FRC is the
point of equilibrium
At FRC Chest wall recoil — Lung recoil
=
Volume above FRC Chest Wall Recoil — Lung Recoil
less than
Volume Below FRC Chest Wall Recoil — Lung Recoild
> greater than
At FRC atmospheric pressure= Intrapleural pressure = Alveolar pressure = Transpulmonary pressure =
atmospheric pressure= 0
Intrapleural pressure = neg
Alveolar pressure = 0
Transpulmonary pressure = pos
the slope of the PV compliance curve =
compliance
PTP (Transpulmonary Pressure) =
PTP = PA - PIP
PA Alveolar Pressure
PIP Intrapleural Pressure
As diaphragm contracts PIP (intrapleural pressure) becomes
more negative
PIP is equal and opposite to
PTP (transpulmonary pressure)
— is the only pressure that fluctuates above and below 0 during regular quiet breathing
alveolar pressure
emphysema shifts curve
left, increase in compliance
Restrictive lung Dz shifts curve
right, decrease in compliance
higher the compliance higher the
resting lung volume

airway resistance — and lung volume decreases
increases
At high lung volume
conduction airways are filled with air and expanded
radial traction applied by adjacent alveoli expands airways
intrapleural pressure only becomes positve during
forceful exhalation
Frictional resistance causes a fall in this driving pressure along the length of the conducting airways. At some point, the driving pressure will equal the surrounding pleural pressure; in this event, the net transmural pressure is zero
