the brain that detect the changes in blood chemistry that affect breathing are called   central chemoreceptors  
🗑
ph will go up or down as PCO2 increases   down  
🗑
if ph drops below 7.4 this change is detected in the medulla oblongata, true or false   true  
🗑
what is detected in the medulla oblongata   changes in ph levels  
🗑
what causes an increase in respiration   ph drop below 7.4  
🗑
Receptors in the arota and carotid arteries detect changes in   oxygen concentration  
🗑
receptors in the aorta are called   aortic bodies  
🗑
receptors in the carotid ateries are called   carotid bodies  
🗑
what receptors send sensory information   arotic and carotid bodies  
🗑
sensory information is sent via what nerve   vagus and glossopharyngeal nerve  
🗑
the vegus and glossopharyngeal nerves send information to the   medulla oblongata  
🗑
low oxygen will trigger stimulation of ........   aorta and carotid receptors  
🗑
when low oxygen trigger stimulation of receptors this will   increase respiration  
🗑
Tidal volume   amount of air moved during a breath 500ml  
🗑
inspiration reserve volume   additional inspiration lung volume not used at rest 3000ml  
🗑
expiratory reserve volume   additional expiration lung volume not used at rest 1100ml  
🗑
residual volume (dead space)   set amount of air in lungs after maximum expiration 1200ml  
🗑
vital capacity   maximum tidal volume... max amount of air 4600ml  
🗑
total lung capacity   5800ml  
🗑
vital capacity is equal to   inspiration reserve + tidal volume + expiratory reserve volune  
🗑
total lung capacity is equal to   Inspiratory reserve + tidal volume + expiratory reserve volume + residual volume (dead space) aq  
🗑
hemoglobin saturation is   amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin  
🗑
what affect hemoglobin saturation   PCO2, ph and temperature  
🗑
an increased PCO2 causes more dissociation of   oxygen from hemaglobin  
🗑
as ph decreases, hemoglobin saturation   decreases  
🗑
an increase in PCO2 causes   decrease in ph  
🗑
a decrease in ph causes   more oxygen to dissociate  
🗑
ph is dependent on more than just   CO2  
🗑
is hemoglobin saturation inversely proportional to temperature   yes  
🗑
increased tempurature is degreased   hemoglobin saturation  
🗑
body temp in celius   37-38  
🗑
asthma is a condition of what   trachea and bronchi lumen  
🗑
what happens when you have asthma   inflammation and mucous production, muscle contraction and lumen decreases in size  
🗑
emphysema is a condition of   alveolar walls rupture, creating larger spaces but less surface area for gas exchanges  
🗑
emphysema increases surface area for gas exchange   false  
🗑
what reduces elasticity of lung, resulting in difficulty exhaling   emphysema  
🗑
