Term
Passive Expiration
Definition
In _______ __________, we let the forces inherent to the tissues restore the system the system to a resting position after inspiration
Term
Active Expiration
Definition
In ______ __________, we use muscular effort to push just a little farther after inspiration
Term
Respiration, forced inspiration, expiration
Definition
We are capable of quiet __________ as well as ______ __________ and __________
Term
Elasticity, Gravity
Definition
Expiration may be passive, driven by the forces of ___________ and _______
Term
Abdomen, Pulling the Rib Cage Down
Definition
We may also use muscles that reduce the size of the thorax by compressing the _______ or _______ ___ ___ ____ ____, and this will force air out of the lungs beyond that which is expired in passive expiration
Term
Spirometer
Definition
Device used to measure respiratory flow, volumes, and capacities
Term
Manometer
Definition
Classic U-tube used to measure air pressure differences
Term
Ventilation
Definition
the actual movement of air in the conducting respiratory pathway
Term
Perfused
Definition
migration of fluid through a barrier
Term
Diffusion
Definition
the actual gas exchange across the alveolar-capillary membrane
Term
Minute Volume
Definition
the volume of air exchanged by an organism in 1 minute
Term
Tidal Volume (TV)
Definition
the volume of air on one cycle of respiration
Term
Quiet Tidal Volume
Definition
the volume of air exchanged during one cycle of quiet respiration
Term
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
Definition
the volume of air that can be inhaled after a tidal inspiration
Term
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
Definition
the volume of air that can be expired following a passive, tidal expiration. Also known as resting lung volume
Term
Residual Volume (RV)
Definition
the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximum exhalation
Term
Dead Space Air
Definition
the volume of air within the conducting passageways that cannot be involved in gas exchange (included as a component of residual volume)
Term
Vital Capacity
Definition
the total volume of air that can be inspired after a maximal expiration. Combination of IRV+ERV+TV=?. Approximately 4000cc in the average adult
Term
Functional Residual Capacity
Definition
the volume of air remaining in the body after a passive exhalation ERV+RV=?. Approximately 2100ml in an average adult
Term
Total Lung Capacity
Definition
the sum of all the volumes TV+IRV+ERV+RV=?. Total approximately 5100cc
Term
Inspiratory Capacity
Definition
the maximum inspiratory volume possible after tidal expiration TV+IRV=?. This refers to the capacity of the lungs and represents a volume of approximately 3000cc in the adult
Term
Intraoral (Mouth) Pressure
Definition
air pressure measured within the mouth
Term
Alveolar (Pulmonic) Pressure
Definition
air pressure measured at the level of the alveolus in the lung
Term
Pleural (Intrapleural) Pressure
Definition
Pressure measured within the pleural linings of the lungs
Term
Volumes, Pressures, and Respiratory System
Definition
_______ and _________ vary as a direct function of the forces acting on the respiratory system
Term
Oral Pressure, Subglottal Pressure, and Alveolar Pressure
Definition
When the vocal folds are open, what three pressures are roughly equivalent?
Term
Intrapleural Pressure
Definition
What pressure will remain constantly negative, increasing in negativity during inspiration?
Term
Atmospheric Pressure
Definition
All of the pressures discussed are relative to what pressure?
Term
Negative Alveolar Pressure
Definition
During inspiration, expansion of the thorax decreases the already negative intrapleural pressure, and the increased lung volume results in a ________ ________ ________
Term
Air from outside the body will flow into the lungs
Definition
What happens as a result of the pressure difference between the lungs and the atmosphere?
Term
Positive Alveolar Pressure
Definition
During expiration, the pressure difference between the lungs and the atmosphere is reversed, with air escaping the lungs to equalize the _______ ________ ________ with the relatively negative atmospheric pressure
Term
Recoil Forces
Definition
the process of contracting musculature deforms the cartilage and connective tissue, and ______ ______ drive the respiratory system back to equilibrium after inspiration or expiration
Term
Positive Alveolar Pressure
Definition
relaxing the musculature after inspiration results in a _______ ________ ________ that decreases as volume approaches RLV
Term
Negative Relaxation Pressure
Definition
when the pressure is measured following forced expiration, a ________ __________ ________ is found, increasing to equity at RLV
Term
Chest Wall Recoil
Definition
Negative pressures are a function of the?
Term
Expanded lungs and torqued cartilage
Definition
the positive pressure arises from the?
Term
Posture and Body Position
Definition
what plays an important role in volumes for respiration?
Term
Rostrally (towards the lungs)
Definition
When the body is placed in a reclining position, the abdominal contents shift where as a result of gravity?
Term
Increases
Definition
Aside from reducing RLV, the force of gravity on the abdomen does what to the effort required for inspiration
Term
Checking Action
Definition
to alter the respiratory cycle to capitalize on expiration time and restrain that expiration through ________ ______
