Study Notes
Respiration and Ventilation
- Respiration is the process of taking oxygen into the body and removing carbon dioxide.
Gas Exchange Efficiency
- The measure of gas exchange efficiency is called the respiratory exchange ratio (RER).
Anatomical Dead Space Volume
- The anatomical dead space volume is the volume of air that does not participate in gas exchange, approximately 150 mL in a healthy adult.
Hyperpnea
- Hyperpnea is a state of increased ventilation in response to increased oxygen demand, such as during exercise.
Ventilatory Drift
- Ventilatory drift is the gradual increase in ventilation over time during prolonged exercise, serving to compensate for the increasing acidity of the blood.
Factors Affecting Ventilation During Exercise
- Factors that affect ventilation during exercise include the intensity and duration of exercise, fitness level, and environmental conditions.
Tidal Volume
- Tidal volume is responsible for increasing ventilation during exercise to meet the increased oxygen demand.
Why We Don't Take a Big Breath Every Time
- We don't take a big breath every time because the brain regulates breathing to match the body's metabolic demands, and taking a big breath would be inefficient.
Triphasic Response
- The triphasic response is a three-phase response to exercise, consisting of an initial rapid increase in ventilation, a slow increase, and finally a plateau.
Minute Ventilation (VE)
- The formula for minute ventilation (VE) is VE = Respiratory Rate (RR) x Tidal Volume (VT).
Factors that Do Not Affect Hemoglobin Binding to Oxygen
- Temperature does not affect hemoglobin binding to oxygen.
Peripheral Chemoreceptors
- The primary function of peripheral chemoreceptors is to detect changes in arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide levels and send signals to the brain to adjust ventilation accordingly.
Central Chemoreceptors
- Central chemoreceptors are located in the brain and respond to changes in cerebrospinal fluid pH.
Alveolar Ventilation
- The formula for alveolar ventilation is VA = (VT x RR) - (VD x RR), where VA is alveolar ventilation, VT is tidal volume, RR is respiratory rate, and VD is anatomical dead space volume.
Bronchodilation
- The primary function of bronchodilation is to increase airflow into the lungs by relaxing airway smooth muscle.
Normal Blood pH at Rest
- The normal blood pH at rest is approximately 7.4.
Haldane Effect
- The primary function of the Haldane effect is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and lungs.
Bohr Effect
- The primary function of the Bohr effect is to facilitate the release of oxygen from hemoglobin to the tissues.
Source of H+ Ions in the Blood
- The primary source of H+ ions in the blood is the metabolism of glucose and other nutrients.
Bicarbonate Buffering System
- The primary function of the bicarbonate buffering system is to regulate blood pH by balancing the concentration of bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.
Ventilation During Exercise
- Ventilation increases during exercise to meet the increased oxygen demand, and the VD/VT ratio decreases.
Tidal Volume and VD/VT Ratio
- An increase in tidal volume causes a decrease in the VD/VT ratio.
A-a PO2 Difference During Exercise
- The A-a PO2 difference increases during incremental exercise due to the increased oxygen demand.
Alveolar Ventilation During Exercise
- Alveolar ventilation increases during incremental exercise to meet the increased oxygen demand.
Gradient for Oxygen into the Blood
- The gradient for oxygen into the blood increases at an intensity of approximately 60-70% of maximum exercise.
Venous Blood Saturation During Exercise
- Venous blood saturation decreases as workload increases during incremental exercise.
Oxygen Levels in Muscle During Exercise
- Oxygen levels in the muscle decrease as workload increases during incremental exercise.
Oxygen Extraction from Blood
- Oxygen extraction from blood increases as work rate increases during incremental exercise.
Exercise-Induced Arterial Hypoxemia (EIAH)
- Exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH) is a state of reduced arterial oxygen saturation during exercise, usually occurring at high intensities.
Severe Case of EIAH
- A severe case of EIAH is defined as an arterial oxygen saturation of less than 80%.
