Respiratory system part 2 Flashcards
or breathing, is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs
Ventilation
2 phases of ventilation
Inspiration
Expiration
Changes that regulate ventilation, which produce changes in air pressure within the lungs
Thoracic volume
Changing thoracic volume includes
- diaphragm
- muscles that elevate the ribs
- sternum
- external coastals
a set of muscles that is required for inhaling
muscle of inspiration
Primary muscle associated with expiration
Intercoastals (depress the ribs and sternum)
is the process of measuring volumes of air that move into and out of the respiratory system
Spirometry
is the device that measures these respiratory volumes
Spirometer
are measurement of amount of air movement during different portions of ventilation
Respiratory volume
are sums of two or more respiratory volumes
Respiratory capacities
is the volume of air inspired or expired with each breath
Tidal volume
is the amount of air that can be inspired forcefully beyond the resting tidal volume
Inspiratory reserve volume
is the amount of air that can be expired forcefully beyond the resting tidal volume
Expiratory reserve volume
is the volume of air still remaining in the respiratory passages and lungs after maximum expiration
Residual volme
is the expiratory reserve volume plus the residual volume. This is the amount of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal expiration
Functional residual capacity
