Q

What is the vital capacity - VC?

A

Q

What are the 2 types of ventilation?

A

Q

What is hypo/hyperventilation?

A

Hypoventilation is low alveolar ventilation
Hyper is high alveolar ventilation

17
Q

How we determine the partial pressure of a gas as part of a gas mixture?

A

Multiply the % of that gas in the mixture by the total pressure of the mixture.

(All gasses exert the same pressure)

18
Q

What is atmospheric pressure?

A

101kPa
760mmHg

19
Q

What is normal Alveolar ventilation?

A

~4.2L/min

20
Q

Whats the normal partial pressures for oxygen & CO2 in the alveoli?

A

PO2 = 13.3kPa (100mmHg)

PCO2 = 5.3kPa (40mmHg)

21
Q

How do partial pressures change during hyperventilation?

A

PO2 rises (~120mmHg)

PCO2 falls (~20mmHg)

22
Q

What happens to partial pressures during hypoventilation?

A

PO2 falls (~30mmHg)

PCO2 rises (~100mmHg)

23
Q

What are the different lung volumes for males and females

A
