hypoxia | too little O2 |
hypercapnia | too much CO2 |
categories of problems from hypoxia | inadequate O2 to alveoli, prob O2 exchange between alveoli & pulm caps, inadequate transport O2 in blood |
Alveolar PO2 low because of | high altitude or hypoventilation |
relationship between altitude and PO2 | increase in altitude, decrease in PO2 |
anemic hypoxia | Hb with low O2(blood loss, anemia, CO poisoning) |
ischemic hypoxia | reduction in blood flow (heart failure,shock) |
histotoxic hypoxia | failure of cells to use O2 properly(cyanide poisoning) |
oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve | gives % Hb sites that have bound O2 at diff PO2 loading and unloading of O2x=resting cell y= % O2 sat of Hb |
causes shift to left on oxyhemoglobin curve | O2 not bound to Hb-O2 increased affinity of Hb for O2 |
causes shift to right on oxyhemoglobin curve | increase in CO2-decreased affinity of Hb for O2 |
3 ways CO2 transported in blood | HCO3, dissolved CO2(plasma, carbaminohemoglobin(binds to) |
equation in which CO2 converted into HCO3 | Co2 + H2O yields H2Co3 yeilds H + HCO3 |
enzyme that catalyzes CO2 conversion | carbonic anhydrase(CA) |
chloride shift | CO2 diffuses into RBC ain in Cl ion inside blood, shifts rxn right RBC become more + HCO3 diffuses into blood |
where reverse chloride shift occurs | alveoli |
relationship between CO2 and pH levels in blood | CO2 increases pH decreases-inverse relationship |
respiratory acidosis | increased CO2 retention-accum of carbonic acid & drop in pH |
respiratory alkalosis | too little CO2 increase in pH (hyperventilate) |
central chemoreceptors | medulla-CO2, PO2, pH- increases ventilation |
peripheal chemoreceptors | carotid/aortic bodies-PO2, pH, PCO2-increase ventilation |
respiratory center | located in medulla and pons (CNS) |
central chemoreceptors respond to increased PCO2 | increase PCO2=decreased pH of CSF receptors in medulla send messages to respiratory center medulla send signal via motor neurons to resp nucleus and ventilation increases |
