Respiration Flashcards

0
Q

Explain negative pressure breathing

A

As the lungs expand, the volume of them increases and the pressure of the molecules decreases, this causes air to want to rush into the lungs. Then air wants to rush out of the lungs because the pressure is increased–causing to volume to decrease

What happens when the diaphragm contracts?

A

it flattens, creating more room for the lungs

Q

How many secondary bronchi are there for each lung?

A

as many as there are lobes for each lung

  • left lung has two lobes (two secondary bronchi)
  • right lung has three lobes (three secondary bronchi)

17
Q

What helps ribs 1-10 attach to the sternum?

A

costal cartilage

18
Q

What does the cartilage allow the ribs to do?

A

torque and twist up

19
Q

Which ribs get their own costal cartilage?

A

Ribs 1-7

20
Q

Which ribs share costal cartilage and are called false ribs?

A

Ribs 8-10

21
Q

Which ribs are “floating”?

A

Ribs 11 and 12

22
Q

What is passive exhalation?

A

the muscles you used for inhalation will relax and gravity will help everything go back to where it started

23
Q

What is active exhalation?

A

How you exhale when you are being more active, such as exercising or singing

24
Q

What muscles are used during active exhalation?

A

Abdominal muscles and internal intercostals

25
Q

What do the internal intercostals do?

A

Pull the ribcage down and in

26
Q

Explain checking action

A

when you engage both inhalation and exhalation muscles at the same time to control outward airflow

27
Q

What is the ratio of inhalation to exhalation during speech?

A

10% inhalation and 90% exhalation

28
Q

What is the ratio of inhalation to exhalation at rest?

A

40% inhalation 60% exhalation

29
Q

What is tidal volume (TV)?

A

the amount of air inhaled and exhaled during a normal respiratory cycle

30
Q

What is inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)?

A

the amount of air you can possibly inhale beyond your tidal volume
-inhaling at maximal effort

31
Q

What is expiratory reserve volume (ERV)?

A

the amount you can exhale beyond your tidal exhalation

-maximal exhalation, what you can exhale beyond your tidal exhalation

32
Q

What is residual volume?

A

the amount that is always in your lungs even after maximal exhalation
-because of residual volume; you can still accomplish the gas exchange

33
Q

What is capacity?

A

how we use the air

-typically a combination of one or two volumes to accomplish a purpose

34
Q

What is inspiratory capacity?

A

the amount of air that can possibly be inhaled after a quiet exhalation

35
Q

What is vital capacity?

A

the amount that can be maximally inhaled after maximal exhalation
-vital capacity=IRV+TV+ERV

36
Q

What effects vital capacity?

A

posture, strength of respiratory system, pulmonary compliance

37
Q

What is pulmonary compliance?

A

stretchiness or elasticity of the lungs

38
Q

What things can effect pulmonary compliance?

A

Cycstic fibrosis and smoking

39
Q

What is functional residual capacity?

A

The amount of air left in your lungs after a normal exhalation
-functional residual capacity=ERV+RV

40
Q

What is total lung capacity?

A

The total amount of air the lungs can hold after a maximal inhalation
Total Lung Capacity=IRV+TV+ERV+RV

41
Q

What is diaphragmatic breathing?

A

belly breathing?

-the deepest type of breathing

42
Q

What is thoracic breathing?

A

Doesn’t give maximal increase like you would using diaphragmatic breathing
-has more movement of the sternum and ribcage

43
Q

What is clavicular breathing?

A

Very shallow breathing

  • a lot of shoulder movement
  • not ideal
