Respiratory Flashcards
Muscles of inspiration
diahgram, external intercostal, scalene and SCM
Muscles of expiration
supposed to be passive, but if needed abdominal muscles and internal intercostals
Forces vital capacity (FVC)
total volume of air that can be forcibly expired after max insipiration
FEV1 (forced expiratory volume)
volume of air that can be forcibly expired in 1 second
What decreases FEV1/FVC
obstructive disease
What makes FEV1/FVC increase or stay the same
restrictive disease
FVC, and FEV1 in obstructive disease
both are decreased by FEV1 is decreased more
FVC, and FEV1 in restrictive disease
both decreased by FVC more decreased
normal flow volume curve
inspiration constant on lower portion of curve, upper portion shows peak expiratory flow at FEV1 then steady decrease in flow rate
obstructive flow volume curve
whale
all volumes are higher
inspiration normal but PEF decreased due to increased resistance
restrictive flow volume curve
similar shape to normal but all volumes are decreased
upper airway obstructive curve
peaks are absent
plateaus at inspiration and expiration
Asthma
affects airway wall
reversible, little sputum, little alveolar damage
chronic bronchitis
affect airway wall
moderalty reversible, excess sputum, moderate alveolar damage
emphysema
affect perenchyma
nonreversible, little sputum, excess alveolar damage
