Question
Answer
tidal volume   volume inspired or expired with each normal breath  
🗑
inspiratory reserve volume   volume that can be inspired over and above tidal volume  
🗑
expiratory reserve volume   volume that can be expired after the expiration of a tidal volume  
🗑
residual volume   volume that remains in the lungs after maximal expiration  
🗑
anatomic dead space   volume in conductin airways  
🗑
physiologic dead space   functional measurement, volume of the lungs that does not participate in gas exchange  
🗑
minute ventilation   tidal volume X respiration rate  
🗑
alveolar ventillation   ( tidal volume- dead space) X respiration rate  
🗑
Inspiratory capacity   sum of tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume  
🗑
functional residual capacity   sum of expiratory reserve volume and residual volume; remains in lungs after tidal volume is expired  
🗑
vital capacity   volume of air that can be forcibly expired after maximal inspiration  
🗑
vital capacity   tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume+ expiratory reserve volume  
🗑
muscels of inspiration   diaphragm and external intercostals  
🗑
muscles of expiration   normally passive, used during exercise; includes abdominal muscles and internal intercostals  
🗑
compliance of respiratory system   distensibility of lungs and chest wall; inversly related to elastance  
🗑
surfactant   reduces surface tension and increases compliance, is produced starting gestational week 24-35  
🗑
surfactant   synthesized by type II alveolar cells and consits primarily of DPPC; lecithin:sphingomyelin ratio >2:! indicates mature levels of surfactant  
🗑
during rest   alveolar pressure equals atmospheric pressure, intrapleural pressure is negative  
🗑
during inspiration   alveolar pressure becomes negative causing a presure gradient, intrapleural pressure becomes more negative  
🗑
during expiration   alveolar pressure becomes postitive, intrapleural pressure returns to resting value  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
