High altitude adaptation Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards
Flashcard 1: In response to high altitude, there is a chronic _____ in ventilation
Answer: increase
Flashcard 2: How do levels of PCO2 change during pregnancy?_____
Answer: Decreased (due to increased minute ventilation)
Flashcard 3: Increased lung volumes result in _____ pulmonary vascular resistance
Answer: increased
Flashcard 4: During expiration, decreased lung volumes result in an _____ in extra-alveolar vessel resistance
Answer: increase

Answer: trapping
Flashcard 6: In response to decreased Pao2 (e.g. high altitude), there is _____ ventilation
Answer: increased
Flashcard 7: How does hyperventilation affect ICP?
Answer: low PCO2 leads to less cerebral blood flow, reducing ICP
