The CC = ___ + ___
closing volume and residual volume
What is the closing volume?
the lung volume below which small airways begin to close during expiration
Is closure of small airways in the SUPERIOR portion of the lung during deep expiration normal due to gravity?
NO - it is normal in basal portions of the lung
Why is closure of small airways normal in basal portion of the lungs during deep expiraiton?
D/t gravity-dependent increase in pleural pressure at the bases and d/t lack of parenchymal support in distal airways
Does CC increase with age?
Yes
Why does CC increase with age?
D/t loss of structural parenchymal support tissue in the lung and an increase in RV
What is greater the increase in FRC or the increase in CC for elderly?

How long does it take the CC to change?
very slowly over time
HOw long does it take the FRC to change?
changes minute to minute
What determines teh FRC change?
lung and chest wall
When does the CC exceed FRC in teh supine position?
by age 45
When does the CC exceed FRC in teh upright position?
65
What anesthetic does not decrease the elastic recoil of the chest wall?

WHy do anesthetics decrease the elastic recoil of the chest wall?
muscle relaxing effects
Anesthetics cause what to decrease?
Elastic recoil and FRC
