    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.
