Q

During inspiration pleural pressure:

A

With the onset of inspiration, the muscles of the diaphragm and chest shorten, which causes a downward movement of the diaphragm and outward and upward movement of the rib cage. Alveolar pressure falls below zero, and when the glottis opens, gas moves into the airways. Berne & Levy, p. 435

Q

37.Feature of Expiratory Flow Rate:

A

✔ The total volume of air that is exhaled during a maximal forced exhalation from TLC to RV is called the FVC. The volume of air that is exhaled in the first second during the maneuver is called the FEV1. In normal individuals, 75% to 80% of the FVC can be exhaled in the first second. Thus, the FEV1/FVC ratio is greater than 75% to 80% in normal adults. A ratio less than 75% suggests diffi culty exhaling because of obstruction and is a hallmark of obstructive pulmonary disease.
