gRenin‐angiotensin system. The lungs play a central role in control of systemic blood pressure because of the converting enzyme on the luminal aspect of pulmonary capillary endothelium. Strategic disposition of the enzyme and huge expanse of pulmonary capillary endothelium enable rapid and efficient conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II as blood courses through the lungs.

Dashed curves, sum of the mean pressure plus pressure oscillations propagated from right ventricle (arterial pulse). Solid curves include contribution of oscillatory part of left atrial pressure (venous pulse) and represent total (mean + arterial pulse + venous pulse) pressure at each location. Right: corresponding curves for flow. In contrast to left panel, for which top and bottom curves were determined experimentally, all curves in right panel were computed.

Principle of a Starling resistor. Thin‐walled collapsible tube traverses a closed chamber (A) in which pressure can be varied at will. Fluid flows from reservoir (R) into collecting vessel (striped area), traversing collapsible tube en route. When outflow pressure exceeds chamber pressure (left), flow is determined by difference between inflow and outflow pressure. However, when chamber pressure exceeds outflow pressure, so that collapsible tube closes (arrow), flow is determined by difference between inflow and chamber pressure.

Figure 9.

Topographical distribution of pulmonary blood flow according to relationship among pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa), pulmonary venous pressure (Ppv), and alveolar pressure (PA). Because of effect of surface tension, PA is more accurately pericapillary pressure. Zone 1 (apex): PA > Ppa > Ppv. No flow (except through corner vessels) because collapsible vessels close when pericapillary pressure exceeds the pressure inside the vessels. Vessels that close are capillaries and other alveolar vessels up to ∼30 μm diam. Zone 2: Ppa > PA > Ppv. Driving pressure is Ppa — PA. This difference increases down lung and so does flow. Zone 3: Ppa > Ppv > PA. Driving pressure is Ppa — Ppv. Although Ppa — Ppv does not change down lung, Ppa and Ppv continue to increase from top to bottom. Flow down zone 3 is less than zone 2. Zone 4 (appears at residual volume): this region of decreased flow appears during forced exhalation and has been attributed to either an increase in interstitial pressure at lung bases or to closure of small airways at low lung volumes as the increase in PA creates either zone 1 or zone 2 conditions.

Alveolar, corner, and extra‐alveolar vessels. A: large extra‐alveolar artery (A) showing its muscle layer surrounded by a loose connective tissue sheath. Alveolar septa, inserted radially, presumably exert a radial outward pull that is responsible for dilation of these vessels as the lung is inflated. Lung parenchyma is characteristic of zone 2. a, Bundles of capillaries (corner vessels); b, flat septa containing open but smoothened, slitlike capillaries; c, septa containing completely closed (derecruited) capillaries. Normal rabbit lung fixed under zone 2 conditions by vascular perfusion of OsO4 into the pulmonary artery. After 2 full inflations, peak arterial pressure = 11-12 mmHg, alveolar pressure = 10 mmHg. Thin epoxy section. B: bundle of wide‐open capillaries (a) within reversible folds of alveolar walls in a corner area. Bundles communicate with vessels (V) larger than capillaries, here probably a small nonmuscular artery that is part of the corner arrangement. Although this vessel cannot expand with inflation, it is also protected against collapse. In other locations, small veins are also visible in this arrangement. Normal rabbit lung fixed under zone 2 conditions by vascular perfusion of OsO4 into the pulmonary artery. Thin epoxy section. C: capillaries inside a bundle of capillaries (a) in corner presumably connect small arteries with small veins (cf. B) and are protected against excess alveolar pressure. Arrangement is due to reversible pleating of alveolar walls. Some septal capillaries (b) are open but flattened, whereas others (c) are derecruited. Normal rabbit lung fixed under zone 2 conditions by vascular perfusion of OsO4 into the pulmonary artery. Thin epoxy section. D: large extra‐alveolar vein (V) is surrounded by a loose connective tissue sheath. Bottom right, pleural surface. Normal rat lung fixed by instillation of fixatives into trachea after lung collapse.

Cross section of alveolar capillary from human lung lined by endothelium (EN). Endothelial nucleus is striking. Alveolar‐capillary barrier is organized into thick (right) and thin (left) portions. Thick side includes considerable interstitial space (IN), containing connective tissue elements, e.g., fibers (cf). In contrast, interstitial space on thin side is obliterated by fusion of basement membranes, which forms a minimal air‐blood barrier.

Principle of determination of pulmonary wedge pressure. Pressure sensed by wedged catheter (left, balloon inflated) is same as that at conjunction of flowing (2 arrows) and static streams (distal to wedged catheter). Nonocclusive constriction distal to occlusive catheter does not affect determination of pulmonary wedge pressure. However, constriction distal to confluence, as in pulmonary venule (PV), may cause pulmonary wedge pressure to exceed left atrial (LA) pressure.

Effect of location of tip of wedged catheter on validity as measure of left atrial pressure (Pla); one catheter was wedged high (Pwh) and the other low (Pwl) in the lung. Initially the upper catheter was located in zone 2 of the lung and did not reflect left atrial pressure. Saline infusion increased left atrial pressure and converted lung containing upper wedged catheter to zone 3 conditions; both catheters then reflected left atrial pressures. Subsequent hemorrhage restored zone 2 conditions and original discrepancy between pulmonary wedge and left atrial pressures. Catheter that was wedged low operated throughout under zone 3 conditions.

Bottom: impedance phase. Flow in normal lung leads pressure at lower frequencies (negative phase); situation is reversed at higher frequencies.

Putative sites of action of acute hypoxia. Pulmonary microvessel (artery, capillary, and vein) is shown traversing alveolar portion of the lung. Precapillary vessel is subdivided into proximal conducting segment (A), in which mixed venous blood (MVB ) affects some critical element of the vascular smooth muscle, and terminal segment (B), in which alveolar ordinarily is the major influence (striped area). Top: air breathing. Low mixed venous is responsible for normal tone of proximal pulmonary vascular segments; high alveolar is responsible for tone of distal segments. Bottom: hypoxia (breathing 10% O2 mixture). During hypoxia the mixed venous in proximal segment (A) undergoes little change, whereas alveolar decreases to a level that is not appreciably different from blood in distal segment (B); to the high tone of proximal segment is added the increase in tone of distal segment. Main component of pressor response to hypoxia is due to smooth muscle contraction in distal segment. FIo2, fraction of O2 in inspired gas.

Calcium and smooth muscle contraction. A: block diagram of compartmentalization of Ca2+ in muscle fibers. Also shown are main pathways and transport systems for Na+ and Ca2+: 1) ATP‐dependent, ouabain‐sensitive Na+‐K+ exchange pump; 2) sarcolemmal Na+‐Ca2+ exchange mechanism (shown operating in forward or Ca2+ extrusion mode); 3) sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) ATP‐dependent Ca2+ pump. Most of entering Na+ and Ca2+ is assumed to come through voltage‐sensitive conductance channels associated with action potential, k, Rate coefficient for fluxes of Na+ and Ca2+ across sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes in directions indicated. B: contraction of vascular smooth muscle. When intracellular Ca2+ levels exceed a critical level (10−6 M), Ca2+ binds to calmodulin, a Ca2+‐binding protein; Ca2+‐calmodulin complex binds in turn to myosin kinase, thereby activating the enzyme. Active kinase then catalyzes phosphorylation of myosin, which can interact with actin to produce contraction. Cyclic AMP plays an important role in activating a cAMP‐dependent protein kinase that can transfer phosphate from ATP to proteins directly involved in regulation of intracellular Ca2+ levels and in interaction of actin with myosin.

Increasing concentrations of acetylcholine were applied to rings of femoral, saphenous, splenic, and pulmonary arteries (circles) that had previously been contracted with norepinephrine. Those vessels in which endothelium was intact (solid curves) responded with increasing vasodilation. In vessels without endothelium (dashed curves), virtually no vasodilation occurred.

Putative sites of action of acute hypoxia. Pulmonary microvessel (artery, capillary, and vein) is shown traversing alveolar portion of the lung. Precapillary vessel is subdivided into proximal conducting segment (A), in which mixed venous blood (MVB ) affects some critical element of the vascular smooth muscle, and terminal segment (B), in which alveolar ordinarily is the major influence (striped area). Top: air breathing. Low mixed venous is responsible for normal tone of proximal pulmonary vascular segments; high alveolar is responsible for tone of distal segments. Bottom: hypoxia (breathing 10% O2 mixture). During hypoxia the mixed venous in proximal segment (A) undergoes little change, whereas alveolar decreases to a level that is not appreciably different from blood in distal segment (B); to the high tone of proximal segment is added the increase in tone of distal segment. Main component of pressor response to hypoxia is due to smooth muscle contraction in distal segment. FIo2, fraction of O2 in inspired gas.

Calcium and smooth muscle contraction. A: block diagram of compartmentalization of Ca2+ in muscle fibers. Also shown are main pathways and transport systems for Na+ and Ca2+: 1) ATP‐dependent, ouabain‐sensitive Na+‐K+ exchange pump; 2) sarcolemmal Na+‐Ca2+ exchange mechanism (shown operating in forward or Ca2+ extrusion mode); 3) sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) ATP‐dependent Ca2+ pump. Most of entering Na+ and Ca2+ is assumed to come through voltage‐sensitive conductance channels associated with action potential, k, Rate coefficient for fluxes of Na+ and Ca2+ across sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes in directions indicated. B: contraction of vascular smooth muscle. When intracellular Ca2+ levels exceed a critical level (10−6 M), Ca2+ binds to calmodulin, a Ca2+‐binding protein; Ca2+‐calmodulin complex binds in turn to myosin kinase, thereby activating the enzyme. Active kinase then catalyzes phosphorylation of myosin, which can interact with actin to produce contraction. Cyclic AMP plays an important role in activating a cAMP‐dependent protein kinase that can transfer phosphate from ATP to proteins directly involved in regulation of intracellular Ca2+ levels and in interaction of actin with myosin.

Figure 29.

Mean pulmonary arterial pressure and arterial O2 saturation (ART O2 SAT) in 3 groups of individuals. In healthy highlanders, arterial oxygenation is lower than in healthy sea‐level residents. This discrepancy is greatly widened in chronic alveolar hypoventilators (Monge's disease) at high altitude. Level of pulmonary arterial pressure is inversely related to degree of arterial hypoxemia.

A: schematic representations of bronchial circulation in different disorders. Top: bronchial arteries (BA). In chronic suppurative diseases of the lungs, bronchial arteries undergo considerable proliferation. Bottom: bronchial veins (BV). Proximal bronchial veins drain either into right atrium (RA) or left atrium (LA), depending on pressure levels in these 2 cardiac chambers. Normally most bronchial venous outflow from the lungs enters right atrium (thicker curved arrow). However, in right ventricular failure, bronchial venous drainage to left atrium increases. B, bronchus; C, expanded bronchial arterial circulation; PA, pulmonary artery. B: indicator‐dilution curves from pulmonary artery and brachial artery (BA) in a normal individual (left) and in a patient with bronchiectasis (right). Curves from the patient are identical in appearance, time, and height, indicating that catheter tip in pulmonary artery (in vicinity of bronchiectatic area) had sampled systemic arterial blood.a

Schematic representation of changes in mean pulmonary arterial pressure, proportion of combined ventricular output (CVO) distributed to the lungs, actual pulmonary blood flow, and calculated pulmonary vascular resistance in fetal lambs during gestational development from 0.4 to 1.0 gestation. Progressive decrease in resistance is attributable to an increase in cross‐sectional area of pulmonary vascular bed, in large measure due to growth of new vessels.

Figure 34.

Schematic representation of effects of progressive restriction of pulmonary vascular bed by successive amputation of lobes of the lungs on mean pulmonary arterial (PA) pressure (assuming that pulmonary blood flow remains unchanged). Pneumonectomy (middle) evokes only a modest increase in pulmonary arterial pressure (to 22 mmHg). Subsequent removal of right lower and middle lobes leads to considerable pulmonary arterial hypertension (to 55 mmHg).

Influence of endothelium on responses of different vessels to acetylcholine (ACH). Increasing concentrations of acetylcholine were applied to rings of femoral, saphenous, splenic, and pulmonary arteries (circles) that had previously been contracted with norepinephrine. Those vessels in which endothelium was intact (solid curves) responded with increasing vasodilation. In vessels without endothelium (dashed curves), virtually no vasodilation occurred.
