16
Q

Total lung capacity

A

6000mls

17
Q

Anatomical dead air space

A

150mls-residual volume air which remains in the airway but isn’t involved in gas exchange of the alveolar.

18
Q

Inspiratory reserve volume?

A

This is the maximum extra volum that can inhaled during maximal inspiration 3100mls.

19
Q

Inspiratory capacity

A

3600ml-maximum amount of air that can be inspired this tidal + reserve inspiration.

20
Q

Functional residual capacity

A

2400mls-Air remaining in the air passage and alveoli end of quiet expiration, functional residual volume helps prevent alveoli collapse upon expiration.

21
Q

Expiratory reserve volume

A

Largest amount of air expired = 1200mls

22
Q

Residual volume

A

Amount of air left in the lungs following forced expiration forced expiration 1200mls

23
Q

Vital capacity

A

Maximum volume moved into or out the lungs 4800mls

24
Q

What is the atmospheric pressure.

A

760mmhg

25
Q

What is PO2?

A

Partial pressure oxygen.

26
Q

Explain Dalton’s law

A

Normal atmospheric pressure is 760mmhg and 21 of O2 within the air.
21 x 760mmhg = 16000mmhg

27
Q

What is boyles law

A

The pressure of gas in a closed container is inversely proportional to the volume of the container.

28
Q

What is Charles law

A

The volume septic mass of a gas increase as temperature increase if pressure remain constant.

29
Q

What are you measure of compliancy?

A

High-lungs & thoracic expanse easily.
