Cardiac Cycle: Blood Ejection and Ventricular Relaxation

  • Left ventricle always fills with 50 ml of blood
  • Left ventricle fills with 120 ml of blood during contraction
  • Pressure in the left ventricle increases to 80 mmHg during contraction
  • Iotic valve opens when pressure reaches 80 mmHg

Cardiac Cycle: Pressure, Flow, and Regulation

  • Left ventricle contracts, leading to increased blood flow into the aorta and arteries, causing pressure to rise.
  • During rapid ejection phase, more blood enters, further increasing pressure.
  • In slow ejection phase, less blood flows, resulting in decreased pressure.
  • The aortic wall closes after slow ejection phase, causing pressure to drop.
  • The aorta squeezes to push blood forward, briefly increasing pressure.
  • The pressure wave resembles a pulse, with pressure fluctuating.
  • The dicrotic notch occurs when the aortic wall closes, increasing pressure due to elastic recoil.
  • Closure of the aortic valve causes the second heart sound, A2.

"Surfactant, Lung Function, and Gas Exchange"

  • Surfactant in the alveoli is a lipoprotein consisting of 90% lipid and 10% protein, with the major lipid being lecithin and the minor lipid being sphingomyelin.
  • Fetal lung maturity is indicated by a lecithin-to-sphingomyelin ratio greater than two, with surfactant produced by type two pneumocytes in the alveoli.
  • Surfactant acts as a protector by decreasing surface tension in the lungs, preventing collapse and maintaining lung shape.
  • Surfactant production begins around 20 to 24 weeks of gestation, appearing in amniotic fluid by 28 to 32 weeks, with insufficient surfactant leading to hyaline membrane disease or neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.
  • Compliance refers to the stretchability or distension capacity of the lungs, while elastance is the ability to recoil back to the original shape, with compliance and elastance being inversely related.
  • Blood flow and ventilation differ in the lung lobes, with more blood perfusion in the base and more ventilation in the base as well, affecting the ventilation-perfusion ratio.
  • Ventilation involves four liters of air per minute into the lungs, while perfusion sends five liters of blood per minute, resulting in a ventilation-perfusion ratio of 0.8 in normal conditions.
  • Pathological conditions like pulmonary embolism or foreign body obstruction can alter the ventilation-perfusion ratio, with specific values changing in different lung regions.
  • The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve can shift left or right in response to exercise or resting conditions, affecting the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen delivery to tissues.
  • Oxygen is transported mainly as oxyhemoglobin, with 97% bound to hemoglobin and 3% dissolved in plasma, while carbon dioxide is transported as bicarbonates in plasma from tissues to the lungs.

Understanding Hypoxia and Renal Physiology in Health

  • Stagnant hypoxia occurs in cardiogenic shock when the heart is not functioning properly, leading to oxygen not reaching tissues.
  • Cyanide poisoning inhibits complex number four in the electron transport chain, preventing oxygen utilization and water production, causing histotoxic hypoxia.
  • Four types of hypoxia include hypoxic, anemic, carbon monoxide poisoning, stagnant hypoxia in cardiogenic shock, and histotoxic hypoxia from cyanide poisoning.
  • Chemo receptors monitor oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body, with peripheral chemo receptors in the aortic arch and carotid sinus checking oxygen levels, and central chemo receptors in the brain monitoring carbon dioxide levels.
  • In high altitudes, increased ventilation and perfusion occur to compensate for decreased oxygen levels, leading to respiratory alkalosis and increased erythropoietin production in the kidneys.
  • Biot breathing, characterized by hyper apnea followed by apnea, is seen in spinal meningitis patients, while Kussmaul breathing, involving hyperventilation, is observed in conditions like diabetic ketoacidosis.
  • Cheyne-Stokes breathing, with gradual hyper apnea followed by hypo apnea and apnea, is seen in brain tumor patients.
  • Renal physiology includes renal blood flow of 1 to 1.2 liters per minute, with 625 ml of plasma flow and 125 ml of glomerular filtration rate per minute.
  • The glomerular filtration barrier consists of endothelial cells, glomerular basement membrane, and podocytes, with the membrane having a negative charge.
  • Nephron components include Bowman's capsule, proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbing water, descending limb concentrating urine, ascending limb reabsorbing solutes, and distal convoluted tubule reabsorbing sodium and chlorine through the sodium chloride cotransporter.
