Practical #3 Flashcards
tidal volume
volume of air moved in and out of the lungs during a normal breathing cycle
vital capacity
all the air that can be moved into and out of the lungs by breathing
ERV
Volume of air which can be forcefully exhaled below a normal tidal volume
IRV
Volume of air which can be forcefully inhaled above a normal tidal volume
TLC
all the air in the lungs from completely empty to completely full
Residual volume
the volume of air still remaining in the lungs after forced exhale
respiratory rate
number of breaths per minute
what did we use to measure lung volume
the spirometer
how do you calculate respiratory minute volume
(RMV) = TV x RR (breathing rate)
vital capacity formula
VC = TV + IRV + ERV
% of predicted VC
% of predicted VC = (your average VC/predicted VC) x 100
urinalysis experiment (the steps we took)
- obtain urine sample 2. dip test strips in urine 3. wait 60 secs until reading 4. compare colors to provided key
normal color of urine
pale yellow
normal ph of urine
4.5-8
Normal is to be negative for what in urine
glucose, proteins, ketones, RBCs, Bilirubin, WBCs.
specific gravity
the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a standard. urine compared to water is usually 1.02-1.05
casts?
the urinary sediments that are formed by coagulation of albuminous material in the kidney tubules.
