Lab Exam 3 Flashcards
-the amount of air inhaled and exhaled during a normal breath
Tidal Volume (TV)
maximum volume of air lungs will hold
Total Lung Capacity (TLC)
- amount of air that can be forcefully INHALED after tidal inhalation
- will decrease as Tidal Volume increases
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
- amount of air that can be forcefully EXHALED following a tidal exhalation
- decreases as Tidal Volume increases
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
- amount of air remaining in lungs following a maximal exhalation
- remains the same both at rest and exercise
Residual Volume (RV)
Inspiratory Capacity (IC)= ?
TV + IRV
Expiratory Capacity (EC)= ?
Tidal Volume TV + Expiratory Reserve Volume ERV
Vital Capacity (VC)= ?
IRV+TV+ERV
Total Lung Capacity (TLC)= ?
TV+IRV+ERV+RV
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)= ?
ERV+RV
FEV 1/2/3 %= ?
[Volume of air exhaled in 1 sec/ VC] x 100
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases)
reduced airflow into/out of lungs w/o altering lung volumes and capacities
CRPD (chronic restrictive pulmonary diseases)
prevents lungs from inflating or deflating to normal levels, reducing lung volumes and capacities
Example of COPD
Asthma, Emphysema
Example of CRPD
Silicosis
