a decline in plasma pH and a rise in PaCO2 due to chronic bronchitis would indicate
Definition
respiratory acidosis
Term
The kidneys can raise plasma pH by
Definition
increasing secretion of H+ ions and increasing bicarbonate reabsorption
Term
the lungs follow the movements of the thoracic wall because
Definition
the surface tension of the pleural fluid in the pleural cavity
Term
holding one's breath causes
Definition
Pco2 to increase
Term
Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood primarily
Definition
as bicarbonate ion
Term
Afferent arteriole constricts, glomerular hydrostatic pressure
Definition
decrease
Term
lung compliance decreases, tidal volume
Definition
decrease
Term
bronchioles dilate, airway resistance
Definition
decrease
Term
glomerular hydrostatic pressure increases, net filtration
Definition
increase
Term
SMOKE CIGARETTES --> lung compliance
Definition
decrease
Term
diaphragm and external intercostals contract, atmospheric pressure
Definition
will not change
Term

NOT BLOOD CELLS
Term
MAP increases --- what keeps the GFR from also increasing
Definition
afferent arterioles reflexively constrict
Term
higher temperature + decreased pH in metabolizing tissues =
Definition
lead to a decreased hemoglobin-oxygen affinity
Term
3 main factors affecting pulmonary ventilation

Definition
intrapulmonary pressure must increase
Term
chemical influence on ventilation
Definition
PCO2
Term
pressure changes in inspiration
Definition
just before inspiration: intrapulmonary=atmospheric pressure (760)

intrapulmonary P < atm P

air flows until intrapulmonary P is 0
Term
pressure changes in expiration
Definition
intrapulmonary P = atm P
for air to flow out intrapulmonary P > atm P
Term

Term
residual volume
Definition
amount of air that remains in the lungs after a maximal exhalation
Term
vital capacity
Definition
maximum volume of air expelled after a maximum inhalation
Term
partial pressure
Definition
value of a gas in liquid determines how much of that gas is dissolved
Term
air is a mixture of
Definition
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon
Term
CO2 gas transport
Definition
dissolved in plasma
attached to hemoglobin
MOST transported as bicarbonate ions
