In emphysema the alveolar walls are destroyed decreasing recoil in lung tissue. Which of the following changes may be seen in a patient with emphysema?
A- Increased residual volume
B- Decreased total lung capacity
C- Increased blood Oxygen Conc
D- Decreased blood CO2 Conc
Answer is A: The elastic properties of the lung are important during exhalation; passive recoil helps decrease lung volume. With decreased recoil, the patient will have difficulty exhaling completely, which increases the residual volume left in lungs after total exhalation. B is wrong because the total lung capacity will increase (there's less recoil opposing inhalation)
-
ALVEOLAR GAS EXCHANGE Deoxygenated blood from the pulmonary arteries arrive at lung capillaries (originating from R ventricle) Gas Diffusion follows Pressure differentials & Henry's law: O2 has higher partial pressure in the alveolar sac, and so diffused down gradient into capillaries, to bind to Hemoglobin for transport. CO2 has higher partial pressure in the capillaries, and so diffuse down gradient from capillaries to alveolar sac, for expiration. *there are no active transporters for CO2 or O2 in the alveoli!
-
Henry's Law: for a given T, the amount of gas diffused in a liquid (i.e. blood in the capillaries) is directly proportional to its partial pressure and its solubility in water
This means that as a diver descends gas dissolves more easily into our body.
---------------------------------------
Dilation of capillaries allows more blood thru the vessels = more thermal energy lost Constriction = less blood thru vessels = less thermal energy lost (more heat conserved)
-
CO2 + H20 <---> H2CO3 <--> HCO3- + H+
Normal pH range is 7.35-7.45
Acidemia = When blood is too acidic (lower pH) (i.e. shifted to the Right) H+-sensing chemoreceptors next to brain barrier send signals to increase the respiratory rate Increased respiratory rate increases the rate of CO2 removal, which shifts the equation to the Left
Alkalemia = blood is too basic (high pH) (i.e. shifted to the Left) Brain slows respiratory rate, to decrease the rate CO2 is exhaled (thus keeping more CO2 in the blood), which shifts the rxn to the Right to lower the pH i.e. metabolic acidosis = body compensates by increasing respiratory rate to breath off some of the CO2 i.e. anaerobic respiration generates lactic acid; methanol & formaldehyde produce organic acids; Type I Diabetes pts can produce ketoacids when insulin is very low
Hyperventilation = makes your blood more basic (greater loss of CO2)
Hypoventilation = makes your blood more acidic
*in pH control, the important thing to remember is that CO2 is always going to be produced, constantly, by the metabolism of your tissues. So, if breathing rate decreases, don't focus on the O2 that isn't getting to your tissues - focus first on the CO2 that isn't being exhaled, that is making your pH increasingly acidic!!
-
SA node --> AV node --> bundle of His (AV bundle) and branches --> Purkinje fibers SA node depolarization causes atria to contract simultaneously AV node connects atrial and ventricular depolarization; signal is delayed at AV node (to allow ventricles to fill completely before they contract) Signal travels down bundle of His and its branches (in the interventricular septum) to Purkinje fibers Cardiac smooth Muscle cells are connected by intercalated discs= many gap junctions, allows for coordinated ventricular contraction

*QRS triggers ventricular depolarization = ventricular systole
*tarychardia = abnormally fast HR; less time for diastole (atrial and ventricular relaxation); doesn't allow time for blood to fully distend the ventricles, which happens when ventricles are relaxed. Thus, heart can't properly fill with blood, and stops pumping blood; systemic pressure drops.

Sympathetic effects: sympathetic postganglionic nerve fibers release norepinephrine acting on alpha receptors causes vasoconstriction.

When cold, there's vasoconstriction (increased sympathetic input) of arterioles to the skin.
--------------------------------
Parasympathetic effects: Plays only a minor role in regulation of the circulation Major circulatory effect is the control of heart rate by way of parasympathetic fibres carried to the heart in the vagus nerves. Principally, parasympathetic stimulation causes a marked decrease in heart rate (negative chronotropic effect) and a slight decrease in heart muscle contractility (negative inotropic effect Example: response to injury - vasodilation to the area (from decreasing sympathetic input to the area) allows greater blood flow and inflammation; brings in lymphocytes and macrophages, etc
