respiratory review Flashcards
airflow pathway
nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
conducting, respiratory & transitional zones
c: no absorption, mucous
r: gas exchange, no mucous
t: minimal gas exchange, no mucous
inspiration vs expiration muscles / nerves
i: active, diaphragm, phrenic nerve, external intercostal muscles, accessory muscles in neck
e: passive, abdominal muscles, motor neurons, internal intercostal muscles
7 non-respiratory functions
1) water loss regulation
2) circulation
3) acid-base balance
4) defense
5) removal of materials
6) olfaction
7) sound production
TV
tidal volume, volume of air expired during tidal expiration
IRV
inspiratory reserve volume, volume of air that can be expired after inspiration
IC
inspiratory capacity, max amount of air that can be expired
ERV
expiratory reserve volume, additional air that can e further expelled after tidal expiration
RV
residual volume, amount of air in the lungs that cannot be expelled
FRC
functional residual capacity, amount of air that resides in the lungs after tidal expiration
VC
vital capacity, amount of air that can be expelled from lungs after max inspiration
TLC
total lung capacity, total amount of air the lungs can hold
tidal volume volume
500mL
residual volume
1200mL
anatomical dead space
old air that remains in airways after inhalation, 150mL remains
