3 types of breathing

A

normal, quiet, labored breathing

61
Q

process of measuring volumes of air that movies into and out of the respiratory system

A

spirometry

62
Q

device that measures respiratory volume

A

spirometer

63
Q

measures of the amount of air movement during different portions of ventilation

A

respiratory volumes

64
Q

sum of two or more respiratory volum

A

respiratory capacities

65
Q

is the volume of air inspired or expired with each breath

A

Tidal volume

66
Q

At rest, quiet breathing results in a tidal volume of approximately

A

500 mL

67
Q

is the amount of air that can be inspired forcefully after inspiration of the tidal volume

A

Inspiratory reserve volume

68
Q

Inspiratory reserve volume is approximately

A

3000 mL at rest

69
Q

is the amount of air that can be
forcefully expired after expiration of the tidal volume

A

Expiratory reserve volume

70
Q

Expiratory reserve volume is approximately

A

1100 mL at rest

71
Q

is the volume of air still remaining in the
respiratory passages and lungs after the most forceful expiration

A

Residual volume

72
Q

Residual volume is approximately

A

1200 mL

73
Q

the tidal volume plus the inspiratory
reserve volume, which is the amount of air a person can
inspire maximally after a normal expiration

A

inspiratory capacity

74
Q

inspiratory capacity is approximately

A

3500 mL at rest

75
Q

is the expiratory reserve volume
plus the residual volume, which is the amount of air remaining
in the lungs at the end of a normal expiration

A

Functional residual capacity

76
Q

Functional residual capacity

A

approximately
2300 mL at rest

77
Q

the sum of the inspiratory reserve volume, the
tidal volume, and the expiratory reserve volume, which is the
maximum volume of air a person can expel from the respiratory
tract after a maximum inspiration (approximately 4600 mL).

A

Vital capacity

78
Q

is the sum of the inspiratory and expiratory
reserve volumes plus the tidal volume and the residual volume
(approximately 5800 mL).
