Midterm: Lecture 2 Flashcards
Lobes of lung
Three lobes in the right lung: the upper or superior, middle, and lower or inferior
Two lobes in left lung: upper and lower
right middle lobe on the left side is termed the Lingula
Spirometry
test for pulmonary physiology
Tidal volume
volume of air inspired and expired, when at rest
Inspiratory reserve volume
max air inspired
Expiratory reserve volume
Max air expired during tidal volume
Residual volume
Air remains after max expiration
Total lung capacity
sum of residual volume, expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume
Restrictive Disease
unable to take in a full, deep breath
Some diseases with restrictive breathing pattern
polio, obesity, broken ribs, spinal cord disease
Obstructive Disease
is difficulty getting all the air out., largest group of pulmonary diseases
Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease
two diseases that affect the lungs—chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD causes progressive damage to the lungs.
Bronchitis
inflammation of the lining of the bronchi
Increased mucus
Symptoms of Chronic Bronchitis
Persistent cough
Extreme mucus production
Shortness of breath, especially with exercise
Emphysema symptoms
chronic dyspnea (breathlessness) hyperinflation with barrel chest
Cyanosis
bluish coloration of the skin due to lack of oxygen
