exam 3 respiratory lab activities Flashcards
positive recoil pressures occur at lung volumes ——- EEL
above
when coupled, the rest position of the lung-thorax unit is
35-40% VC
recoil force
the force generated as the lung-thorax unit returns to rest
proportional to the distorting force
for a person to be able to inspire above EEL an inspiratory muscle must be able to…
function properly
at levels above EEL, recoil forces are ———, meaning they work to get the lung-thorax unit to ———-
positive, compress
needed to calculate Pm(i)
Pi and Pr
inspiratory may be used during the expiration phase in…
speech breathing
the rest position of the thorax (uncoupled from teh lungs) is
partially expanded
during speech, recoil pressure…
decreases
during speech, lung volume:
decreases
the alveolar pressure is – at EEL
0
we inhale to a ——- lung volume before speaking loudly to generate ——— recoil pressures
higher, larger
contraction of the internal intercostal muscles causes an ———– in alveolar pressure
increase
contraction of the diaphragm causes a ———- in alveolar pressure
decrease
apnea
the cessation of breathing at the end of a tidal volume expiration
eupnea
normal, quiet breathing
hypernea
increased depth (and sometimes frequency) of breathing at rest
effects of pulmonary fibrosis on respiration
rest breathing is shallower than normal
increases elastic recoil
if recoil force is GREATER than required subglottal pressure demand, what will the speaker do?
use checking action to reduce recoil pressure
if recoil force is LESS than the required subglottal pressure demand, what will the speaker do?
use expiratory muscle force to add to recoil pressure
muscles of checking action
external intercostals
characteristics of someone with a spinal cord cut at the level of C7
Would have difficulty with speech due to inability to generate expiratory muscle force
Would have some difficulty with speech due to problems providing checking action
characteristics of somoene with spinal cord cut at level of C2
unable to inspire on their own
Would have difficulty with speech due to inability to generate expiratory muscle force
Would have some difficulty with speech due to problems providing checking action
reference pressure for measurement of respiratory pressure
atmospheric pressure
