Study Notes
Respiratory System and Gas Exchange
- Total Lung Capacity (TLC) is 4L, determined by Vital Capacity (VC) and Residual Volume (RV).
- Minute ventilation is the total amount of air inspired per minute, calculated as Tidal Volume x Respiratory Rate.
- Anatomical dead space is typically 150ml, affecting alveolar ventilation.
- Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) assesses pulmonary function, with >80% indicating healthy lungs.
- Acid-base disorders can result from insufficient or excess breathing, leading to respiratory acidosis or alkalosis.
- Restrictive lung diseases result in TLC < 80% of normal, seen in respiratory distress syndromes and pulmonary fibrosis.
- Obstructive and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) reduce forced vital capacity (FVC), seen in asthma, cystic fibrosis, emphysema, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
- Lung cancer, emphysema, and bronchitis are often due to smoking.
- The circulatory system delivers oxygen to tissues and removes carbon dioxide.
- Partial pressures drive the diffusion of gases across alveolar membranes, with O2 and CO2 diffusing rapidly down their gradients.
- Adult hemoglobin has 4 protein subunits and carries oxygen to tissues, with O2 pick-up in the lungs and O2 release to cells in tissues.
- Myoglobin, with high O2 affinity, stores oxygen for muscle use during anaerobic metabolism.
