Clinical Medicine: Pulmonary Pathophysiology I

1

The respiratory tract is composed of these types of cells:

1

In respiration, the ( sympathetic, parasympathetic ) nervous system uses ( adrenergic, cholinergic ) neurons and ( B2, muscarinic ) receptors to dilate the airways; and the ( parasympathetic, sympathetic ) nervous system uses ( cholinergic, adrenergic ) neurons and ( muscarinic, B2 ) receptors to constrict the airways.

1

( Type 1 Pneumocytes, Type 2 Pneumocytes ) in the alveoli allow for the diffusion of gases. ( Type 2 Pneumocytes, Type 1 Pneumocytes ) produce ( surfactant, macrophages, glucosamine ) to reduce surface tension. ( Alveolar macrophages, Alveolar mast cells, Aveolar goblet cells ) remove dust.

1

Internal and external intercostal muscles are not used for inspiration during normal quiet breathing.

1

The ( diaphragm, intercostal m. ) is the prime mover of respiration, contracting it ( enlarges the thoracic cavity, decreases the thoracic cavity ), causing ( inspiration, expiration ); whereas relaxing it causes ( expiration, inspiration ). This accounts for about ( 2/3, 1/2, 1/3 ) of airflow.

1

Expiration is normally passive, caused by the elastic recoil of distended alveoli.

Obstructive pulmonary disease may be caused by:
(choose all that apply)

Which of the following, while rare, may be the cause COPD (emphysema) symptoms in younger, non-smoking adults.

Restrictive Pulmonary Disease is caused by:

1

Restrictive pulmonary diseases may encompass which of the following diseases/disorders: (check all that apply)

1

Which of the following may cause both restrictive and obstructive pulmonary disorders?

1

Restrictive pulmonary disease, causing the gradual replacement of normal lung tissue with fibrotic tissue, results in ( increased, decreased ) elastic recoil, ( decreased, increased ) lung compliance, and ( decreased, increased ) lung volumes.

1

Which of the following may be true regarding forced expiratory volumes in the case of restrictive lung disease?

1

All lung volumes are reduced (including TLC, FRC, and RV) in restrictive lung disease, but their relative proportions to each other are more or less preserved.

1

Which of the following are TRUE for Restrictive lung diseases:

1

Which of the following statements is/are true:

1

Which of the following is the greatest factor influencing lung recoil?

1

Surfactant ( increases, decreases, has no affect on ) lung compliance and ( decreases, increases ) lung recoil by ( lowering, increasing ) surface tension in the alveoli.

1

During what week span does surfactant appear in a developing fetus?

1

Increased lung recoil (high rebound) and decreased compliance (difficult to stretch) requires ( more negative, less negative ) intrapleural pressure to inflate the lung.

1

When abnormally high negative interpleural pressure is required to maintain lung volumes (e.g. atelectasis) this may result in:

1

Which of the following may cause surfactant to become non-functional in maturity?
(select all that apply)

1

In regards to the fluid dynamics of respiration, which of the following could result in increased interstitial fluid and thus pulmonary edema? (check all that apply)

1

Which of the following conditions may cause pulmonary edema?

1

Which of the following might be used to treat pulmonary edema?

1

The partial pressures of ventilatory gases in the alveoli are identical to that of the systemic arterial blood.

1

The ratio of ventilation (air flow) to perfusion (blood flow) need to match for maximum gas exchange.
