This is the pathway of air when it enter the mouth and ends in the alvioli
|
epiglotis, glotis, larynx, trachea, carina, right and left broncius, bronchioles, alvioli
|
|
part of respiration that requires moving large gas volumes through open, semi-rigid airways offering low resistance to low. here the inspired gas is warmed, humidified, and cleaned
|
ventilation in conducting zone
|
|
what are the trachea and large bronchi lines with?
|
cilia and mucus secreting goblet cells
|
|
this protects the lungs from the pressure of other organs of the body
|
visceral and parietal pleura
|
|
an invisible lung that is transparent in x-rays and probably collapsed
|
pneumothorax
|
|
this part of respiration requires matching gas exchange to blood flow through pulmonary capillaries in thin alveolar septa (walls)
|
diffusion
|
|
do healthy lungs tend to resist inflation?
|
yes
|
|
the recoil forces in the lungs
|
collagen and elastin fibers in septal walls
|
|
P = (2 x T) / r
describes surface tension at moist air-tissue interfaces of alveolar membranes |
Law of Laplace
|
|
the pressure required to inflate or deflate lungs to a particular volume is a measure of......
|
compliance
|
|
equation for compliance
|
change V/ change P
|
|
what are diseases that reduce compliance?
|
edema.. stiff lungs
|
|
this reduces the surface tensions at the air-tissue interface of septa
- phospholipid mixture secreted by Type II epithelial cells - make lungs more compliant and easier to expand at low lung volumes - stored in lamellar bodies until secreted into alveoli |
pulmonary surfactant
|
|
these are the muscles of expiration (5)
|
1. internal intercostal
2. external abdominal oblique 3. internal abdomial oblique 4. transversus abdominus 5. rectus abdominus |
|
these are the muscles of inspiration (5)
|
1. sternocleidomastroid
2. scalenes 3. external intercostal 4. parasternal intercostal 5. diaphragm |
|
the basic operation of a spirometer is to measure what??
|
respiratory lung volumes
|
|
the maximal volume expired after a maximal inspiration
|
vital capacity
|
|
gas remaining in the lungs after such a maximal expiration
|
residual volume
|
|
vital capacity + residual volume =
|
total lung capacity
|
|
normal breath stops at....
|
functional residual capacity
|
|
what is the pressure in the interpleural space (Pip) at functional residual capacity? ( the normal pause position between breaths in a resting subject)
AT REST |
-4 mm Hg vs. atmospheric pressure
|
|
this covers the outer lung surfaces
|
visceral pleura
|
|
this covers the inner walls of the chest cavity
|
parietal pleura
|
|
narrow gap between visceral and parietal pleura
|
intrapleural space
|
|
intrapleural pressure becomes more (positive or negative) as the lungs are stretched open to breathe in the tidal volume
|
negative
|
|
intrapulmonary (intra-airway) pressure must also be (positive or negative) for air to enter the lungs during inspiration
|
negative
|
|
in order for air to leave the lungs, should Pip become more or less negative?
|
less negative
|
|
in order for air to leave the lungs, should intrapulmonary pressure become more or less negative?
|
less negative
|
|
what is the intrapulmonary pressure during...
a) inspiration b) expiration |
a) -3
b) +3 |
|
what is the intrapleural pressure during...
a) inspiration b) expiration |
a) -6
b) -3 |
|
what is the transpulmonary pressure during...
a) inspiration b) expiration |
a) +3
b) +6 |
|
healthy subjects should be able to forcefully expire their entire vital capacity in 3-5 seconds, achieving what percentage in the first second?
|
80%
|
|
persons with airway obstruction will expire how much of their vital capacity in the 1st second?
|
62.5%
|
|
lung ventilation and lung blood perfusion are higher in the ______ of the upright lung rather than the _____
|
based, apex
|
|
during acclimization to high altitude, the partial pressure of oxygen ______ due to decreased total atmospheric pressure
|
decrease
|
|
during acclimization to high altitude, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide ______ due to hyperventilation in response to low arterial PO2
|
decreased
|
|
during acclimization to high altitude, the percent of oxyhemoglobin saturation ______ due to lower PO2 in pulmonary capillaries
|
decreased
|
|
during acclimization to high altitude, ventilation ______ due to lower PO2
|
increases
|
|
during acclimization to high altitudes, total hemoglobin _____ due to stimulation by erythropoletein; raises oxygen capacity of blood to partiallyor completely compensate for the reduced partial pressure
|
increase
|
|
during acclimization to high altitudes, total oxyhemoglobin affinity _____ due to increased DPG within the red blood cells; results in a higher percent unloading of oxygen to the tissues
|
decrease
