quiz 4 and 5 Flashcards
The total amount of air one’s lungs can possibly hold can be subdivided into …
four volumes
the amount of air inspired or expired during normal, quiet respiration.
Tidal volume (TV)
the amount of air which can be forcefully inspired above and beyond that taken in during a normal inspiration.
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
the maximal amount of air which can be forcefully expired following a normal expiration.
Expiratory Reserve volume (ERV)
the amount of air which remains trapped in the lungs after a maximal expiratory effort.
Residual volume (RV)
combinations of two or more volumes:
four capacities
he total amount of air the lungs can contain–the sum of all four volumes.
total lung capacity (TLC)
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐿𝑢𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝑇𝐿𝐶) equation:
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐿𝑢𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝑇𝐿𝐶) = 𝑇𝑉 + 𝐼𝑅𝑉 + 𝐸𝑅𝑉 + 𝑅𝑉
the maximal amount of air that can be forcefully expired after a maximum inspiration.
Vital capacity (VC)
𝑉𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝑉𝐶) equation
𝑉𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝑉𝐶) = 𝑇𝑉 + 𝐼𝑅𝑉 + 𝐸𝑅𝑉
the amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal expiration.
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC):
𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝐹𝑅𝐶) equation
𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝐹𝑅𝐶) = 𝑅𝑉 + 𝐸𝑅𝑉
the maximal amount of air which can be inspired after a normal expiration.
Inspiratory Capacity (IC):
𝐼𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝐼𝐶) equation
𝐼𝑛𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 (𝐼𝐶) = 𝑇𝑉 + 𝐼𝑅𝑉
Pulmonary function tests, such as….. are most useful for evaluating changes in respiratory functions.
spirometry
While spirometry cannot be used to make specific diagnoses, it can distinguish between……
restrictive diseases and obstructive pulmonary diseases
affect the lungs capacity to expand,
restrictive diseases
cause the lungs to hyperinflate due to an increase in airway restriction.
obstructive pulmonary disease
he respiratory volumes can be measured with a simple instrument called…
spirometer
tells us the total amount of gas that flows into or out of the respiratory tract in 1 minute.
𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑀𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒
𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑀𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 equation
𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑀𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 (𝐿⁄𝑚𝑖𝑛) = 𝑇𝑖𝑑𝑎𝑙 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 (𝑚𝐿) × 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡h𝑠⁄𝑚𝑖𝑛)

nomogram
often a better index of respiratory reserve than is the traditional vital capacity measurement.
The Heymer Test of Respiratory Reserve
individuals who have left-sided heart disease are found to have a …..
decreased vital capacity
We also see…. in individuals with paralytic polio.
decreased vital capacities
is a virus that infects an individual’s spinal cord and causes paralysis. Paralysis of the respiratory muscles affects the individual’s ability to breathe on their own, which resulted in the development of the Iron Lung in the early 1900s.
Poliomyelitis, or Polio,
The breath-holding time gives an indication of an….
individual’s functional respiratory reserve and efficiency of their respiratory system.
