PULMONARY Flashcards
During inspiration the ribs ____ and the diaphragm _____
rise
lowers
During expiration the ribs ____ and the diaphragm _____
lower
rises
When the diaphragm contracts it…
flattens pulling air into lungs
Why does air enter the lungs
the diaphragm flattens changing the air pressure in the lungs to be less than that outside
When do you breath out
when the air pressure in your lungs is equal to that outside
What are the accessory muscles involves in inspiration
SCM
Scalene
External intercostals
What are the accessory muscles involved in expiration
Internal intercostals External oblique Rectus abdominis transverse abdominis Internal oblique
What is the role of the SCM and Scalenes in breathing
when breathing in they move sternum forward and first two ribs up
What is the role of the external intercostal in breathing
when they contract they lift the ribs up and out
When do the external intercostals begin to fire more
when you need to increase frequency and depth of breathing - gives more thoracic cavity movement
Breathing out is typically a ____ process
passive - when the inspiration muscles relax it causes expiration
Tidal volume
Volume inspired or expired per breath
Average tidal volume for men and women
M - 600 mL
W - 500 mL
Expiratory reserve volume
Maximum expiration at end of tidal expiration
Average expiratory reserve volume for men and women
M - 1200 mL
W - 800 mL
Residual lung volume
Volume in lungs after maximal expiration
Average residual lung volume for men and women
M - 1200 mL
W - 1000 mL
Inspiration reserve volume
