Lung Capacities/ Volumes Flashcards
Expiratory reserve volume
Max volume of air that can be exhaled after normal title exhalation
Anatomic dead space
Volume of air that occupies the non-respiratory conducting airways
Forced expiratory volume
Max volume of air exhaled in a specific period of time
Forced vital capacity
Volume of air expired during of forest Max expiration after forest Max inspiration
Functional residual capacity
Volume of air in the lungs after normal exhalation
Inspiratory capacity
Max volume of air that can be inspired after a normal title exhalation
Inspiratory reserve volume
Max volume of air that can be inspired after normal title volume inspiration
Minute volume ventilation
Volume of air expired in one minute
Peak expiratory flow
Max flow of air during the beginning of a forced expiratory maneuver
Residual volume
Volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of a max expiration
Tidal volume
Volume inspired and expired with each breath during quiet breathing.
Total lung capacity
Volume of air in the lung after a Max inspiration. Some of all the volumes
Vital capacity
Volume change that occurs between Max inspiration and Max expiration
