|
alveolar gases
|
the composition of gas in the lungs
|
|
comparision of gas in atmoshpere to gas in alveoli
|
-more CO2 and H2O in alveoli
more H2O because more condensation from conductive pathway -less O2 and N2 in the alveoli because O2 does not stay in the alveoli it travels to the tissues and always leaves alvolis) |
|
conductive pathway
|
conducts air from mouth to the alveoli
|
|
why is gas composition different
|
-we cannot empty lungs/ alveoli

how does carbon dioxide travel ?
|
body --> heart --> lungs
|
|
Pressure Gradients
|
oxygen: in deoxygenated blood ( to lungs )
|
|
why is surface area important
|
because a larger surface area contact between vasculature and alveoli --> transfer between 2 areas more easily through diffusion
|
|
emphysema
|
-hard breathing from heavy smoking causes erosion of the wall of alveoli. Causing a loss in surface area.
-gas diffusion is not great --> this means that O2 is brought to the body |
|
tumors
|
cause a thickening of alveoli wall--> less O2 enter because it has a harder time passing through
|
|
bronchitis
|
build up of mucous causes the rate of diffusion to go down, which means that not enough O2 is getting the body tissue
|
|
Ventilation perfusion coupling
|
-perfusion: bringing blood to the area
-in the lungs, not all alveoli are big/round and full of O2 -each alveoli is surrounded by capillaries |
|
gas transport in blood
|
-want as much O2 to blood as possile
-dissolving in the plasma (5L plasma in the body--> every L can carry <3 mLs of o2) -use hemoglobin (carry up to 200 ml?l o2) (hemoglobin can also carries co2) |
|
hemoglobin structure
|
-co2 is carried on alpha and beta globin
-98% of o2 is picked up in the RBC's -2% in the plamsa -4 heme groups to bind to |
|
Hb-O2 affinity
|
this means that o2 is attracted to hemoglobin and wants to bind to it
|
|
decreasing Hb-O2 affinity
|
making it more difficult for oxygen to bind to hemoglobin
|
|
how can you decrease Hb-O2 affinty
|
-increase pCO2
(decrease in % saturation) -elevate body temp (less o2 binds to it) -blood pH decrease (lower number-->more acidic--> harder for o2 to bind to it) -2,3 diphosphateglycerate (RBC's do not have a lot of mitochondria and make ATP aerobically) |
|
Ohypoxia
|
when there is an inadequate amount of O2 going to tissues
|
|
Anemia
|
-causes hypoxia
-someone has low number of RBC's --> they have low hemocrit--> cannot carry enough o2 |
|
ischemic
|
-causes hypoxia
-if there is a blockage in the circulatory system, it decreases flow--> therefore o2 is not transported |
|
histoxic
|
enough o2 is transported to the cells, but the chemical prevents the enzymes in the electron transport from workin --> cannot use o2 to make ATP
|
|
hypoxemic
|
-too much co2 in blood and cannot get rid of it --> therefore there is not enouhg o2
-this can cause co2 poisoning -a reduced pO2 is arterials (not enough o2 in body) |
|
CO2 transport (3 ways)
|
-dissolved in plasma--> 10%
-attached to hemoglobin--> 20-30% -converting co2 into bicarbonate ions--> 60-70% |
|
co2 transport - dissolved in plasma
|
goes from gas to liquid
|
|
co2 transport- attached to hemoglobin
|
-binds to Hb when o2 comes off to go to the tissue
-co2 attaches and goes casculature -occurs in RBC's |
|
co2 transport- convering into bicarbonate ions
|
co2+h2o ----> h2co3
|
|
bicarbonate ions
|
-more acid --> pH down
- no enzyme to speed this up -slowly combine with h2o to become more acidic and disassociates to the H+ and hco3 -pH goes down when co2 is in the plasma |
|
co2 transport into the lungs
|
-from the blood to the alveolis
-bicarbonate moves in, chloride moves out into the plasma--> reverse chloride shift |
|
respiration

|
function of conduction pathway
|
-warm air going into lungs due to heat exchange
-air is cleaned through the passage way (mucosa) -air becomes humid (dry air mixes with water vapor) -phonation- the larynx is part of the conduction zone -regulation of air flow by constriction/dilating blood vessels surrounding it |
|
function of respiratory zone
|
-surface area contact between vasculature and alveoli
-max o2 in and co2 out -as exchange through diffusion |
|
2 cells of respiratory zone- 2
|
1. type I cells: lined with epithelium
-flat cells, want there to be narrow distance between the alveoli and vasculature -function=gas exchange 2. type II cells: production of surfactant- allows to break hydrogen bonds so they don't have yo form -->alveoli wont collapse-->maintain shape and can exchange gas |
|
gas exchange
|
-oxygen-from alveoli to vasculature, carbon dioxide- from pulmonary capillaries to alveoli
-difference is partial pressure gas must pass through 3 membranes -epithelium -fused basal layer -capillary endothelium |
|
diffusion distance
|
squamous cells--> more sufficent gas exchange--- the shorter the distance the better ( less distance to travel)

there is a blood pressure drop in glomerli
-want continuous laminar flow to allow filtration |
|
rate of glomerilar flitration supply is determined by
|
-filtration surface area (more glomerlular capillaries
-filtration membrane permeability (more perm. then fater filtration) (h2o very permeable and RBS and WBC are not) -net filtration pressure (higher filtration pressure causes the rate of filtration to go up) |
|

|
|
GSR is regulated by ___________.
|
renal auto regulation
-self contained |
|
countercurrent multiplication
|
want concentrated urine --> save h2o
-if you get rid of too much your blood pressure will drop -290 mOms is normal -above 300= hypertonic - below 300= hypotonic -the proximal convoluted tubule is 300 mOms inside-->NaCl is reabsorbed by vascularue by active transport -simple diffusion of urea and h2o |
|
loop of Henley is approximately _______ mOms .
why? |
-1200
-because 15% h2o is leaving and being reabsorbed by diffusion or osmosis-->further into the medulla, the concentration increases until you get to 12000 -comes out because the concentration in the nephron is less than in the interstition. -salt DOES NOT leave |
|
In the ascending loop og Henley ________ leaves
|
salt: actively pumped out-->higher concentration in the interstition
(NOT h2o) -what happens in the descending relays on ascending loop |
|
total reabsobtion
|
99% is reabsorbed (h2o)
1% urine |
|
reabsorbtion of NaCl
|
because the concentration in the interstition goes up, and water is re absorbed in the descending loop
|
|
Urea
|
build up of concentration in the plasma-freely filters in the glomerulus
|
|
most of the nephron is ______ permeable to urea
|
NOT
-only the bottom of the collecting duct is |
|
concentration gradient goes up to _____ mOms because of NaCl and urea being filtered and reabsorbed
|
1200
|
|
urea is _____ in the descending loop of Henley
|
secreted
|
|
concentraion of urine is determined by
|
-the collecting duct -->h2o going out, being reabsorbed
-ADH hormone: allows production of concentrated urine by: cells of the duct are permeable to water--> reabsorb eater |
|
hormone related to urine concentration
|
Arginine vasopressin
-produces by the posterior pituitary gland and is signaled to release ADH to blood and targets the nephron (distal collecting duct) |
|
vasa recta
|
draws h2o out of collecting duct, need high concentration in the medulla
-if blood is brought quickly to medulla some salt will enter the blood-->will run out of NaCl in the interstition--> cannot reabsorbe water -this is why blood supply enters the vasa recta sloly |
|
urine concentration is usually
|
290 mOms
+/- 5 mOms |
|
urine dilution
|
caused by drinking more water channels--> h2o is impermeable/ cannot cross the cell --> water stays
|
|
why does urine dilution happen
|
-collecting duct-->h2o is not reabsorbed-->do not form water channels-->h2o is impermeable-->water stays
-arteial natiuretic peptide |
|
atrial natriutetic peptide (ANP):
|
senses that blood pressure is too high-->ANP is released by arterial cells and targets the distal tubule and the collecting duct-->decreases sodium absorption-->h2o stays in the nephron and is released in urine
|
|
diuretics
|
-alcohol: affects the pituitary gland so it does not release ADH-->diluted urine is created
-caffeine: vasodilates GFR is increase--> more filtered, pee way more -drugs: inhibit sodium and water absorption-->dehydration (pee more) |
|
Micturition
|
-peeing
-can hold it sometimes -urinary bladder muscle: detrusor muscle |
|
sphincters
