Lab Practical #2 Flashcards
What is tidal volume (TV)?
The amount of air passing in and out of the respiratory tract.
What is inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)?
The max amount of air inhaled.
What is expiratory reserve volume (ERV)?
The max amount of air exhaled.
What is residual volume?
The amount of air always in the lungs.
What is vital capacity (VC)?
The total amount of exchangeable air.
What is total lung capacity (TLC)?
The max amount of air the lungs can contain.
What is function residual capacity (FRC)?
The amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal tidal expiration.
What is inspiratory capacity (IC)?
Max amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal tidal expiration.
Volume = ____
Measure
Capacity = ____
Calculate
What does the value of FVC represent?
The total amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after maximum inhalation.
What does the value of forced expiratory volume at 1 section (FEV1) represent?
How much of the FVC can be expelled in the first second.
What is the normal ratio value of FEV1/FVC?
Greater than 75%
What value should the FVC be to be considered normal?
Greater than 80% of the predicted value.
What is emulsification?
It is a digestive process in which large lipid droplets are broken down into several small lipid droplets.
What is an emulsifier?
A substance (like bile) which breaks down large lipid droplets into small lipid droplets.
How was the emulsification experiment set up?
o Tube 1 was filled with water and oil.
o Tube 2 was filled with water, oil and bile salt solution.
o Close both tubes and shake for 30 seconds.
o Observe tubes directly after shaking for which tube had the larger lipid droplets.
Did emulsification occur in tube 1 or tube 2 of the emulsification experiment?
Tube 2
What was the purpose of the bile salt solution is the emulsification experiment?
The bile salt solution was the emulsifier used to break down the lipid droplets into smaller lipid droplets.
How is the result of the emulsification experiment related to the role of bile in lipid digestion in the GI tract?
Bile in your body breaks down lipids into smaller pieces to increase the surface area of the fat, making it easier for digestion. In the experiment, the bile salt solution broke down the lipid (oil) to aid in digestion.
What is the function of the digestive system?
To take ingested foods and break them down physically and chemically into small enough particles so that nutrients can be absorbed into the blood or lymphatic system.
The physical breakdown of lipids by bile salts is called ____.
Mechanical digestion.
Chemical digestive reactions must have a ____ and an ____ as ____.
Substrate, enzyme, reactants.
What is a substrate in a chemical digestive reaction?
It’s a substance that the enzyme is acting on (it undergoes a chemical change).
What is the enzyme in a chemical digestive reaction?
The enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst to break down large food molecules into smaller, absorbable components.
What are reagents?
Chemical indicators
What is a negative control?
An experimental set up where nothing is expected to happen.
For an enzymatic reaction, a negative control would not include the ____, ____, or ____.
Substrate, enzyme, both.
Why is a control group important in an experiment?
It validates when a reaction does occur.
pH > 7 means it is ____.
Basic
pH < 7 means it is ____.
Acidic
What were the reactants in the lipid digestion experiment?
Heavy cream, bile, water, and lipase.
How was the lipid digestion experiment set up?
o Label the tubes A through C.
o Add heavy cream and water to tube A.
o Add heavy cream, bile, and water to tube B.
o Add heavy cream, bile, and lipase to tube C.
o Close all tube caps tightly and shake for 30 seconds.
o Record the initial color of all tubes.
o Place tubes in tube floater and then into water bath for 30 min.
o Take tubes out of water bath, observe final color, and record info.
What was the substrate in the lipid digestion experiment?
Heavy cream
What was the enzyme in the lipid digestion experiment?
Lipase
