Cards

Term
Diffusion Rate
Definition
surface area (x) concentration gradient (x) membrane permability / membrane thickness
Term
surface area
Definition
constant
Term
membrane thickness
Definition
constant
Term
diffusion distance
Definition
constant
Term
diffusion rate is proportional to
Definition
the concentration gradient
Term
partial pressure of oxygen
Definition
higher in arteries
Term
partial pressure of carbon dioxide
Definition
higher in veins
Term
oxygen in blood is indirectly proportional
Definition
to pH
Term
hypoxia
Definition
not enough oxygen to the tissues
Term
hypoxic hypoxia
Definition
partial pressure of oxygen in blood gets lower
Term
Anemic Hypoxia
Definition

cannot create enough hemoglobin

decreased amount of oxygen

Term
ischemic hypoxia
Definition
reduced blood flow
Term
Histotoxic hypoxia
Definition
cells cannot use oxygen because they have been poisoned
Term
low alveolar pressure of oxygen cause
Definition

low oxygen in the atmosphere

not enough exchange in the lungs

Term
emphysema
Definition

destruction of alveoli

reduces surface area for gas exchange

Term
fibrotic lung disease
Definition

thickened alveolar membrane

slows gas exchange

loss of lung compliance may decrease alveolar ventilation

Term
pulmonary edema
Definition

fluid in interstitial space

increases diffusion distance

aterial pressure of carbon dioxide may be normal due to higher carbon dioxide soluability in water

Term
asthma
Definition

increased airway resistance

decreases air ventilation

due to constriction of bronchioles

Term
oxygen diffuses over
Definition
alveolar endothelial cells and capillary endothelial cells to enter the plasma
Term
hemoglobin
Definition

made of four protein globan chains

2 beta

2 alpha

heme group in the middle

Term
heme group
Definition
consists of porphryn ring with an iron atom in the center
Term
lower pH
Definition
less ability to hold oxygen
Term
higher temp
Definition
less ability to hold oxygen
Term
higher pressure of carbon dioxide
Definition
less ability to hold oxygen
Term
pressure of carbon dioxide
Definition
drives respiratory rate stronger because it has the abilty to change the pH
Term
fetal hemoglobin
Definition
has 2 gamma chains therfore can hold on to oxygen better than maternal hemoglobin
Term
Carbon dioxide
Definition

7% carried in plasma

70% converted to bicarbonate

23% bound to hemoglobin

Term
ventilation
Definition

respiratory control system regulates what we breath

needs sensory input

Term
sensory input
Definition

info impacts medulla/brain stem

which influences respiratory groups

which influences skeletal muscle

Term

oxygen up

carbon dioxide down

Definition
respiratory rate will decrease
Term

oxygen down

carbon dioxide up

Definition
respiratory rate will increase
Term
pH is inversely related to
Definition
respiratory rate
Term
skeletal muscles of ventilation
Definition

intercostal

diaphram

neck

abdominal
