Characteristic features of pulmonary arteries.

Capillary pressure of pulmonary circulation

99% of blood that flow to lungs is from

Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) value higher than 18 mmHg indicates decompensated heart failure.

Blood spends about ____ to traverse (travel across) capillaries in resting condition.

Decreased pressure of pulmonary artery (P_PA) will cause blood flow to

Increased pressure of alveolus (P_A) will cause blood flow to

This zone of pulmonary blood flow is defined as those areas of the lung where alveolar pressure exceeds that of the pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary venus pressure.

Anatomical position of this zone of pulmonary of blood flow is more than or equals to 10 cm above midlevel of heart.

Anatomical position of this zone of pulmonary of blood flow is below 10 cm from midlevel of heart.

Non-respiratory functions of pulmonary circulation.

Neural regulation of pulmonary blood flow that causes vasoconstriction is by stimulation of which receptor?

Neural regulation of pulmonary blood flow that causes vasodilation is by stimulation of which receptors?

Chemical regulation of pulmonary blood flow that leads to vasoconstriction of pulmonary veins and arteries.

Systemic hypoxia causes _____ of pulmonary artery.

Conditions causing pulmonary edema.

Causes of pleural effusion

This pulmonary circulation supplies systemic arterial blood to the trachea, the bronchial tree including the terminal bronchioles, the supporting tissues of the lung, and the outer coats (adventitia) of the pulmonary arteries and veins.

This pulmonary circulation supplies venous blood from all parts of the body to the alveolar capillaries where oxygen is added and carbon dioxide is removed.
