NO mucus but resp bronch do have some cilia and SM
what are 4 cell types in the alveoli
I: line, thin, easy for gas exchange
II: make surfactant
Macrophages (PAM): keep the alveoli clean (no mucus/cilia to do it. macro move up to respiratoy bronch and get swept upward by the cilia there)
Clara: no cilia, helo make surfactant, have granules
what does surfactant do to ST
REDUCES it

type II cells
is pulmonary BF equal when you stand, lay?
stand: NOPE, gravity increase BF to bottom and top lung gets less BF

Lay: equal BF
how is pulm BF regulated
same way as all vessels, by altering resistance
what are lung VOLUMES
(4 specific ones)
1. TV: air in normal breathing (includes air in conducting AND alv)
2. Inspiratory Reserve: extra air you breath in
3. Expiratory reserve: eatra air you can breath out
4. Residual: the air that is stuck in the lungs no matter how hard to exhale (not measured with spirometry)
what are lung CAPACITIES
( 4 specific ones)
1. IC (inspiratory capacity): total amt you breath in, Tv + IRV

2. functional residual capacity (FRC): air still in lungs after Tv exhalation, ERV + RV (equilibrium volume, volume in lung at rest- just b4 inspiration)

3. Vital Capacity: amt breathed out after maximal inhalation, IRV + ERV (increases with conditioning, size, sex & decreases with age)

4. Total Lung Capacity: all lung volumes, VC + RV

5. FVC: total amt of air forcibly exhaled after maximal inhale

what is dead space

anatomical
physiological
does not involve in gas exchange

**PDS is TOTAL amt of air that doesnt participate in gas echange, includes anatomic and bad alveoli
what does Tv include
its the air you breath in and out in normal respiration

**includes air in the conducting zone AND alv
dead space
Anatomic
Functional
Physiological
Anatomic: conducting
Functional: bad alveoli
Physiological: sum of anatomic and functional, usually there is no functional dead space
what causes functional dead space
when vent and perfusion dont match

V/Q mismatch
in order to estimate PDS what assumptions need to be made?
1. all CO2 that is expired comes from alv
2. no CO2 in air
3. PDS does nothing to CO2
if PDS is 0 what happens to CO2 in alv and CO2 expired

what happens if there is PDS
the CO2 that is in the alv is equal to the CO2 that is expired

If there is PDS the CO2 from alv is diluted and CO2 expired is less
if you compare CO2 alv and CO2 Expired what can you determine
the dilution factor, ie the PDS

**recall through you use PaCO2 (PaCO2 & PACO2 are equal)
if you want to use alv CO2 to determine PDS, what is used instead of a sample of alveolar air
arterial blood

**you cant sample alv air, BUT... alv air equilibrates with pulm capillary and you can use arterial blood to measure CO2 in alv
what is one formula to determine Vd

(Vd is PDS)
PDS = Vt (CO2a-CO2e/CO2a)

CO2a-CO2e/CO2a is the dilution factor of dead space

**remember CO2a is the same as CO2 A
what does A mean
what does a mean
A: alv
a: arteriole
List in order the steps of external respiration
1. VENTILATION of air btwn atm and alv in lungs, rate can vary

2. EXCHANGE of CO2 adn O2 btwn alv air and alv blood, diffusion

3. TRANSPORT of CO2 and O2 btwn tissue/lungs. CO2 carried as bicarb, O2 carried on Hg

4. EXCHANGE of CO2 and O2 btwn blood and tissue, diffusion

**then it goes to internal respiration at the level of the tissue
what is internal respiration, where is it done, what is made, what is used
"cellular respiration" mitochondria

use O2 and food to make CO2, H20 and ATP
Summary
External Respiration
Internal Respiration
External: vent, exchange, transport, exchange

Internal: mito, RQ varies with food, (CO2/O2)
what is RQ
What type of respiration
Normal value, can the value change
Respiratory Quotient
Internal Respiration
CO2 produced/O2 consumed

normal 0.8

varies with food (carb 1, fat, 0.7, protein 0.8)

**less CO2 is made for a given molecule of O2 with fat/protein compared to carbs
so... when you eat fat what does RQ do, what does this mean
RQ normal is 0.8
RQ fat is 0.7

the RQ is less (CO2/O2) so CO2 production is decreased foe each O2 consumed
where does intrapleural fluid come from

D = (SA) (P)/thick
in a healthy lung is diffusion distance a big deal for the rate of diffusion
nope, its thin (single cell alv/capilary)

when lungs are fibrotic and thicker the distance increases and diffusion decreases

what values can indicate lung disease
FEV1/FCV:
RV/TLC: normal is 25%, wont distinguish obstructive and restrictive- both are increased
what is the normal RV/TLC
about 25%

**the amt of air left in your lungs should be about a quarter ot the total volume your lungs can hold

**greater than 25 indicates lung disease

what happens to RV/TLC in restrictive lung disease (fibrosis)
increeases (more that 25%) in both cases

Obstructive: RV increases

alveolar

Alv Vent: Tv-Vd x RR
Alv Vent: VCO2 x K/PACO2
what is the ket relationship that is described by alv vent
the INVERSE relationship btwn alv vent and alveolar CO2

**when the ventilation rate is high we are removing lots of CO2 from alv and CO2 is low. When vent is low the CO2 builds up and is high
if CO2 production is constant what determines CO2 in the alv
the ventilation rate

when the vent rate is high we have little CO2
when vent rate is low we have lots of CO2 built up
what is the relationship graphically of CO2 in alv and alv vent rate at a constant CO2 production
we know there is an inverse relationship

*graphically its HYPERBOLIC
what is the relationship btwn PACO2 (alv) and PaCO2 (arterial)
they are the same. remember the CO2 in the alv is the same as the CO2 in the blood
so were talking about alv vent

*at constant CO2 production we know that alv vent and CO2 in alv are inversely related (hyperbolic)

*what happens if we change the CO2 prodiction
if CO2 production doubles, Alv Vent will also double to keep alveolar CO2 constant at 40 mmHg
what is the usual amt of CO2 in the alv/arterial system? how is this kept constant when there is an increase in CO2 production
40 mmHg

alv vent rate increases to clear the excess CO2 that is being made
when production of CO2 doubles what way does the curve shift?
right shift

**CO2 production doubles, Alv vent rate doubles, the CO2 in alveoli is constant
what is FVC
its the amt of air forcible exhaled after maximal inhalation,

FEv1 is the amt exhaled in the first second
what is the amt of air forcibly exhaled after maximal inhale
FVC

FEV1 is the amt blown out in the first second, its about 80% of total
wht is FEV1/FCV
its the amt of air blown out after maximal inhale

**this gives us the ratio of waht % is blown out in the first second, its usually about 80%

*if its less, obstructive, emphysema
**if its more, restrictive, fibrosis
when we look at FEV1/FCV in fibrosis what happens
its restrictive
the value is more than 80%
the FVC is super decreased which gives us a larger ratio
when we look st FEV1/FVC in asthma (emphysemis) what happens
obstrucitve
the value is less than 80%
the amt of air expired in the first second is super decreased so the ratio is decreased
if FEV1/FVC is increased what kind of disease, what value is altered
restrictive, fibrosis

**the lungs have a decreased FVC
if FEV1/FVC is decreased what kind of disease, what value is altered
obstructive, asthma, emphysema

*the lungs have a decreased ability to exhale in the first second
waht volume fills the airway AND alveoli
Tidal Volume
is vital capacity constant
nope

increases with: conditioning, male, size
decreases with age
what values are not measured with spirometry
RV
FRC
TLC
PDS =
anatomic DS + functinoal DS
when CO2 production changes what else changes simliarly
alv vent rate
what is a normal FEV1/FEC
0.8 (80%)
what values tell us lung disease, which one distinguishes obstructive nad restrictive
RV/TLC: when elevated we have lung disease

FEV1/FCV: when its more than 80 its restirctive disease, less than 80 is obstructive

**restrictive lowers FCV
**obstructive lowers FEV1
