Ch. 12 (Quiz 3)

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Fick's law in relation to gas exchange   Gas diffuses at a rate directly proportional to tissue area and the pressure gradient of the gases on both sides of the membrane  
🗑
tidal volume   air volume moved during either the inspiratory or expiratory phase of breathing cycle  
🗑
inspiratory reserve volume   reserve ability for inspiration  
🗑
expiratory reserve volume   the amount of air left when subject exhales, then continues to exhale and force out additional air  
🗑
forced vital capacity   total volume of air voluntarily moved in one breath  
🗑
residual lung volume   air volume remaining in lungs after exhaling as deeply as possible  
🗑
total lung capacity (TLC)   = RLV(residual lung volume) + FVC(forced vital capacity)  
🗑
helium dilution method   way to indirectly measure RLV; subject exhales normally then rebreathes a known helium mixture for 5 mins  
🗑
oxygen dilution method   more rapid assessment of RLV than helium dilution; determines RLV from dilution of lung's original nitrogen concentration, achieved by rapidly rebreathing a volume of 5 L of 100% oxygen  
🗑
maximum voluntary ventilation   evaluates ventilatory capacity with rapid and deep breathing for 15 secs.  
🗑
minute ventilation   volume of air breathed each minute; MINUTE VENTILATION = BREATHING RATE X TIDAL VOLUME  
🗑
ventilation-perfusion ratio   a ratio signifying that alveolar ventilation matches each liter of pulmonary blood flow  
🗑
dyspnea   inordinate shortness of breath or subjective distress in breathing  
🗑
Valsalva maneuver   forced exhalation against a closed glottis; can cause an acute drop in BP  
🗑


   

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.
