the physiology of respiration

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
quiet breathing   the active contraction of the diaphragm for inspiration followed by passive expiration by elasticity and gravity  
🗑
minute volume   the volume of air involved in one minute of respiration (quiet breathing)  
🗑
residual volume (RV)   the volume of air remaining in the lungs after maximum exhalation  
🗑
tidal volume (TV)   the volume of air exchanged in one cycle of respiration  
🗑
inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)   the volume of air that can be inhaled after a tidal inspiration  
🗑
expiratory reserve volume (ERV)   the volume of air that can be expired following passive, tidal expiration; also know as resting lung volume  
🗑
dead air   the volume of air within the conducting passageways that cannot be involved in gas exchange (included as a component of residual volume)  
🗑
vital capacity (VC)   the volume of air that can be inhaled following a maximal exhalation; amount of air potential for speech production; includes inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume (VC = IRV + TV + ERV)  
🗑
functional residual capacity (FRC)   the volume of air in the body at the end of passive exhalation; inculdes expiratory reserve and residual volumes (FRC = ERV + RV)  
🗑
inspiratory capacity (IC)   the maximum inspiratory volume possible after tidal expiration (IC = TV + IRV)  
🗑
total lung capacity (TLC)   the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume (TLC = IC + FRC)  
🗑
subglottal pressure (Ps)   pressure below vocal folds; glottis - opening between the vocal folds  
🗑
intrapleural pressure (Ppl)   pressure in space between parietal and visceral pleurae; always negative  
🗑
3-5 cm water   minimum driving pressure needed to make vocal folds move  
🗑
7-10 cm water   conversational speech  
🗑
>10 cm water   loud speech able to be produced  
🗑
nonspeech respiration %   40% inhalation, 60% exhalation  
🗑
speech production %   10% inhalation, 90% exhalation  
🗑
checking action   impeding the flow of air out of your inflated lungs by using the muscles of inspiration; lets the air out slowly  
🗑
resting lung volume   the amount of air in your lungs at the bottom of a passive expiration; 38% of vital capacity  
🗑
wet spirometer   measures respiratory flow, volumes, and capacities; jar inside water, inside a jar  
🗑
U-tube Manometer   method used to measure how much pressure a patient can generate  
🗑


   

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.
