16
Q

Volume of air within the conducting passageways that cannot be involved in gas exchange

A

Dead air

17
Q

Volume of air that can be inhaled during a maximal exhalation

A

Vital capacity

18
Q

How do you find vital capacity?

A

IRV + ERV + TV

19
Q

Volume of air in the body at the end of passive exhalation

A

Functional residual capacity (FRC)

20
Q

How do you find FRC?

A

ERV + RV

21
Q

Maximum inspiratory volume possible after tidal expiration

A

Inspiratory capacity (IC)

22
Q

How do you find IC?

A

TV + IRV

23
Q

Sum of IRV, TV, ERV, and FRC

A

Total lung capacity

24
Q

Change in volume (liters) divided by the change in pressure (cm H20)

A

Compliance

25
Q

Air pressure measured within the mouth

A

Intraoral/ mouth pressure

26
Q

Pressure below the vocal folds

A

Subglottal pressure

27
Q

Air pressure measured at the levels of the alveolus in the lungs

A

Alveolar pressure

28
Q

Pressure within the space between parietal and visceral pressure

A

Pleural pressure

29
Q

What pressures are roughly equivalent when the vocal folds are open?

A

Oral, subglottal, alveolar

30
Q
