28
Q

What are 6 factors effecting static lung volumes

A
  • Genetics
  • Sex
  • Height
  • Obesity
  • Chronic disease
  • Aging
29
Q

Does training effect your static lung volume

A

no

30
Q

Does smoking effect you static lung volume?

A

only minimally

31
Q

Why does obesity effect static lung volume

A

fat pushes on lungs preventing full expiration

32
Q

Is dynamic lung volume trainable? what is it dependent on

A

yes! on lifestyle and exercise

33
Q

What is dynamic lung volume

A

Ventilation working dynamically to respond to requirements of the body

34
Q

Dynamic lung volume depends on…

A
  • Volume of air

- Speed of moving the volume of air

35
Q

What is minute ventilation

A

The volume of air breathed each minute

36
Q

What is alveolar ventilation

A

Portion of minute ventilation that mixes with air in the alveolar chambers

37
Q

What is the equation for minute ventilation

A

Breathing rate x tidal volume

38
Q

What is typical minute ventilation

A

6L/min

39
Q

What can minute ventilation be increased by

A
  • An increase in the rate
  • An increase in the depth of breathing (tidal volume)
  • Or both
40
Q

how much of tidal volume is alveoli air

A

350 mL

41
Q

how much of tidal volume is anatomical dead space

A

130 mL

42
Q

how much of tidal volume is physiological dead space

A

negligible

43
Q

What is Alveolar ventilation

A

AV = (TV - dead space) x breathing frequency

44
Q

Minute ventilation is happening at the ___

A

mouth

45
Q

Does minute ventilation equal alveolar ventilation?

A

no - hardly ever

46
Q

____ increases alveolar ventilation

A

deep breathing

47
Q

Why can you pass out from shallow breathing

A

because you have low alveolar ventilation, you are only breathing in the dead space

48
Q

The anatomical dead space is in _____

A

in the bronchioles

49
Q

The physiological dead space is in ____

A

the alveoli

50
Q

What is ventilation perfusion matching

A

matching up the alveoli with air and the blood supply

51
Q

How can you modify blood supply to alveoli

A

body position - utilize gravity

52
Q

What is the goal of breathing during exercise

A

to match minute ventilation with exercise intensity to maintain alveolar ventilation

53
Q

how does the body match minute ventilation with exercise intensity in order to maintain alveolar ventilation

A

Increase depth of breathing (TV) and frequency

54
Q

Does the body change tidal volume or breathing frequency first to meet the demands of exercise

A

tidal volume first

55
Q

you can increase tidal volume to ___ of your total lung capacity

A

60%

56
Q

What occurs during exercise when you start to max out your tidal volume

A

you increase breathing frequency

57
Q

What might limit the amount you can increase you tidal volume (pathology)

A

if you have a chronic condition which prevents how much you can expire

58
Q

What is maximum minute ventilation at rest

A

Breathing rate x tidal volume = ~6L/min

59
Q

What is maximal voluntary ventilation

A

volume breathed for 1 minute

60
Q

What is maximal voluntary ventilation in men? women? highly trained men?

A
