lecture16: volumes part 2 Flashcards
how is measurement of pulmunary dimensionsn and lung functions usually done
done with a water-filled spirometer or electronic
spirometer
what does proper evaluation of measured values of pulm dimensions and lung functions require
comparison to the expected value
pulmonary function scores associated closely with what
stature and age
since Pulmonary function scores associate closely with stature and age, this enables the two values to predict what
the expected
average lung function value for an individual
what are the 4 static pulmonary volumes
1) tidal vol
2) inspiratory resevre volume
3) expiratory reserve volume
4) residual volume
what is tidal volume
volume of air inspired or expired with each normal breath
is the tidal vol high or low and why
low (only about 0.5L exhaled every cycle) beacuse we dont need a lot of oxygen at rest
which static pulmonary volume is associated with volume of air inspired or expired with each normal breath
tidal volume
what is inspiratory reserve volume
extra volume of air that can be forcefully inspired over and above VT.
wha=ich static pulmomary volume is assocaited with extra volume of air
that can be forcefully inspired over and above VT.
inspiratory reserve volume
what is expiratory reseve volume
maximum extra volume of air that can be forcefully expired over and
above VT
which static pulmonary volume is associated with maximum extra
volume of air that can be forcefully expired over and
above VT
expiratory reserve volume
what is residual volume
volume of air remaining in lungs
after forceful expiration.
which static pulmonary volume is associated with volume of air remaining in lungs
after forceful expiration.
residual volume
be able to recorgnize/understand the static pulm volume graphs
.
is RV higher in males or females
males because larger lungs
what is the relationship between RV and age
RV increases with age
BLANK allows an uninterupted exchange of gas between the blood and alveoli
residual long volume
residual volume Allows an uninterrupted exchange of gas between the
blood and alveoli to prevent what
fluctuations in blood gases
during phases of the breathing cycle
how can residual volume increase temporarily
Residual lung volume temporarily increases from an acute
bout of either short-term or prolonged exercise
what is the reason that RV temporarily increases from an acute
bout of either short-term or prolonged exercise
closure of the small peripheral airways
increase in thoracic blood volume
what are the 4 pulmonary capacities
Inspiratory capacity (IC)
functional residual capacity (FRC)
forced vital capacity (FVC)
total lung capacity (TLC)
whta is inspiratory capacity
Inspiratory capacity (IC): maximum amount of air that can be inspired from end of normal expiration (= VT +IRV)
what is the formular for inspiratory capacity
IC = VT + IRV
what is functional residual capacity (FRC)
amount of air remaining in lungs after normal expiration (= ERV + RV).
what is the formula for fucntional residual capacity
(= ERV + RV).
which pulm capacity is associated with amount of air remaining in lungs after normal expiration (= ERV + RV).
functional residual caapctiy
which pulmonary capacity is assocaited iwth maximum amount of air that can be inspired from end of normal expiration (= VT +IRV)
inspiratory capacity
what is forced vital capacity
maximum amount of air that can be forcefully inspired and expired (= IRV + VT+
ERV).
what is the formula for vital capacity
= IRV + VT+ ERV).
which pulmonary capacity is associated with maximum amount of air
that can be forcefully inspired and expired (= IRV + VT+
ERV).
forced vital capacity
what is total lung capacity
maximum amount of air comprised in the lungs (= IRV + VT + ERV + RV).
what is the formula for total lung capacity
(= IRV + VT + ERV + RV).
what pulmonary capacity is associated with maximum amount of air comprised in the lungs (= IRV + VT + ERV + RV).
total lung capcity
what are pulmonary capacities
combination of volumes
knnow/understand the graphs of pulmonary capacites
.
true or false: the volume subdivisions do not overlap
true
when you add all the 4 volume subdivisions, what do you get
total lung capacity
lung capacities are subdivisions of what
total volume that include two or more of the 4 basic lung volumes
what are the two things that dynamic ventilation depends on
- Maximum “stroke volume” of the lungs (FVC)
2. Speed of moving a volume of air (breathing rate)
what is speed of moving a vol of air (breathing rate) determined by
Determined by lung compliance, or the resistance of the
respiratory passages to air and the “stiffness” imposed by
the chest and lung
