Question | Answer |
---|---|
inspiratory reserve volume | maximal amount of air that can be taken into the lungs at the end of normal inhalation |
expiratory reserve volume | maximal amount of air that can be pushed out of the lungs at the end of normal exhalation |
residual volume | volume of air left in the lungs after maximal exhalation |
inspiratory capacity | maximal volume of air that can be inhaled |
functional residual capacity | volume of air left in the lungs at the end of normal exhalation |
Vital capacity | volume of air that can be forced out the of the lungs following a maximal inhalation |
total lung capacity | total volume of air that can be contained in the lungs |
Dead space | conducting airways (no respiration) Does not take part in gas exchange Body weight in pounds -> mL of dead space |
Alveolar ventilation | volume of air per minute that reaches the alveoli and respiratory areas Takes part in gas exchange 4.2 L/min for 150 lb. person 500 mL-150 mL = 350 mL 350 mL*12 breaths/min = 4200 mL/min = 4.2 L/min |
eupnea | normal breathing rate and depth |
apnea | breath holding |
dyspnea | painful or difficult breathing |
tachypnea | rapid breathing rate |
minute ventilation | VE = VT * fb |
