A

pressure inside the lungs

153
Q

what happens to the intrapleural pressure when breathing in?

A

the size of the thoracic cavity increases which causes the volume of the pleural cavity to decrease leading to increase in intrapleural pressure

154
Q

what are the accessory muscles of inhalation?

A

SCM
scalene
pec. minor

155
Q

is breathing out passive or active?

A

can be both depending on if the breath is forced or not

156
Q

what is elastic recoiling?

A

the chest wall and lungs spring back after being stretched

157
Q

what is eupnea?

A

quiet breathing

158
Q

what is costal breathing?

A

shallow chest breathing

159
Q

what is diaphragmatic breathing?

A

deep breathing

160
Q

what is tidal volume?

A

volume of one breath

161
Q

what is minute ventilation?

A

the total volume of air inhaled and exhaled each minute

162
Q

what is the anatomic dead space?

A

any airway with air that doesn’t undergo exchange

163
Q

what is inspiratory capacity?

A

sun of tidal volume and inspiratory resevre

164
Q

what is vital capacity?

A

sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume

165
Q

what is daltons law?

A

the total pressure of a mixture is calculated by adding the partial pressure

166
Q

what is henrys law?

A

the amount of dissolved gas in water depends on the partial pressure
higher the pressure, the better it dissolves

167
Q

what is pulmonary gas exchange?

A

diffusion of oxygen from air in alveoli of lungs to the blood in pulmonary capillaries

168
Q

what is the systemic gas exchange?

A

occurs in the body tissues

169
Q

what things effect pulmonary and systemic gas exchange?

A

partial pressure
surface area
diffusion distance
molecule weight
