"What circulations does lung have?", "High-pressure lowflow circulation, and a low-pressure high flow circulation" "What does high pressure low flow circulation supply?", "It supplies systemic arterial blood to trachea, bronchial tree, supporting tissues of lung and outer coats (adventitia) of pulmonary arteries and veins" "Low pressure high flow-circulation supplies what?", "Venous blood from all parts of body to alveolar capillaries hwere oxygen is added and carbon dioxide is removed" "What does the pulmonary artery receive its blood from?", "From right ventricle (arterial branches carry blood to alveolar capillaries for gas exchange and pulmonary veins return blood to left atrium to be pumped by left ventricle through systemic circulation)" "What does the pulmonary artery divide into?", "Right and left main branches that supply blood to the two respective lungs" "Tell more about the pulmonary vessels?", "Pulmonary artery has a wall thickness one third that of aorta, pulmonary arterial branches are short and all pulmonary arteries have larger diameters than their counterpart systemic arteries" "What does pulmonary arterial tree have?", "A large compliance, averaging almost 7 ml/mm Hg, which is similar to that of entire systemic arterial tree" "What does the large compliance of pulmonary arterial tree allow?", "It allows the pulmonary arteries to accommodate the stroke volume output of right ventricle" "What about the pulmonary veins?", "They are like pulmonary arteries short, and empty their effluent blood into left atrium" "How does blood also flow to the lungs?", "Through small bronchial arteries that originate from systemic circulation (this bronchial arterial blood is oxygenaatd blood, in contract to partially deoxygenated blood in pulmonary arteries)" "Bronchial arterial blood supplies what?", "It supplies the supporting tissues of the lungs, including connective tissue, septa and large and small bronchi, and after it passes through supporting tissues, it empties into pulmonary veins and enter left atrium" "Where are lymph vessels present?", "In all supporitve tissues of the lung, beginning in the connective tissue spaces that surround the terminal bronchioles, coursing to the hilum of the lung, and then mainly into right thoracic lymph duct" "What is the systolic pressure in right ventricle of normal human?", "25 mm Hg" "What is the diastolic pressure averaging in normal human in right ventricle?", "About 0 to 1 mm Hg" "Whaat happens during systole?", "The pressure in the pulmonary artery is equal to pressure inr right ventricle (25 mm Hg)" "What happens after the pulmonary valve closes at end of systole?", "The ventricular pressure falls precipitously, whereas the pulmonary arterial pressure falls more slowly

through peripheral vein to right atrium, into one of small branches of pulmonar yartery, pushing catheter until it wedges tightly in the small branch)" "What is the wedge pressure about?", "5 mm Hg (this wedge pressure is usually only 2 to 3 mm Hg greater than elft atrial pressure) when left atrial pressure rises to higih values, the pulmonary wedge pressure also rises" "In what ways can wedge pressure be used?", "To study changes in pulmonary capillary pressure and left atrial pressure in patients with congestive heart failure" "What is the blood volume of lungs about?", "About 450

"Quantity of blood in lungs can vary, but what happens when blowing a trumpet?", "As muchas 250 milliliters of blood can be expelled from pulmonary circulatory system into systemic circulation, (also loss of blood from systemic circulation by hemorrhage can be partly compensated for by the automatic shift of blood from lungs into systemic vessels)" "What happens due to failure of left side of heart or increased resistance to blood flow through mitral valve due to mitral stenosis or mitral regurgitation?", "It causes blood to dam up in the pulmonary circulation, sometimes increasing the pulmonary blood volume as much as 100 percent % and causing large increases in pulmonary vascular pressures" "What is blood flow through the lungs?", "It is equal to cardiac output (therefore factors that control cardiac output such as peripheral factors also control pulmonary blood flow)" "What happens when concentration of O2 in air of alveoli decreases below normal?", "Adjacent blood vessels constrict, with vascular resistance increasing more than fivefold at extremely low O2 levels" "What about the standing position at rest?", "There is little flow in the top of lung, but about five times as much flow in the bottom, the lung is divided into three zones, and in each zone the patterns of blood flow are quite different" "What happens in zone 1 (no blood flow during all portions of cardiac cycle)?", "Because local alveolar capillary pressure in that area of lung never rises higher than the alveolar air pressure during any part of cardiac cycle" "What happens in zone 2 (intermittent blood flow)?", "Only during peaks of pulmonar yarterial rpessure because systolic pressure is then greater than alveolar air pressure, but diastolic pressure is less than alveolar air pressure" "What happens in zone 3 (continous blood flow)?", "Because the alveeolar capillary pressure remains greater than alveolar air pressure during entire cardiac cycle" "When does zone 1 blood flow occur?", "Only under abnormal conditions (when either pulmonary systolci arterial pressure is too low or alveolar pressure is too high to allow flow) , severe blood loss can be one cause" "What happens during exercise?", "Blood flow through all parts of lungs increases (because pulmonary vascular pressures rise enough during exercise to convert lung apices from a zone 2 pattern into a zone 3 pattern of flow)" "During heavy exercise, blood flow through lungs may increase fourfold to sevenfold, this extra flow is accommodated in lungs in what three ways?", "1) increasing number of open capillaries 2) distending all capillaries and increasing rate of flow through each capillary more than twofold 3) increasing pulmonary arterial rpessure" "Left atrial pressure in healthy person never rises what?", "About +6 mm Hg" "When can the left atrial rpessure rise from 1 to 5 mm Hg all the way up to 40 to 50 mm Hg?", "When the left side of heart fails, blood begins to dam up in left atrium,

pressure above 7 or 8 mm Hg increases what?", "Increases capillary pressure almost equally as much and above 30 mm Hg causing increases in capillaruy pressure and pulmonary edema will develop" "What are alveolar walls lined with?", "With many capillaries, so that many capillaries almost touch one another side by side, therefore it is often said that the capillary blood flows in the alveolar walls as a sheet of flow, rather than in individual capillaries" "What can measure pulmonary capillary pressure?", "Isogravimetric measurement of pulmonary capillary pressure, giving a value of 7 mm Hg (this value is probably correct because mean left atrial pressure is about 2 mm Hg and mean pulmonary arteril pressure is only 15 mm Hg, so that is the mean value)" "What happens when cardiac output

that it can be ruptured by positvie pressure in intertitial spaces grater than alveolar air pressure" "What does the mean filtration rpessure +1 mm Hg tell us?", "This filtration pressure causes a slight continual flow of fluid from pulmonary capillaries into interstitial spaces and, except for a small amount that evaporates in alveoli, this fluid is pumped back to circulation through pulmonary lymphatic system" "What keeps the alveoli from filling with fluid under normal conditions?", "Whenever extra fluid appears in alveoli, it will simply be sucked into the lung interstitum through small openings between alveolar epithelial cells, the excess fluid is then carried away through pulmonary lympahtics keeping the alveoli dry" "What is causing pulmonary edema?", "Left sided heart failure or mitral valve disease OR 2) damage to pulmonary blood capillary membranes by infectiosn such as pneumonia or noxious substances causing leakage of plasma proteins and fluid out of capillaries and into both lung interstitial spaces and alveoli" "Pulmonary capillary pressure must do what in order to cause pulmonary edema?", "Pulmonary capillary pressure must rise from normal level of 7 mm Hg to more than 28 mm Hg to cause pulmonary edema, giving an acute safety factor agianst pulmonary edema of 21 mm Hg" "Total amount of fluid in each pleural cavity is what?", "ONLY a few milliliters, and when

the tissues and can be called edema of pleural cavity" "Which are the causes of pleural effusion?", "They are the same as the causes of edema in other tissues including 1) blockage of lymphatic rainage from pleural cavity 2) cardiac failure 3) greatly reduced plasma colloid osmotic pressure 4) infection or any other cause of inflammation of the surfaces of pleural cavity, which increases
