Scalene muscles

41
Q

2 main muscles for inspiration:

A
  1. Diaphragm
  2. External intercostals
42
Q

Contraction of inspiratory muscles (reduces/increases) thoracic pressures and (reduces/increases) thoracic volume

43
Q

What is the amount of air in a single breath X the number of breaths per minute?

TV X RR

A

Minute ventilation

44
Q

What measures the fraction of minute ventilation that is available for gas exchange?

A

Alveolar ventilation

45
Q

= (TV - anatomic dead space)XRR

What is this equation for?

A

A
  1. Anatomic
  2. Alveolar
  3. Physiologic
  4. Apparatus
49
Q

This dead space is defined as air confined to the conducting airway

50
Q

This dead space is defined as alveoli that are ventilated but not perfused

A

Alveolar dead space

51
Q

This dead space is defined as anatomic dead space + alveolar dead space

A

Physiologic dead space

52
Q

This dead space is defined as dead space added by equipment
