A

static/some dynamic lung volumes

18

Genetics and body size have _

A

greater influences on lung volumes

19
Q

ability to maximally exhale over :01, :03, etc.
- measure of resistance to flow when expressed as FEV1 or FEV3

A

Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1, FWV3)

20
Q

pulmonary airflow capacity, pulmonary expiratory capacity, and overall resistance to air movement in the lungs

A

Forced Expiratory Volume

21
Q

Healthy individuals should have FEV1/VC ratio of _
- %FEV/FVC > 70% = _
- how good you exhale

A
  • ~80%
  • normal
22
Q

_ lung diseases affect the ability to exhale
- asthma, emphysema, asthmatic/chronic bronchitis, COPD, sleep apnea
- marker for obstruction = FEV1/VC ratio less than or equal to _

A
  • obstructive
  • 70%
23
Q
  • normal = _%
  • obstructive (exhale) = _%
  • restrictive (inhale) = _%
A
  • 80%
  • less than 70%
  • Greater than 80%
24
Q

maximal volume of air inhaled/exhaled from the lungs over a sustained time
- respiratory power (L/min)

A

Maximal Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) or Maximal Breathing Capacity (MBC)

25
Q

Dependent upon strength of respiratory muscles, compliance of lung-thorax system, and resistance of airways

A

Maximal Voluntary Ventilation (MVV)

26
Q

Dynamic measure, but not measured during exercise
- ~25% higher than VE during exercise because we only support what we need for exercise, never reach max
- Averages: men 140-180 L/min – women 80-120 L/min
- requires high level of motivation

A

Maximal Voluntary Ventilation (MVV)

27
Q

how much flow can go through a tube with ‘X’ pressure
- essentially a pressure measurement
- depends on:
- diameter of airway
- laminar (straight) or turbulent (chaotic) flow
- surfactant

A

Resistance (Raw)

28
Q

how much pressure it takes to push ‘X’ flow through a given tube
- essentially a flow measurement
- amount of air reaching the alveoli per unit of time per unit of pressure

A

Conductance (Gaw)

29
Q

Greater lung volumes = _ resistance and _ conductance

A
  • decreased
  • increased
