Resp Physiology Flashcards
What is the definition of tidal volume?
The volume of air entering or leaving the lungs during a single breath
What is the value for tidal volume?
0.5l
What is the definition of inspiratory reserve volume?
The extra volume of air that can be maximally inspired over and above the typical resting tidal volume
What is the value for inspiratory reserve volume?
3.0l
What is the definition of expiratory reserve volume?
The extra volume of air that can be actively expired by maximal contraction beyond the normal volume of air after tidal volume
What is the value for expiratory reserve volume?
1.0l
What is the definition of residual volume?
The minimum volume of air remaining in the lungs, even after maximal expiration
What is the value for residual volume?
1.2l
What is the the definition of inspiratory capacity?
The maximum volume of air that can be expired at the end of normal quiet expiration
What is the value for inspiratory capacity?
3.5l
What is the equation for inspiratory capacity?
IRV + TV
What is the definition of vital capacity?
The maximum volume of air that can be moved out during a single breath, following maximal inspiration
What is the value for vital capacity?
4.5l
What is the equation for vital capacity?
IRV + TV + ERV
What is the definition of functional residual capacity?
The volume of air in the lungs at the end of normal passive expiration
