Respiration & Speech

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Checking action   inspiratory muscle activity during exhalation to counter act too much relaxation pressure  
🗑
Alveolar pressure (Palv)   pressure inside the lungs  
🗑
Diaphragm   divides the torso into two compartments- it enlarges the thoracic cavity  
🗑
Expiratory reserve volume(ERV)   maximum volume of air that can be expired from the tidal end-expiratory level  
🗑
Functional reserve capacity(FRC)   residual + expiratory reserve volume  
🗑
Inspiratory capacity (IC)   tidal + inspiratory reserve volume  
🗑
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)   maximum volume of air that can be inspired from tidal-end-inspiratory level  
🗑
Larynx as a respiratory structure   the larynx has the ability to control the rate at which air flows through it causing less or more pressure  
🗑
Lower airway   larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, lungs  
🗑
Lungs   porous and spongy, contain elastic fibers, right lung has 3 lobes, left lung has 2, covered by membrane known as visceral pleura  
🗑
Parietal pleura   membrane lining the inner chest wall  
🗑
Pleural linkage   the contact between visceral and parietal pleura that causes pleural linkage. this is a force that allows the lungs from collapsing.  
🗑
Pleural pressure   the pressure inside the thorax but outside the lungs.  
🗑
Relaxation pressure (Pr)   pressure produced entirely by the passive force of the breathing apparatus  
🗑
Residual volume(RV)   volume of air in the pulmonary apparatus at the end of a maximum expiration. there is always some air in the lungs that cannot be exhaled.  
🗑
Resting expiratory level (REL)   tidal-end expiratory level during quiet breathing  
🗑
Ribs   during inhalation- rib cage moves up and out during exhalation- rib cage moves down and in  
🗑
Sternum   chest bone the ribs connect to  
🗑
Thorax   cavity containing the respiratory muscles and structures  
🗑
Tidal volume(TV)   volume of air inspired or expired during the breathing cycle. (resting tidal volume)  
🗑
Total lung capacity(TLC)   volume of air in the pulmonary apparatus at the end of a maximum inspiration. IRV+TV+ERV+RV  
🗑
Upper airway   oral cavity, nasal cavity, pharyngeal cavity  
🗑
Visceral pleura   membrane the covers the lungs- involved in pleural linkage  
🗑
Vital capacity   maximum volume of air that can be expired following a maximum inspiration. IRV+TV+ERV  
🗑


   

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.
