During inspiration alveolar pressure is ____ than atmosphere
lower(sub-atmosheric)
During expiration pressure in alveoli is _____ than atmosphere.
higher
Air flows from _____ to ______ pressures (pressure gradient)
higher, lower
changes in alveolar pressure are generated by changes in
pleural pressure
During contraction of diaphragm, Abdominal contents forced_____ and ______ causing ________ in vertical dimension of chest cavity.
Downward, forward, increase
During contraction of diaphragm, rib margins are ______ and ______ outward causing ______ in the transverse diameter of thorax.

Intra-abdominal pressure situations that reduce Functional Residual Capacity
Pregnancy, obseity, bowel obstruction, laparoscopic surgery, ascites, abdominal mass, hepatomegaly, trendelenburg position, valsalva maneuver
Transpulmonary pressure in children is
more profound, children need some type of PEEP
FRC=equation
ERV(expiratory reserve volume) + RV(residual volume)
TLC=
IRV+TV+ERV+RV
FRC=amount
2.5L
DPPC
Dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline
