Q

Describe what occurs during active inhalation. (4)
- Diaphragm and intercostals ?
- lungs ?
- abdominal viscera?
- inspiratory muscles?

A
  • Diaphragm and intercostals contract
  • lungs expand with thoracic enlargement
  • abdominal viscera is compressed by the diaphragm
  • inspiratory muscles cease contraction

21
Q

Describe the effect of active inhalation. (4) (Thorax, Airflow, Intraabdominal, Force)

A
  • thoracic dimensions increase (vertical, transverse, anteroposterior)
  • inward airflow to equalize pressure
  • increased intraabdominal pressure
  • restoring force begins
22
Q

Describe what occurs during passive exhalation. (4) (Force, Ribs, Gravity, Lungs)

A
  • Upward force increases against diaphragm
  • ribs unwind
  • gravity acts on system
  • lung elasticity exerts restoring force of thoracic wall
  • lung elasticity provides expiratory force
23
Q

Describe the effect of passive exhalation. (5) (Thorax, Force, Energy, Restoration, Air flow)

A
  • Vertical dimension of thorax decreases
  • torque occurs
  • potential energy becomes kinetic energy
  • restores thorax to resting position
  • outward flow of air
24
Q

What is torque? (2)

A
  • An elastic system, but twisted rather than stretched.
  • The force of torque restores your chest cavity to its resting position
25
Q

What occurs to your breaths per minute as you get older?

A

BPM gets lower as you get older, largely determined by body size

26
Q

Why do infants have so many breaths per minute?

A

Their alveoli and alveolar ducts are still growing in the first years of life

27
Q

What is a spirometer?

A

Instrument for measuring respiratory volumes and airflow

28
Q

What is residual volume? (2)

A
  • Air in lungs after maximal expiration. Cannot be measured on spirometry
  • Has to be estimated
29
Q

What is inspiratory reserve volume?

A

Amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal tidal volume inhalation

30
Q

What is expiratory reserve volume?

A

Amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation

31
Q

What is tidal volume?

A

amount of air inhaled and exhaled during a normal breathing cycle.

32
Q

What is vital capacity?

A

Total amount of exchangeable air (TV + IRV + ERV)

33
Q

What is Resting Expiratory Level (REL)? (2)

A
  • Equilibrium in the respiratory system
  • Roughly 40% of total lung volume
34
Q

Which pulmonary division is the most important?

A

Vital capacity, as it tells us how much activity we can do based on our respiratory health (ie. whether we can speak)

35
Q

What is egressive speech?

A

Speech produced on outflowing air

36
Q

What is a breath group?

A

Number of syllables produced on one expiration

37
Q

Why does your body position affect breathing capacity?

A

Due to gravity, and pressure placed on diaphragm.

38
Q

What body position is just as optimal for breathing as standing up right?

A

On all fours (likely due to evolution and babies)

39
Q

True/False: Subglottal pressure during sustained vowel is relatively constant.

A

True

40
Q

What is relaxation pressure? (4)

A
  • Pressure generated by entirely passive forces (gravity, muscle relaxation, lung elasticity, torque)
  • 0 at Resting expiratory level
  • positive following inhalation
  • negative following forced exhalation
41
Q

What is the larynx?

A

The hollow muscular organ forming an air passage to the lungs and holding the vocal cords in humans and other mammals; the voice box.

42
Q

What are the vocal folds?

A

Folds of membranous tissue that project inward from the sides of the larynx to form a slit across the glottis in the throat, and whose edges vibrate in the airstream to produce the voice (glottal tone).

42
Q

What are the vocal folds?

A

Folds of membranous tissue that project inward from the sides of the larynx to form a slit across the glottis in the throat, and whose edges vibrate in the airstream to produce the voice (glottal tone).

43
Q

What is the function of the larynx?

A
  • Protects lower respiratory tract
  • Valving mechanism
  • Part of respiratory system
  • Thoracic fixation (closing of the larynx to prevent abdominal contents from coming up)
  • Coughing
44
Q

When is the larynx closed?

A

Usually only when it is protecting you or during thoracic fixation

45
Q

What is the shape of the vocal folds?

A

V shape - more closed in the front

46
Q

What are the steps of the mucosal wave? (7)

A
  1. Vocal folds adducted (closed)
  2. Subglottal air pressure increases
  3. Vocal folds blown apart
  4. Puff of air released
  5. Subglottal air pressure decreases
  6. Tissue elasticity and lower air pressure allows vocal folds to snap back
  7. Process repeats
47
Q

What is the hyoid bone? (2)

A
  • only bone in the larynx
  • supportive structure for tongue root
48
Q

What other bones are connected to the hyoid?

A

NONE
- larynx is suspended from the hyoid by the thyrohyoid membrane

49
Q

What are the cartilages of the larynx? (6)

A
  • thyroid
    -cricoid
    -epiglottis
    -arytenoids
    -corniculates
    -cuneiform
50
Q

Explain the Mucosal Wave:

A

Vocal folds adducted
Subglottal pressure (Psub)
increases
Vocal folds blown apart
Puff of air is released
Subglottal air pressure decreases
Tissue elasticity and lower air pressure allows vocal folds to snap back
