the collective volume of alveoli is called?
alveolar volume
the pressure in alveoli which fluctuates with breathing is termed?
intrapulmonary pressure
intrapulmonary pressure May be _______________________ in relation to atmospheric pressure?
higher lower or equal to atmospheric pressure
intrapulmonary pressure is_________ 2 atmospheric pressure at end of inspiration and expiration
equal to
pressure in the pleural cavity which fluctuates with breathing is termed?
intrapleural pressure
intrapleural pressure is __________ van intrapulmonary pressure between breaths?
4 mm Hg lower
between breaths what is intrapleural pressure and intrapulmonary pressure?
intrapleuralpressure 756
intrapulmonary pressure 760
during inspiration the thoracic volume increases and thoracic pressure _________
decreases
air flows in
during ____________: the thoracic volume decreases, the thoracic pressure increases, so air flows out
expiration
during quiet inspiration diaphragm accounts for _______ volume change comma external intercostals movement accounts for ______volume change
diaphragm 2/3
external intercostals 1/3
during quiet inspiration what volume changes occur in the intrapleural cavity
increase in volume- decease in pressure
lungs are pulled by the pleura so long volume increases and intrapulmonary pressure decreases during _________________?
quiet inspiration
what volume flows in as tidal volume during quiet inspiration?
.5 L
