Control of breathing Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards
Flashcard 1: When supplemental oxygen is administered to a patient with chronic COPD, the rapid increase in PaO2 can reduce _____ stimulation
Answer: peripheral chemoreceptor
Flashcard 2: Peripheral chemoreceptors ALSO respond to increases in _____
Answer: Pco2
Flashcard 3: Lung stretch receptors cause a(n) _____ breathing frequency in response to distention of the lungs (Hering-Breuer reflex)
Answer: decreased
Flashcard 4: The _____ respiratory center is located in the reticular formation and contains an inspiratory and expiratory center
Answer: medullary
Flashcard 5: _____ receptors are located in the alveolar walls and cause rapid, shallow breathing in response to pulmonary capillary engorgement (e.g. left heart failure)
Answer: Juxtacapillary (J)
Flashcard 6: In response to decreased Pao2 (e.g. high altitude), there is _____ ventilation
Answer: increased
Flashcard 7: The dorsal respiratory group sends its motor output to the diaphragm via the _____ nerve
Answer: phrenic
Flashcard 8: How does hyperventilation affect ICP?
Answer: low PCO2 leads to less cerebral blood flow, reducing ICP
Flashcard 9: In what situations is hyperventilation therapuetic?
Answer: increased ICP
Flashcard 10: What type of cytoskeletal element is most associated with flagella?
Answer: microtubules
