Respiration Lab Flashcards
FEV1 is the blank
volume of air expired during first second of FVC measurement
fvc is the blank
forced vital capacity
during inspiration the blank contracts which creates a blank thoracic cavity
diaphragm, larger
enlarged thoracic cavity leads to a blank in pressure in the pleural space and alveoli
decrease
Palv means the pressure inside the blank
alveoli
Pple means the pressure inside the blank
pleural space
pressure gradient across lung wall
transpulmonary pressure
transpulmonary pressure equation
PT = Palv - Pple
Ppl is always blank due to blank property of lung and chest wall
negative, elastic
transpulmonary pressure is always blank in normal breathing
positive
normal FEV1 / FVC is about blank
80%
increased airway resistance especially during expiration in this disease
obstructive
in obstructive disease blank flow is obstructed
expiratory
in an obstructive disease FEV1 / FVC is blank
decreased
in blank lung disease blank is restricted and FEV1 / FVC is blank
restrictive, inflation, normal
