LAYERS OF AIRWAY

1. Epithelium 2. Smooth muscle 3.Connective tissue

Gas exchange units

ALVEOLUS , PULMONARY CAPILLARY NETWORK SURROUNDS THE ALVEOLI

Pc

Alveolus

Primary gas exchange unit


THIN WALLED. Of epithelial cell layer and thin, elastic basement membrane

Type 1 alveolar epithelial cell-aka (pneumocytes)

Extremely thin and provide surface for gas exchange. Covers 90 to 95% of alveolar surface

Part of alveolus

Type 2 alveolar epithelial cell

SURFACTANT PRODUCTION. Lipoprotein that coats the inner surface of the ALVEOLI.


B. Lowers alveolar surface tension and prevents collapse at end expiration.


Capable of cell division. Type 1and 2 cell replacement

4 things

Pulmonary CAPILLARY NETWORK SURROUNDS THE alveoli

Endothelial cells with thin badement membrane. Often fuse with basement membrane of alveolus

Alveolocapilary membrane

Very thin, but surface area 70 to 10 ..will cover half a tennis court, if spread out.


Very little desperation between gas in the alveolus and blood in the CAPILLARY.


Easily damaged

Vvc

Ventilation

Movement of air between the atmosphere and ALVEOLI

Air

Diffusion

Movement of gases across a membrane..aka..gas exchange....difusing process ALVEOLI, CAPILLARY, membrane...o2 to co2...

Gas exhange, passive transport

Diffusion of oxygen from ALVEOLI to capillary

Down it concentration gradient from high PAO2 to lower PaO2....pressure gradient..how much gas, air we breathe

Diffusion at the tissues across the capillary wall

Oxygen unloaded down it's concentration gradient from blood-( measure of partial pressure. ) goes To tissues.



Co2 picked up moving from high concentration in tissue to low concentration in blood...mitocobdria produce co2 by product of apt production



Diffusion of c02 from pulmonary capillary network

Ocd

Perfusion

Flow of blood through the pulmonary capillary network

Pulmonary circulation (perfusion)

Pulmonery arteries brings deoxygenated blood to lung from right heart



Pulmonary veins. Brings oxygenated blood from lungs back to left heart

Pv, pa

Bronchial circulation ( perfusion)

Arterial branch..oxgenated blood to conducting airways, nerves, lymph node, pleura



Venous branch. Brings deoxygenated blood back to systemic system or pulmonary veins


Regulation of flow in response to local factors..perfusion

Decrease PAO2 to hypoxic pulmonary vasconstriction ....send good blood to alveli to pick up 02.send blood to where concentration gradient is better.


Regulation of flow don't. Acidosis

Vasoconstriction....need more blood and oxygen

Reg of flow. MEDIATORS

Vasodilators (more blood)and vasoconstrictors(less blood)

Regulation of flow physiologic effect

Diverts blood to area of the lung with more adequate ventilation.


Can affect more than one area of the entire lung.....opposite of system circulation

Regulation of flow (Pathophisiologic)

Pulmonary hypertension

Perfusion 3 part

Pulmonary circulation


Bronchial circulation


Regulation of flow in response to local factors

Ventilation/Perfusion MATCHING

Alveolocapilary units receive almost equal amount of ventilation and perfusion

Ventilation/ Perfusion MISMATCHING

Abnormal distribution of ventilation and perfusion with respect to each other....pulmonary disease

V/Q VENTILATION AND PERFUSION MISMATCHING MOST COMMON CAUSE OF ...

hypoxEMIA

Ventilation perfusion abnormalties 4 part

LOW VENTILATION TO PERFISION RATIO



VERY LOW


HIGH V/Q


SILENT UNIT

LOW V/Q ratio..and Examples

Alveolar ventilation is impaired but blood flow continues.



Chronic bronchitis


Asthma

Very LOW V/Q ratio(Shunt).and Examples

Alveolus completed unventilated but blood flow continues



Atelectasis. Collapse


ARDS


PNEUMONIA..full of crud, no gas exchange, ventilation low

High V/Q ratio.(dead space).and Examples

Alveolus is ventilated but no blood flow thru capillary



Pulmonary embolism


Low flow states

Silent unit.....V/Q

Poor ventilation and poor perfusion

Dyspnea

Difficult or labored breathing

Orthopnea

Person must be in an upright position to breathe deeply or comfortably

Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea

Attacks of severe SOB and coughing that generally occurs at night.

Hemoptysis

Coughing up blood mixed with sputum

Kussmaul respiration

Deep , labored breathing pattern often associated with severe metabolic acidosis, DkA, but also kidney failure

Cheyne Stokes respiration

Abnormal patterns of breathing..deeper, faster, temporarily stop breating..apnea

Cyanosis

Blueish discoloration. Deoxygenated hemoglobin in blood

Clubbing

Deformity of fingers or toe nails associated with a number of diseases mostly heart and lung

Alterations in PaCO2 concentration(Arterial blood)

Hypercapnia and hypocapnia, respiratory acidosis

Hypercapnia

Elevated CO2 levels. Hypoventilation of the alveoli...not breathing dealt or fast enough Co2 build up in blood

Hypercapnia Etiology

Increased airway resistance


Decreased drive to breathe


Disorder of nervous system function, respiration muscle weakness or paralysis


Loss of structural integrity/ elasticity of chest wall or lungs.


Result..respiratory acidosis. Myocardial depression , electrolyte abnormalties

IDDL

Increased airway resistance (Hypercapnia )

Material within lumen.mucous plugging


2. Thickening or contraction of airway ( broncospasm)


3. Pressure from outside airway. ( tumor)

Decreased drive to breathe (hypercapnia)

Drugs acting on can


Administration of oxygen, copd to someone who gas list sensitivity to c02 levels as stimulus to breathe and depend on hypoxic drive

Disorders of nervous system (hypercapnia)

Infection or i inflammation


Trauma


Disease of neuromuscular junctions

Result of hypercapnia

Respiratory acidosis. Myocardial depression and electrolyte abnormalties

Hypocapnia

LOW levels of co2.

Hypocapnia result

Respiratory alkalosis...cns irritability and electrolyte abnormalties

Hypocapnia etiology

Severe anxiety


Traumatic brain injury


HypoxEMIA...less oxygen in blood

HypoxEMIA

Less oxygen in blood
