13400097281Functions of the respiratory system1. gas exchange 2. acid-base balance 3. speech and vocalization 4. sense of smell 5. breathing helps circulate blood and lymph0
13405272183meaning1. ventilation of lungs 2. exchange of gasses between air, blood, and tissues 3. cellular respiration (generation of ATP)`1
13405469064lung pressurehappens due to pressure gradient - pressure in atmosphere (760 mm Hg) - intrapulm pressure 760 - intrapleural press 756 >>intrapleural2
13414492288Inspiration-lungs inflate due to diaphragm contraction - pleural cavities and lungs increase in volume = decrease in P - air flows from H->L pressure (into lungs)3
13414674978expiration-passive - caused by elastic recoil - relax all that stretched to inhale - forced = abdominal contraction4
13414712131tidal ventilation- vital capacity - tidal volume - inspiratory reserve V - Expiratory reserve V5
13414750031anatomical dead spaceairways in which gas exchange cannot occur > increase by dilating bronchioles (sympathetic) > decrease by constricting (para)6
13414784512atmospheric Vs Alveolar pressure vs blood N2Atmosphere: 597 / 78.6% Alv: 5697
13414821275atmospheric Vs Alveolar pressure vs blood O2atmosphere: 159 (20.8%) alv: 104 Blood: 40 leaving lungs: 95 entering < leaving8
13414854795atmospheric Vs Alveolar pressure vs blood CO2`atmosphere: 0.3 (0.04%) alv: 40 blood entering lungs: 46 leaving: 40 (entering>leaving=alveolar)>atmo9
13414956083factors that affect diffusion rates1. pressure gradients 2. solubility 3. membrane thickness 4. membrane area (increase surface area = inc diff) 5. ventilation-perfusion coupling (resp rate = blood flow to lungs) >>increase resp rate= increase pO2 of BVs, pulm vessels dilate, increases bf (opposite of skeletal muscles)10
13415094925how does blood carry O21.5% in plasma 98.5% binds to Hemoglobin (Hb) *up to 4 per molecule* -binds iron atom of heme group to produce oxyhemoglobin (HbO2)11
13415118571oxyhemoglobin dissociation curvecooperative binding of oxygen to hemoglobin (easier and easier to add O2 until 4th) A. @ peak, hemoglobins in alveoli are 100% saturated w O2 B. pO2 40= 3O2 on Hb12
13415267857factors that shift the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve1. low pO2= shift left 2. increase in temp = shift right 3. bohr effect (drop in pH) = shift right >>CO2 leads ro release of H which compete w O2 for binding of Hb 4. bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) - anaerobic metabolism in RBC product - increased levels shifts right - increase happens at high altitudes13
13415189790how does blood carry CO2- 70% reacts with water to produce *carbonic acid* , dissociates into carbonate (HCO3) > rxn is catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase = shift to right - 23% binds to plasma proteins - 7% carried as dissolved gas >>doesn't compete with oxygen because doesn't BIND to Hb14
13415383857physiological vs evolut adaptations to high altitudesPhys: BPG Evol : 1. increase15
13415422633carbonic anhydrase and O2 and CO2 transport (CO2 loading)- promotes rxn of Co2 and water to produce H+ - H binds to HbO2 to shift equilibrium right - H competes w O2 and pushes off Hb = *deoxyhemoglobin*16
13415462032Haladane effectthe dissociation of O2 from Hb allows more CO2 to combine with Hb -O2 diffuses out of RBC - less O2 = more protons (H+) - shifts rxn right17
13415476894oxygen unloading- H+ attaches to HbO2 and reduces affinity for O2 -shifts curve right - O2 diff out of cap18
13415513822O2 delivery and metabolic needs- Low pH = acidosis, hyperventilation to increase O2 - high pH = alkalosis, inhibit respiration to decrease O2 saturation (para)19
13415547275Tibetan Adaptation to Low Oxygen- hemoglobin = sea level - O2 SAT= Decreased20
13483948309andean adaptation to high altitudes-Hb= elevated - O2 sat = decreased (higher than tibetan)21
13483948310ethiopian adaptation to high altitudes- Hb = same as sea - O2 sat = same as sea22
13483948311Ethiopian results- increased conductance of O2 from lungs to blood - increased Hb affinity for O2 (mutant hb) - breathe more to get rid of more CO2 and gain O2 -increase diff of O2 from alv to blood23
