224 Lab Exam 3 Flashcards
Hypertension
Over 130/80
Normal BP
20-40 years old 115/70
Systolic
The maximum pressure in an artery during ventricular contraction
Diastolic
The minimum pressure in an artery during ventricular contraction
Korotkoff sound
Are heard from the artery as pressure is applied by BP cuff below systolic pressure
Pressure
Developed between the lungs and external environment due to volume changes
Volume
The parietal and visceral pleurae attach the lungs to the inside of the pleural cavity
Airflow
Into and out of the lungs down it’s pressure gradient
Boyles law
Changes in pressure and volume of the lungs
Inspiration
Volume increases and pressure decreases
Expiration
Volume decreases and pressure increases
Diaphragm
Moves to create the pressure
Intercostal muscles
Help keep the thoracic cage moving to create the pressure needed to breathe
Tidal volume
Volume of air in each breath during regular breathing
Urine composition
Good: clear, pale yellow
Bad: darker colored, cloudy
