Costanzo-Respiratory Physiology

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show nose, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles  
🗑
conducting zone structure & fxn   show
🗑
show B2-adrenergic agonist used to dilate airways to treat athsma  
🗑
show respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs  
🗑
show participates in gas exchange-->thin walls & large surface area lined with alveoli walls lined with elastic fibers & epithelial cells contain type I & II pneumocytes and alveolar macrophages  
🗑
show synthesizes pulmonary surfactant necessary to reduce alveoli surface tension has regenerative capacity for type I and II pneumocytes  
🗑
show phagocytic cells fill with debri then migrate to bronchioles-->keeps alveoli free of dust & debri imp. bc respiratory zone has no cilia  
🗑
show blood flow not evenly distributed in lungs when standing blood flow lowest at apex and highest at base  
🗑
spirometer   show
🗑
tidal volume   show
🗑
show additional volume inspired above tidal volume approx. 3000 mL  
🗑
expiratory reserve volume   show
🗑
show volume of gas remaining in lungs after maximal forced expiration approx. 1200 mL  
🗑
show volume of airways and lungs that don't participate in gas exchange -anatomic dead space -physiologic dead space both values should be nearly equal in normal persons-->functional dead space should be small  
🗑
anatomic dead space   show
🗑
show total volume of lung that doesn't participate in gas exchange = anatomic dead space + functional dead space in alveoli  
🗑
type of air in alveoli at end-inspiration   show
🗑
show tidal volume + inspiratory volume approx. 3500 mL  
🗑
show expiratory reserve + residual volume approx. 2400 mL also known as equilibrium volume: volume remaining in lungs after normal tidal volume expired  
🗑
vital capacity (VC)   show
🗑
forced vital capacity   show
🗑
show *diaphragm during exercise also use external intercostal muscles and accessory muscles  
🗑
show *normally passive process during exercise/disease use abdominal muscles and internal intercostal muscles  
🗑
show describes change in lung volume for given change in pressure higher during expiration than inspiration due to surface tension between liquid-air interface inversely correlated with elastic properties ex) thick and thin rubber band  
🗑
show created by opposing forces between collapsing lung and chest wall that springs out  
🗑
pneumothorax   show
🗑
show increased lung compliance due to loss of elastic fibers leading to decreased elastic recoil pt needs to breathe at higher lung volumes to increase elastic recoil class symptom: barrel-shaped chest  
🗑
fibrosis   show
🗑
show created by attractive forces between adjacent liquid molecules lining alveoli creates high collapsing pressure in small alveoli  
🗑
surfactant   show
🗑
show neonates lacking surfactant-->imp. because increases lung compliance and reduces work of expanding lungs surfactant synthesis produced early as gestational WK24-almost always present by WK35 atelectasis and hypoxemia develops  
🗑
show transpulmonary press. = alveolar pressure - intrapleural pressure (+) value is expanding pressure on lungs (-) value is collapsing pressure on lungs  
🗑
physiologic shunt   show
🗑
show gas exchange limited by diffusion process diffusion will continue as long as partial pressure for gas maintained  
🗑
show gas exchange limited by blood flow partial pressure gradient not maintained-->blood flow must increase to increase gas exchange  
🗑
perfusion-limited O2 transport   show
🗑
diffusion-limited O2 transport   show
🗑
show Po2 in alveolar gas decreases because barometric pressure decreases; partial pressure gradient greatly reduced along with O2 diffusion equilibration is slower  
🗑
show approx. 2% of total O2 in blood-->insufficient meet demands of tissue  
🗑
O2 bound to hemoglobin   show
🗑
methemoglobin   show
🗑
fetal hemoglobin   show
🗑
hemoglobin S   show
🗑
show sigmoidal shape-->affinity increases with each successive O2 molecule bound-->phenomenon called positive cooperativity  
🗑
P50 on O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve   show
🗑
O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve shift to the right   show
🗑
show byproduct of glycolysis in RBC binds to beta chains of deoxyhemoglobin-->reduces O2 affinity  
🗑
show reflects increased O2 affinity-->decreased P50-->makes O2 unloading harder result of decreased Pco2, temperature, 2,3-DPG/hemoglobin F and increased pH  
🗑
carbon monoxide   show
🗑
oxygen transport in blood   show
🗑
carbon dioxide transport in blood   show
🗑
hypoxic vasoconstriction   show
🗑
thromboxane A2   show
🗑
prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2)   show
🗑
leukotrienes   show
🗑
blood flow distribution in lung   show
🗑
right-to-left-shunt   show
🗑
left-to-right shunt   show
🗑
V/Q distribution in lungs   show
🗑
V/Q mismatches   show
🗑
show 1)inspiratory center: controls basic breathing rhythm; input from CNIX and X; output via phrenic n. 2)expiratory center: inactive during quiet breathing because expiration passive process; active during exercise located in reticular formation  
🗑
show produces abnormal breathing pattern with prolonged inspiratory gasps due to prolonged contraction of diaphragm located in lower pons  
🗑
show turns off inspiration;limits tidal volume located in upper pons  
🗑
show hypoxemia-->decrease in arterial Po2 hypoxia-->decrease in O2 delivery  
🗑
show 1)decreased CO 2)anemia 3)carbon monoxide poisoning 4)cyanide poisoning  
🗑
causes of hypoxemia   show
🗑
