Lec 2 - 5 - Lung Volumes / PFT Flashcards
inspiration is an active process at all lung volumes except blank
functional residual capacity
stretched muscles have blank force
less
shortened muscles have blank force
more
weak muscles cause a blank frc because recoil is greater than chest wall force
decreased
driving force of the pressure across the respiratory system
alveolar pressure - barometric pressure… Pa - Pb
primary determinants of lung volume
sex, age, height
residual volume formula
= (IC + functional residual capacity) - vital capacity
with an airway obstruction, the functional residual capacity will blank
increase
obstructive diseases like emphysema have blank muscle strength, blank lung compliance, and blank airway resistance due to smooth muscle constriction and mucus plugging airways
decreased, increased, increased
emphysema causes blank residual volume and functional residual capacity and total lung capacity
increased
emphysema causes blank vital capacity and forced expiratory volume
decreased
compliance formula
delta V / delta P
flow in large airways
turbulent
flow in small airways
laminar flow
resistance formula
delta P / V
usually, the blank and blank flow rates are equal to each other
inspiratory, expiratory
inspiratory flow resistance is effort blank, but expiratory flow resistance is effort blank
dependent, independent
expiratory and inspiratory flow are effort blank
dependent
premature airway collapse to alveoli if the airway resistance is very blank and will result in crackles and rales
high
