Physiology Flashcards
Amount of gas moved in normal resting inspiratory effort
Tidal volume
Effect of exercise on VO2Max
Exercise increases VO2max
Central vs peripheral chemoreceptors are sensitive to what?
Central sense increase in CO2 and peripheral senses decrease of O2
Volume of gas inhaled or exhaled per minute
Minute volume
To be able to clear secretions need at least how much of a peak cough flow
3L/s
Fick equation
VO2max = (HR x SV) x AVO2 difference
VO2 max
Amount of oxygen used in one minutes of maximal exercise
Obstructive versus restrictive FEV1/FVC
Obstructive: FEV1/FVC is decreased because FEV1 decreases.
Restrictive: FEV1/FVC is normal or increased because both decrease at the same rate
Amount of gas in the lungs at the end of maximal expiration
Residual volume
Amount of gas within the lungs at the end of maximal inspiration
Total Lung capacity
Units of VO2max
mL O2 in 1min/kg body weight
Five accessory muscles of inspiration
Sternocleidomastoid, trapezius, pectoralis major, External intercostal, scalene muscle
Vital capacity measured with the subject exhaling as rapidly as possible
Forced vital capacity
Amount of air expelled in the first second of FVC
forced expiratory volume in one second FEV1
Amount of gas in the lungs at the end of normal expiration
Functional residual capacity
