dorsal respiratory group
|
dorsal portion of medulla oblongata
mainly inspiration |
|
dorsal resp. group receives info. from?
|
1) chemoreceptors
2) baroreceptors 3) other receptors in the lungs |
|
ventral respiratory group
|
ventrolateral portion of medulla
inspiration or expiration involved in increased levels of ventilation |
|
pneumotaxic center
|
dorsally located in the pons
rate and pattern of breathing limits the duration of inspiration increase the RR |
|
strong signal from pneumotaxic center
|
reduces the time of inspiration
|
|
weak signal from pneumotaxic center
|
increase the time of inspiration
|
|
which resp. group is most important in controlling resp.
|
dorsal resp. group
|
|
ultimate goal of resp.
|
to maintain proper [H], [O2], and [CO2] in the tissue
|
|
what stimulate the resp. center directly
|
increased [H] and [CO2], not [O2]
|
|
[O2]
|
no direct effect on the resp. center
acts through the peripheral chemoreceptors |
|
where chemoreceptors located?
|
carotid and aortic bodies
|
|
net diffusion of a gas in one direction
|
is a direct effect of its [ ] gradient
|
|
total pressure of a gas
|
is directly proportional to the [ ] of the gas molecules
|
|
partial pressure
|
the pressure of a specific gas
|
|
pressure of a gas in solution is determined by?
|
[gas] and the solubility coefficient
|
|
Henry's Law
|
pressure=[dissolved gas]/solubility coefficient
|
|
the solubility coefficient at body temp.
|
O2=0.024
CO2=0.57 |
|
net diffusion
|
is determined by the difference bet. the 2 partial pressure
|
|
PP of a gas in the alveoli (O2) > blood
|
go to the blood
|
|
PP of a gas in the blood(CO2) > alveoli
|
will escape to the alveoli
|
|
respiratory volumes
|
1) TV
2) IRV 3) ERV 4) RV |
|
TV
|
tidal volume
500 ml amt. of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under resting conditions |
|
IRV
|
inspiratory reserve volume
3100 ml amt. of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal TV inhalation |
|
ERV
|
expiratory reserve volume
1200 ml amt. of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal TV exhalation |
|
RV
|
residual volume
1200 ml amt. of air remaining in the lungs after a forced exhalation |
|
respiratory capacities
|
1) TLC
2) VC 3) IC 4) FRC |
|
TLC
|
total lung capacity
6000 ml max. amt. of air contained in lungs after a max. inspiratory effort |
|
TLC =
|
TV+IRV+ERV+RV
|
|
VC
|
vital capacity
4800 ml max. amt. of air that can be expired after a max. inspiratory effort |
|
VC =
|
TV + IRV + ERV
should be 80 % TLC |
|
IC
|
inspiratory capacity
3600 ml max. amt. of air that can be inspired after a normal expiration |
|
IC =
|
TV + IRV
|
|
FRC
|
functional residual capacity
2400 ml volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal TV expiration |
|
FRC =
|
ERV + RV
|
|
PO2
|
air = 149 mm Hg
alveoli = 104 mm Hg venous = 40 mm Hg |
|
PO2
|
alveoli > blood > tissue
|
|
PCO2
|
air = 0 mm Hg
alveoli = 40 mm Hg venous = 45 mm Hg |
|
PCO2
|
tissue > blood > alveoli
|
|
Va/Q = 0
|
Va is 0 and there's still perfusion
no gas exchange no ventilation |
|
Va/Q = 0
PCO2 and PO2 ? |
same as venous blood
PCO2 = 45 mm Hg PO2 = 40 mm Hg |
|
Va/Q = infin.
|
Va is perfect but no perfusion
no gas exchange |
|
Va/Q = infin.
PCO2 and PO2 ? |
same as inspired air
PCO2 = 0 mm Hg PO2 = 149 mm Hg |
|
normal Va/Q
|
PO2 = 104 mm Hg
Pco2 = 40 mm Hg |
|
physiological shunt
|
the amt. of non-oxigenated blood/min.
|
|
physiologic dead space
|
the sum of 2 types of wasted ventilation
1) if Va/Q = higer than normal 2) vent. of the anatomical dead space areas |
|
O2-Hgb dissociation curve
|
show a progressive increase in the % of Hgb bound to O2 as the PO2 increase
|
|
shifts to right
|
decreased affinity
|
|
cause for shifts to right
|
