  • 1 Respiration

    This is a preview. There are 33 more flashcards available for chapter 1

  • Atmospheric pressure (Patm)

    - Varies at height
    - All other pressures are relative to this pressure  
  • Intrapleural pressure (Pip)

    - pressure in intraplural space
    - always negative value  
  • Local high CO2 concentration

    - causes dilation
  • Minute ventilation (Ve)

    - the total amount of air inspired/expired in a minute (Vt*RR) 
    - RR=respiration rate
  • Alveolar ventilation (Va)

    - the amount of fresh air reaching alveoli every minute 
    - Va=(Vt*RR)
  • 2 Gas exchange and respiratory regulation

  • Partial presssure of CO2 in systemic capillaries

    - are the same as when it left the lung
  • Mixed venous blood

    - When different veins return in the atrium they therefore are mixed
    - Thus, blood in the pulmonary artery is called mixed venous blood 
  • Po2 and Pco2 in alveoli

    - is affected by
    • partial pressures of inspired air (dependent on altitude)
    • minute alveolar ventilation
    • consumption O2
    • production CO2 
  • Hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve

    - O2 binding depends on surrounding Po2
    - High Po2 facilitates binding
    - Low Po2 facilitates release
    - The curve has a S-shape because of the binding-ability of O2 depends on already bound O2
    - As O2 is bound -> affinity increases
  • PH (Bohr effect) hemoglobin

    - As O2 binds to hemoglobin -> amino acids release H+ -> decrease PH -> decrease affinity
