Respiratory Flashcards
Spirometry
measurement of volume of air entering or exiting the lungs at various stages of ventilation
Tidal Volume
Amount of air moving in and out of lungs with normal light breathing
Expiratory Reserve Volume
Volume of air expired after passive resting expiration
Inspiratory Reserve Volue
Volume of air inspired after relaxed inspiration
Functional Residual Capacity
volume of air left in lungs after resting expiration
Inspiratory Capacity
max volume of air which can be inhaled after resting expiration
Residual Volume
amount of air in lungs after strongest possible expiration
Vital Capacity
max amount of air that is forced out of lungs after taking deepest possible breath
Total Lung Capacity
Vital Capacity + Residual Volume
Three layers air must get through to get to blood
alveolar epithelium, interstitial liquid, capillary endothelium
What makes up the respiratory membrane
alveolar epithelium, interstitial liquid, capillary endothelium
Decrease in pH leads to hypo/hyperventilation
hyper ventilation
