Physical exam: Alkhankan Flashcards
The posterior side of the lungs, are mostly what part of the lobes
lower
how many segments are on each side of the lob
10
what part of breathing is active and which is passive
inhalation/inspiration - active
expiration/exhalation - passive
what muscles relax during expiration
diaphragm and expiratory muscles
when does barometric air pressure equal alveolar pressure
no air movement
- end of expiration
what are pressures during inspiration
barometric pressure greater than alveolar pressure
what are pressures during expiration
alveolar pressure greater than barometric pressure
What shifts the curve to the right
low pH
increase CO2
increase temp
what does a shift to the right mean
better release oxygen
what does a shift to the left mean
greater affinity of oxygen for RBC
increase O2 uptake
what causes the graph to shift left
increase pH
decrease CO2
decrease temperature
what defines capacity
sum of 2 or more volumes
tidal volume
volume of air inspired and expired during normal quiet breathing
Inspiratory reserve volume
max. amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal tidal volume inspiration
expiratory reserve volume
max. amount of air that can be exhaled from the resting expiratory level
residual volume
volume of air remaining in lungs at the end of maximum expiration
vital capacity
volume of air that can be exhaled from the lungs after a max. inspiration
FVC
when vital capacity exhaled forcefully
SVC
when vital capacity is exhaled slowly
what adds up to vital capacity
IRV + TV + ERV
Inspiratory capacity
IC
max. amount of air that can be inhaled form the end of a tidal volume
formula for inspiratory capacity
= IRV + TV
Functional residual capacity
volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of TV expiration
formula for FRC
ERV + RV
what are the forces at FRC
- elastic force of chest wall = elastic force of lungs
total lung capacity
volume of air in the lungs after a max. inspiration
