Equal pressure point lungs

[@ilsapo315]

Thank you a lot sir! Super precise explanation, without any logical leap. I wish all professors could explain this way!

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@HannaŠiljak]

Sir you just saved me from another Physiology-induced mental breakdown. I cannot thank you enough!

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

Point of clarity: The term transairway pressure is widely used to refer the pressure difference between the ends of airway(Mouth & Alveoli).( Ref: David and Joseph 2006 Respiratory critical care). But in this video the term is used to refer the pressure difference across the wall of the airways as used by some authors. (Ref: Medical Physiology 4/e by Rhoades and Bell Chapter 18. page 351). American Physiological society and American Thoracic Society recommends the use of the term Transmural pressure of Airways for describing pressure across wall of airways.

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

Glad to hear that!!

[@uzair9701]

Excellent video. It would be helpful if it was also explained why the increased resistance causes decreased pressure.

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

Increase in resistance would decrease the flow. If the flow is lesser then the pressure drop is greater. In other words pressure is lost in overcoming resistance. I hope that makes it clear.

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

You’re welcome

[@williamhellstrom1951]

I assume that the air empties more quickly in the 'sick' lung because of Bernoulli's law, which gives a drop in pressure too early?

[@capitalistcommie6846]

Great video sir

[@jayashreepangging3535]

Thank you sir ..nice explanation

[@DeepakYadav-qx1jr]

Loved the video sir ...,. Just one doubt .... Can u explain what happens in emphysema ?

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

In Emphysema there is destruction of alveolar wall resulting in decreased elasticity of lung. Smaller airways are kept patent by pulling of nearby alveolar wall. So, without support the airways becomes smaller and airway resistance increases!! Elasticity of alveolar wall is required for recoil during expiration. Loss of Elasticity result in decrease in expiration and overinflated alveoli.

I really appriciate to your effort... thank u sir for explaining this concept

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

Glad to hear!! Thanks for the feedback!!

[@cmnaveenmusic]

Amazing sir . And a doubt .Will atm pressure and intra alveolar pressure all equal? What's the role of pressure exerted by watervapour in airways? Does it tend do decrease the 760 mmhg?

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

Total air pressure can be same at two point with different constituents at each place. In the alveoli, let’s say the total air pressure is 760 mm Hg, it includes the 47 mmHg of water vapor( partial pressure)also. Partial pressure of other gases will slightly decrease because of dilution by water vapor. So total pressure (760) might remain same, but partial pressure of all gases will differ when comparing atmospheric and alveolar air.

[@cmnaveenmusic]

@@ThePhysiologyChannel thank you so much sir !!

[@cmnaveenmusic]

And also why the EPP is shifted in these patients sir ? In copd residual volume increases so that intrapleural increases than the normal. Is this the reason ?

[@darshanbachar1236]

Sir, why does equal pressure point drop to lower level in obstructive lung diseases.??

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

When the resistance to airflow increases, the pressure drop becomes steeper. Intra bronchial pressure drops because of higher resistance in obstructive lung diseases. As the pressure quickly decreases it becomes equal to intra pleural pressure at a lower point in the airways.

[@mazerunner1494]

Sir, why is RV TLC ratio increased in neuromuscular diseases of restrictive pathology? And why is RV TLC ratio normal in chest wall diseases like kyphoscoliosis(restrictive lung disease)? Pls clarify sir

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

The RV is determined by ability of expiratory muscles to compress the chest wall. In NM diseases with expiratory muscle weakness, lungs cannot be squeezed well, so RV is higher and RV/TLC is also higher!! In chest wall deformities the TLC is low because of the structural deformity but the RV is normal or decreased, since expiratory muscles function normally. So RV/TLC may be normal.

Sir.. Cant Pbr and Pip be equal at normal expiration ? Why only at forced expiration such condition exist ? Thank you

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

The equal point during normal expiration in healthy lungs lies within the supported airways with bone and cartilage! In cases of COPD, it falls in the bronchioles which is unsupported

What happens to the epp while the person experiences dyspnea?

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

Dyspnea is a symptom which happens in many diseases. The underlying pathology determines the EPP. In general, higher airway resistance, lower lung volumes and higher pressure outside the airways causes EPP move towards alveoli!

[@ThePhysiologyChannel]

Thanks Dinakaran

[@gupbernard]

Hey, I don't get why the drop on the airway pressure is steeper when there's obstruction, can somebody explain me that? Great video!

[@footyfandan]

Gustavo Bernard In COPD there is a loss of elastin in respiratory tissue so consequently for the same positive intrapleural pressure acting to compress the airway during a forced exhalation there is a lower alveolar pressure. In the video it was +14mmHg but it might be more like +12mmHg in COPD, for example. Therefore the equal pressure point occurs much lower in the respiratory tract. This wasn’t mentioned in the video but it’s an important point. In addition, the point made in the video was the increased resistance in the airway contributes to the steeper drop in airway pressure. Hope this helps!
