26
Q

Physiologic dead space

A

Areas created by intrapulmonary obstructions or atelectasis

27
Q

Alveolar volume

A

Remaining volume of inhaled air
Equal to tidal volume minus dead space volume
Approximately 350 mL in adult male

28
Q

Minute volume

A

Amount of air that moves in and out of the respiratory tract per minute
Tidal volume X resp rate

29
Q

Minute alveolar volume

A

The amount of air that actually reaches the alveoli per minute and participates in gas exchange
(Tidal volume minus dead space volume ) X resp rate

30
Q

Functional residual capacity

A

Amount of air that can be forced from the lungs in a single exhalation

31
Q

Expiratory reserve volume

A

Amount of air that is exhaled following normal exhalation
Approximately 1200 mL

32
Q

Residual volume

A

Air that remains in the lungs after maximal exhalation; also approximately 1200 mL in average adult male

33
Q

Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2)

A

The percentage of oxygen in inhaled air

34
Q

2 types of motor nerves affecting breathing

A

Phrenic nerve
Intercostal nerve

35
Q

Chemical controls of ventilation

A

Chemoreceptors
Carbon dioxide content monitors
Central chemoreceptors
Increase in acidity of the CSF causes increased rate and depth of breathing
Primary respiratory drive
Hypoxia drive

36
Q

Other controls of ventilations

A

Body temp
Medications
Hypoxia
Acidosis
Metabolic rate

37
Q

Inhalation active or passive process

A

Active

38
Q

Exhalation active or passive process

A

Passive process

39
Q

Diffusion

A

Process in which a gas moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

40
Q

Conditions that reduce the surface air for gas exchange

A

Flail chest
Diaphragmatic injury
Simple or tension pneumothorax
Open pneumothorax
Hemothorax

41
Q

Hypoventilation

A

Occurs when carbon dioxide production exceeds the body’s ability to eliminate it by ventilation

A

Occurs when carbon dioxide elimination exceeds production

43
Q
