Respiratory Physiology Flashcards
volume can be inspired over and above the tidal volume
inspiratory reserve volume
volume inspired or expired with each normal breath
tidal volume
volume that can be expired after the expiration of a tidal volume
expiratory reserve volume
volume that remains in the lungs after a maximal expiration
residual volume
which of the lung volumes and capacities cannot be measured by spirometry?
residual volume
total lung capacity
sum of tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume
inspiratory capacity
sum of expiratory reserve volume and residual volume
functional residual capacity
volume of air that can be forcibly expired after a maximal inspiration
vital capacity
Determination of residual volume
functional residual capacity - expiratory reserve volume
equilibrium/resting volume of lung
functional residual capacity
FEV1/FVC: obstructive lung disease
decreased
FEV1/FVC: restrictive lung disease
normal or increased
Gas exchange: N2O
perfusion-limited exchange
Gas exchange: oxygen - normal conditions
perfusion-limited exchange
Gas exchange: CO
diffusion-limited exchange
Gas exchange: oxygen - strenuous exchange
diffusion-limited exchange
