Physiology of Respiration Part IV Prof. Dušan M. Mitrović, M.D., Ph.D Blood flow and Metabolism How the pulmonary Circulation Removes Gas From the Lung and Alters Some Metabolites Systemic and Pulmonary Circulation Pressures Around Pulmonary Blood Vessels Note: around alveaolar vessels pressure is alveolar The pressure difference between the isside and outside of the capillaries is called transmural pressure Many alveoli and an extra-alveolar vessel with its perivascular sheet Pulmonary Vascular Resistance Vascular resistance = input pressure – output pressure blood flow Fall in pulmonary vascular resistance as the pulmonary arterial or venous pressure is raised. There are two mechanisms for the decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance that occurs as vascular pressures are raised opening previously closed vessels increase in caliber of vessels Effects of lung volume on pulmonary vascular resistance when the transmural pressure of capillaries is held constant At low lung volumes, resistance is high because the extraalveolar vessels become narrow. At high volumes, the capillaries are stretched, and their caliber is reduced. Assesment of the pulmonary blood flow Measurements of capillary blood flow by recording nitrous oxide uptake in body plethysmograph Distribution of Blood Flow Measurement of the distribution of blood flow in the upright human lung with radioactive xenon Disolved xenon is envolved into alveolar gas from pulmonaru capilaries Regional perfusion and gravity PPA blood pressure in the pulmonary artery PPV blood pressure in pulmonary vein Ppc pericapillary pressure PL,is interstitial pressure in the lung tissue Qc capillary blood flow The Starling resistors Rubber tube When chamber pressure exceeds downstream pressure (A), flow is independent of downstream pressure. When downstream pressure exceeds chamber pressure (B), flow is idetermined by The upstream-downstream pressure difference.
