Q

_______ is a commonly used pulmoary function test

A

Spirometry

18
Q

______ is normal quiet breathing. Volume of air you breathe in and out

A

Tidal volume

19
Q

__________ i from top of tidal volume, breathing in until you cannot get anymore

A

Inspiratory reserve volume

20
Q

________ starts from a normal breath out then try to squeeze every last bit of air out

A

Expiratory reserve volume

21
Q

____________ the last bit of air that is in your lungs that is always present

A

Residual volume

22
Q

_________ are the same of more than one pulmonary volume

A

Capacities

23
Q

What is inspiratory capacity?

A

Tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume

24
Q

What is functional residual capacity

A

Expiratory reserve volume + residual volume

25
Q

How would one calculate vital capacity?

A

Inspiratory capacity + expiratory reserve volume OR

Tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume + expiratory reserve volume

26
Q

Minute respiratory volume = _______ X ______

A

Tidal volume X respiratory rate

27
Q

________ sonsits of air that fill the respiratory passageways tha are not capable of gas exchange with blood

A

Dead air space

28
Q

Anatomic dead are space is?

A

Air in trachea, terminal bronchioles

29
Q

Alveolar dead space is ______

A

Damaged or under perfumed alveoli

30
Q

What is the physiological air space

A

Sum of the anatomic dead air space and alveolar dead space

31
Q

What is the equation for the total volume of new air entering the alveoli each minute?

A

Va= Freq (Vt-Vd)

Va= alveolar ventilation rate 
Freq= respiration rate
Vet= tidal volume 
Vd= physiologic dead air space
32
Q

Sympathetic discharge in the respiratory system causes ________

A

Bronchioles dilation

33
Q

Parasympathetic discharge causes ______ in the respiratory system

A

Bronchiolar constriction

34
Q

Describe the cough reflex

A

Irritation to bronchi and trachea -> afferent neurons (vagus) -> medulla -> efferent neurons to muscles of epiglottis and abdomen

35
Q

Describe the sneeze reflex

A

Irritation to nasal passageway-> afferent neurons (trigeminal) -> medulla-> efferent neurons to muscles of the uvula and abdomen

36
Q

What afferent neuron is involved in the cough reflex?

A

Vagus nerve

37
Q

What afferent neuron is involved in the sneeze reflex?

A

Trigeminal

38

A

Phonation
Resonance
Articulation

42
Q

________ muscles are responsible for controlling sound production

A

Intrinsic laryngeal muscles
