Term
What is the average breath rate per min?
Definition
12 times
Term
What is the average ml that moves in and out of resspitory zone?
Definition
500ml of tidal volume
Term
what is the percent that reaches the alveoli?
Definition
70%
Term
what is used to measure respiratory volume?
Definition
Spirometer
Term
what are the two types of lung diseases?
Definition
OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE
emphysema, chronic bronchitis,COPD, asthma
RESTRICTIVE DISORDERS pulmonary fibrosis, muscle disease (restriction of lung capacity
Term
What is influences the gas exchange in the lungs?
Definition
Partial Pressure gradients
The solubility of gases
The heal of respiratory membrane
Term
The pressure is so steep during diffusion in the lungs that is why it diffusion occurs so rapidly. what is the pressure of deoxygenated blood ?
Definition
mm HG
Term
what is the pressure of at the Alveolar pressure
Definition
mm Hg
Term
How fast does 02 reach equilibruim in the lungs.
Definition
.25 secs
Term
Is partial gradient steep?
Definition
No capillary blood is 45 mm hg
Alveolar is mm hg
Term
what is the average surface area of the respiratory membrane? 4x skin/ 40 x skin/ 400 x skin.
Definition
40x that of ones skin
Term
how is 02 tranpsort in the body
Definition
a molecule
Term
what carries the most 02 in the blood?
Definition
1.5% disolved in plasma
98.5% in hemoglobin
Hgb is fully 100% of saturated in all four heme groups carry 02
Term
How is CO2 transported the blood
Definition
7 to 10% in plasma
20% bound to globin
70% comine with water and is transportes as bicarbonate ions in plasma
Term
how does pressure travel?
Definition
always high to low
Term
where does 02 loading happen?
Definition
lungs
Term
where does 02 unloading happen
Definition
tissue
Term
what is hypoxia?
Definition
low 02
Term
what are three things that can cause hemostatic imbalance?
Definition
1. to low RBC
2.Abormal of liter Hgb
3. blocked circulation (ischemia)
4. metabolic poisioning (cynaide)
5. carbon monoxide poisioning
6. pulmonary disease
Term
bu
Definition
Term
how does CO2 behave in the blood?
Definition
acts like a acid. changes the pH in our body
Term
What are the two centers in the medulla that regulate respiration?
Definition
Ventreal Respitatory- generates the rate and rythm
Dorasl Respiratory- intergrates input from peripheral stretch and chemorecptors.
Term
What is it called when Pco2 levels rise in the blood?
Definition
hypercapnia
Term
if a pt has hypercapnia what is the bodies first response?
Definition
to breath faster and deeper to blow off the Co2
Term
what are the peripheral chemoreceptos in the aortic and cartoid bodies?
Definition
02 sensors
Term
what is the most powerful respiratory stimulant?
Definition
CO2
Term
what is the main way 02 is transported in blood?
Definition
hemoglobin the the red blood cells
Term
Is COPD reversable?
Definition
No once damage is done its done
Term
what is asthma?
Definition
bronchospams tht is caused by release of histamine and interleuus when IgE bound to mast cells, mast cell degranulation and the recruitment of other inflammatort cells.
Term
what is PO2
Definition
pressure of O2
Term
what does CO2 so bad for people?
Definition
it binds much stronger the oxygen
Term
what does the oxygen level have to be before the receptors kick in ?
Definition
60mm hg
Term
what is the average title volume?
Definition
500 ml
Term
what is dyspnea?
Definition
labored breathing (air hunger)
