labs 6-10 Flashcards
How many liters of air do we inhale daily?
2,000,000L
How many breaths does the average person take every minute?
15-18 breaths
How does exercise and hyperventilation affect breathing?
Ventilation and heart rate increase
Inspiration
allows air to flow into the lungs
Expiration
gases leaving the lungs, moving air out.
Expiratory Reserve
amount of air that can be exhaled during normal breathing (800-1300mL)
Inspiratory Reserve
amount of air that CAN be inhaled during normal breathing. (2500-3500mL)
Residual Volume
air that cannot be exhaled (1200mL) (CANNOT forcefully be breathed out)
Vital Capacity
tidal/expiratory/inspiratory volumes
Tidal Volume
volume of air inhaled and exhaled during a single breath (500mL)
Alveoli
AIR SACS: exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide
What measures lung capacity?
Spirometer
In which way does air move from?
it moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
what is the equation ?
VC=TV+IRV+ERV
What is the equation for total lung capacity?
Total lung Capacity (TLC) =RV + IVC
Contract
ribs/diaphragm extended during INSPIRATION- where these muscles contract
Relaxed
diaphragm smaller/compressed
what happens when forced expiration ?
Abdominal muscles contract
Function of Sclera
Protects and supports eyeball
Function of cornea
refracts light rays
Function of retina
inner layer of eye that contains receptors (rods and cones )
Rods
black and white/night vision
Cones
Color vision/bright light
Fovea Centralis
make acute vision possible
