BOYLES LAW

Term
Pgas =
Definition
Patm (x) % of gas in atmosphere
Term
spirometer
Definition
instrument used to measure the movement of air during inspiration and expiration
Term
residual volume
Definition
area in the lungs that cannot move
Term
expirtory reserve volume
Definition
area left after relaxed breath
Term
inspiratory reserve volume
Definition
volume of air that is brought in on a relaxed breath
Term
vital capacity
Definition
volume of air when u blow all the way out and suck back in
Term
tidal volume
Definition
the amount of air you bring in or breath out on a relaxed breath
Term
total lung capacity
Definition
the total amount of air you can breath in or breath out plus the residual volume
Term
functional residual capacity
Definition
residual volume plus expiratory reserve
Term
mucus
Definition
traps inhaled particles
Term
saline
Definition
allows cilia to push mucus towards pharynx
Term
flow is directly related to
Definition
change in pressure over resistance
Term
respiratory cycle
Definition
inspriration to expiration to inspiration ect.
Term
diaphram contracts
Definition

thoracic volume increases

air in

Term
diaphram relaxes
Definition

thoracic volume decreases

air out

Term
compliance
Definition
ability to stretch
Term
high compliance
Definition
easily stretched
Term
low compliance
