hyperinsulinemia pathophys r/t HTN
activates SNS–>Na+ retention–>50-60% increase in incidence of HTN

50-60%
Closing capacity formula
closing volume + residual volume
relationship at which small airways begin to close
closing volume is
the amount of air in the lungs at which the flow from lower sections of the lungs becomes severely reduced or halts
FRC
reduced due to decreased ERV (FRC = RV +ERV)
ERV
reduced
vital capacity
decreased
total lung capacity
decreased
Decreased FRC is related to
the relationship at which small airways begin to close
Most sensitive indicator of the effect of obesity on pulmonary function
ERV
GA causes FRC to fall by (obesity)
