Q

what is the inspiratory reserve volume and what is the volume of this?

A

the extra amount of air that can be inhaled into the lungs during maximal inspiration. 3100mls

25
Q

what is inspiratory capacity and the volume?

the amount of air that can be inspired, this is tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume 3600mls

26
Q

what is functional residual volume and the volume of this?

what is vital capacity

A

maximum volume of air which can be moved in and out of the lungs 4800mls

30
Q

which bronchus is shorter and more vertical

A

right main bronchus

31
Q

what are the accessory muscles used in respiration?

A

Sternomascloid, Scalene and Pectoralis major/minor

32
Q

What nerve controls the diaphragm?

A

The Phrenic Nerve

33
Q

The pharynx is where in correlation to the spine?

A

Anterior

34
Q

if either of the pleural cavity membranes puncture what happens?

A

Air will enter and fill the pleural cavity

35
Q

What connects the pharynx and the trachea?

A

The larynx

36
Q

Where are Central Chemoreceptors located?

A

16-20

39
Q

Define Pulmonary ventiliation

A

Exchange of air between the atmosphere and the lungs

40
Q

What does the nasal conchae do?

Q

What system(s) is the pharynx a part of?
