Physio Exam 4 Set 3 Flashcards
Tidal Volume
Normal Breathing 12-18 times a minute
Total Lung compacity
about 6 liters
FEV1
Forced Expiratory Volume
- Can help you find the origin of the disease
Restrictive Diseases, FEV1 :
Decreases
Obstructive Diseases
A lot longer to inhale the 4 liters
Forced Vital Capacity = 5L
FEV- (Forced expiratory Value) amount exhaled in 1 second 4L.
FEV/FVC = 0.8
Plethysmograph- more accurate
Type 1 Alveolar Cells exchange with capillaries
Increased Respiration
Alkalosis
Decrease Ventilation
Acid Direction
Lower you go down the lobe, the better the gas exchange.
Upper third of the lung has poor gas exchange (Dead Space )
Zone 1 (Top) : PA>Pa>Pv
Zone 2 (Middle) Pa>PA>Pv
Zone 3 (Bottom) : Pa>Pv>PA
- Lower part better exchange because the air does not occlude blood flow.
Henry’s Law
Amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure - driving forces.
- Affects Flow
- Form of Ohm’s Law
Change in P=Flow x thickness
(Thicker the barrier the lower the flow)
Higher compliance allows :
More filling
