Anatomy pratical 2 Flashcards
amount of air inspired or expired during normal, quiet respiation
tidal volume
the amount of air which can be forcefully inspired above and beyond that taken in during a normal respiration
Inspiratory Reserve volume
The maximal amount of air which can be forcefully expired following a normal expiration
Expiratory reserve volume
the amount of air which remains trapped in the lungs after a maximal expiratory effort
residual volume
the total amount of air the lungs can contain- the sum of all four volumes
total lung capacity
the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully expired after a maximum inspiration
vital capacity
the amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal expiration
functional residual capacity
The maximal amount of air which can be inspired after a normal expiration
inspiratory capacity
What is the equation for total lung capacity?
Total lung capacity= tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume + expiratory reserve volume + Residual volume
What is the equation for vital capacity?
Vital capacity= tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume + expiratory reserve volume
What is the equation for Functional Residual capacity?
Functional Residual capacity= residual volume + Expiratory reserve volume
What is the equation for Inspiratory capacity?
Inspiratory capacity= tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume
What is the equation for respiratory minute volume?
Respiratory minute volume= Tidal volume(mL) + Respiratory Rate(breaths/min)
