CP Flashcards
Atrial systole
Contraction of the right and left atria pushing blood into the ventricles
Atrial diastole
Period between atrial contractions when the atria are repolarizing
Ventricular systole
Contraction of the right and left ventricles pushing blood into the pulmonary arteries and aorta
Ventricular diastole
Period between ventricular contractions when the ventricles are repolarizing
Stroke volume
The volume of blood ejected by each contraction of the left ventricle. Normal = 60-80 ml
Expiratory reserve volume
The max volume of air that can be exhaled after a normal tidal exhalation
Forced expiratory volume
The max volume of air exhaled in a specific period of time
Forced vital capacity
The volume of air expired during a forced maximal expiration after a forced maximal inspiration
Functional residual capacity
The volume of air in the lungs are normal exhalation
Inspiratory capacity
That max volume of air that can be inspired after a normal tidal exhalation
Inspiratory reserve volume
The max volume of air that can be inspired after normal tidal volume inspiration
Residual volume
The volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of max expiration
Tidal volume
The volume inspired and expired with each breath during quiet breathing
Total lung capacity
The volume of air in the lungs after a max inspiration; the sum of all volumes
Vital capacity
The volume change that occurs between max inspiration and max expression
