Voice A&P Slides 25-50 Flashcards
3 forces during passive expiration?
- Torque
- Elasticity
- Gravity
- natural forces that restore the muscle to a relaxation state
What is torque?
twisting of a shaft (rib) while not permitting one end to move
Elasticity refers to?
the chondral portion of the rib cage
Gravity allows?
the restoration of the rib cage to drop down to its resting state
Active Expiration does what?
reduces size of thoracic cavity by pressing on the abdomen and forcing more air out of the lungs beyond the passive expiration level
What is Quiet Tidal Breathing?
Respiration for Life
One Cycle = 1 inspiration and 1 expiration
What are the number of quiet tidal breathing cycles an adult has per minute?
12-18 cycles
What are the types of respiration?
- Quiet Inspiration
- Forced Inspiration
- Passive Expiration
- Active Expiration
What muscles does Quiet Inspiration use?
utilizes the Diaphragm & External Intercosal m. (not accessory m.)
What muscles does Forced Inspiration use?
Diaphragm & External Intercosal m. & many Accessory m. (for speech)
What is Passive Expiration?
allows forces to go back to resting position after inspiration
What is Active Expiration?
use of muscular effort to push beyond resting position
Measurements of Respiration?
Spirometer & Manometer
What does a Spirometer measure?
Respiratory flow, volumes, and lung capacities
What measurements of the Spirometer are we interested in?
FVC-Forced Vital Capacity (all air in 1 inspiration)
FEV1-Forced Expiratory Volume
What does the Manometer measure?
Air Pressure
What two types of air pressure does the Manometer measure?
MIP - Maximum Inspiratory Pressure
MEP - Maximum Expiratory Pressure
What do Volumes apply a number to?
Amount of air in each compartment of the respiratory system (alveoli)
Volumes are measured in?
Milliliters (ml) or Liters (L)
Capacities are?
functional units of measurement that represent combination of volumes
