Homework # 4

The factors that would cause the lung to collapse are elastic recoil and high surface tension. And the factors that prevent the lungs from collapse are negative intrapulmonary pressure and surfactant.
During expiration : volume increase and pressure decrease
During inspiration : volume decrease and pressure increase
The role of surfactant is to decrease surface tension by more than 40 times.
And it's effect on surface tension is to prevent them from PO2 in alveolar : 104
PO2 in venous blood : 40
PO2 in atmosphere : 160
PO2 in arterial : 100
PO2 in expired : 120
PO2 in inspired : 160
Co2 is 20 times more soluble in water than oxygen
Anatomical dead space : the section where there is no gas

Low compliance : pulmonary edema and cystic fibrosis
High compliance : emphysema : where a person can get air in and can't get it out
O2-Hb dissociation curve:when the curve mov to the right there is less saturation of hemoglobin . When is shift to the left less oxygen release more oxygen bound to hemoglobin.
Situations that would cause more o2 to release are high temperature, low PH , exercise , high co2.
Way O2 are transport: hemoglobin and plasma
Way CO2 are transport : plasma , bicarbonate ion , and carbamino-compounds
Chloride shift : exchange of bicarbonate for chloride across the red blood cell
The role of the phrenic nerve : excite the diaphragm and intercostal muscles , causing breathing movements.
Anatomy respiratory membrane: a simple layer of squamous epithelial of alveolus and a simple layer of squamous epithelial of the capillary very thin, together the alveolar and capillary walls and their fused basement membranes form the respiratory membrane.
Increase in thickness of the respiratory membrane would decrease gas exchange or imputed gas

Efferent vasoconstriction: blood flow increase , blood pressure increase and GFR increase.
The role of renin is to cut angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1 and it's secreted when there is sense of low blood pressure.
Everything that are reabsorbed back into the blood has tubular maximum and you exceed the T max , the exceed remind in the urine.
The major hormones that regulates potassium secretion is aldosterone
Acidosis: PH under 7.35
Alkalosis: PH over 7.45
PH: measures free hydrogen ions range from 0 to 14 there is an inverse relationship between hydrogen ions and PH as hydrogen ion goes up PH went down
Three majors ways to buffeting urine : chemical buffer system, bicarbonate buffer system and protein buffer system.
Hypoventilation : PH went down
Hyperventilation : PH goes up
ECF: fluid inside the cell
ICF : fluid outside the cell
More sodium ECF than ICF
More potassium ICF than ECF
Countercurrent system: fluid flowing in parallel tubes in opposite

    What will happen to the urine volume and concentration as the solute gradient (concentration) in the interstitial space is increased? Explain!!! (3 points)  It increases because ADH causes water to move out of urine and the more solute there is the more concentrated the urine. 16. Speculate on ways that desert rats are able to concentrate their urine significantly more than humans? (Think: Hormones) (2 points)  They probably produce more ADH to get all the water possible from the urine as there is not a lot of water in the desert. 17. What would be a reasonable mechanism for diuretics? (2 points)  They act by diminishing sodium reabsorption at different sites in the nephron, thereby increasing urinary sodium and water loss. 18. What will happen to the glucose concentration in the urinary bladder as glucose carriers are added to the proximal tubule? Explain!!! (2 points)  Glucose concentration in the urine decreased because the carriers were able to get the glucose across. 19. Predict what will happen to the urine volume (compared to normal) when aldosterone is added to the distal tubule. Explain!!! (2 points)…

    Shift to the right: decreased hemoglobin affinity for oxygen exists; therefore oxygen is more readily released to the tissues. Can be caused by acidemia, increased temperature, anemia, chronic hypoxemia, and low cardiac output states. When conditions exist where the curve has shifted to the right, the PaO2 is higher than expected at the normal curve.…

    Abnormal permanent enlargement of lung spaces distal to terminal bronchioles accompanied by destruction of walls without obvious fibrosis. This leads to decline in alveolar surface area available for gas exchange. Loss of alveoli leads to airflow limitation in 2 ways: first, loss of the alvoelar walls results in a decrease in elastic recoil (leads to airflow limitation). Second, loss of the alveolar supporting structure leads to airway narrowing, which further limits airflow.…

    This positon allows for increased thoracic capacity, full descent of diaphragm, and increased lung expansion while preventing the abdominal contents from crowding (Ackley, 2011). Continuously monitoring the patients position so they do not slump forward causing the abdomen to compress the diaphragm and limit full lung expansion. Another nursing intervention is to maintain an oxygen administration device as ordered, the goal is to keep the patient at an oxygen saturation level of 90% or greater. It’s imperative to avoid a high concentration of oxygen in patients with COPD because hypoxia stimulates the drive to breathe in patients that constantly retain carbon dioxide, creating an air hunger reaction (Ackley, 2011). It is important to pace the activities and schedule rest periods to prevent fatigue. Activities will increase oxygen consumption and planning the time will help the patient avoid becoming hypoxic. For acute patients, consider the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation. Providing early intubation is recommended to prevent full decompensation of the patient while mechanical ventilation will maintain adequate oxygenation and ventilation. Also of important note, instructing the patient and family the importance of limiting exposure to persons with respiratory infections (Ackley,…
