Term
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
Definition
amt. of air that can be inhaled abolve tidal inhalation
Term
tidal volume
Definition
amt. of air either exhaled or inhaled during quiet respiration
Term

capacities

 

Definition
combo of 2 or more volumes
Term
pleural space
Definition
space between the 2 pleura
Term
parietal pleura
Definition
inner surface of the thorax covered w/another membrane
Term
visceral pleura
Definition
outer surface of the lungs is covered w/a membrane
Term

internal intercostal

 

Definition
under externals and contracts to pull rib cage down decreasing dimensions
Term
external intercostals
Definition

11 pairs, lie between ribs

contract to elevate ribcage, increase in anterior to posterior dimensions

 

Term
inspiratory checking action
Definition
counteracts the relation pressures and promotes the steady lung pressure necessary for phonation
Term
relaxation pressure
Definition
elastic properties that exert a recoil force to return mass to its original size, shape, position
Term
forced exhalation
Definition

occurs when the volume of air in the lungs is moved out at a rate faster than during tidal breathing and/or a greater volume of air is exhaled than during tidal breathing

 

Term
motor equivalence
Definition
individuals demonstrate diff motor behaviors in response to same stimulus
Term
elastic recoil forces
Definition
forces arising from elastic properties acting upon the lungs and thorax to return them to their resting state upon being stretched
