Term
Equation for minute ventilation
Definition

V(dot)E = VT x n

 

minute ventilation = tidal volume x respiratory rate

Term
Equation for dead space ventilation
Definition
dead space ventilation = minute ventilation - alveolar ventilation
Term
equation for alveolar ventilation
Definition
alveolar ventilation = minute ventilation - dead space ventilation
Term

Define as relates to spirogram:

 VT

IRV

ERV

RV

TLC

VC

IC

FRC

Definition

VT=tidal volume, amount of gas in/expired in normal cycle

IRV = inspir. reserve volume, how much extra air you can inspire

ERV=expir. reserve volume, how much xtra air u can expire

RV = reserve volume, air you cant breathe out

TLC = total lung capactity, all air inculding RV

VC = vital capacity, all air w/o RV

IC = Inspir. capacity, amount u can inspir starting w/FRC

FRC = Functional residual capacity, how much air normally on reserve

Term

Effect of cholinergic stimulation on respiratory muscle

 

Receptor subtype?

Definition

bronchoconstriction

 

muscarinic

 

Term

effect of adrengeric stimulation on resp muscle

 

receptor?

Definition

bronchodilation

 

B2 - adrenergic receptors

Term

Effects on obstructive lung disease:

 

TLC

 

FRC

 

RV

Definition
All increased because residual volume has increased. Ppl with obstructive lung diseases have trouble breathing out
Term

Effects on obstructive lung diease:

 

FVC

 

FEV1

 

FEV1/FVC

Definition

All decreased.

FVC  = forced vital capacity, FEV1 = forced exipratory volume

Ppl with obstructive disease have a lower FVC and FEV because they have trouble breathing out rapidly

Term

Effects on obstructive lung disease:

 

lung compliance

 

airway resistance

Definition

normal in bronchitis, increased in emphysema because of the destruction of parenchyma

 

increased resistance

Term

effects on restrictive disease:

 

TLC

 

FRC

 

RV

Definition
All decreased
Term

Effects of resrictive disease on:

 

FVC

 

FEV1

 

FVC/FEV1

Definition
Decreased but ratio increased because ppl with restrictive disease have an easy time breathing out
Term

Effects of restrictive disease on:

 

lung compliance

 

airway resistance

Definition
both decreased
Term

Result of diaphram and external intercostal contraction

 

When do they contract

Definition

diaphram contracts downward increasing vertical dimension of thoracic cavity. Active during inspiration

 

External intercostals elevate lower ribs up and out. Play secondary role during active inspiration

Term

Scalene/sternocleidomastoid and muscles of upper respiratory tract:

 

What happens during contraction?

 

When does contraction occur?

Definition

S/S - raise sternum and elevate ribs, enlarge upper thoracic cavity. Only active during forced inspiration

 

Upper tract muscles - reduce airflow resistance, only active during forced inspiration

Term

abdominal muscles and internal intercostals:

 

what happens during contraction?

 

when does contraction occur?

 

 

Definition

ab muscles - increase intra abdominal pressue, exerts force on diaphram to expel air. Only active during forced expiration

 

internal intercostals - flatten thorax, pull ribs down and in. Only active during forced expiration

Term

contraction of muscles of inspiration (increase/decrease)

 

intrathoraic volume

 

intrapleural pressure

 

intrapulmonary pressure

 

transpulmonary pressure

 

 

Definition

increases

 

decreases
