total volume that include two or more of the 4 basic lung volumes
40
what are the two things that dynamic ventilation depends on
1. Maximum “stroke volume” of the lungs (FVC) | 2. Speed of moving a volume of air (breathing rate)
41
what is speed of moving a vol of air (breathing rate) determined by
Determined by lung compliance, or the resistance of the respiratory passages to air and the “stiffness” imposed by the chest and lung
42
forced expirattory volume is measured over how long
1 second
43
what indicates pulmonary airflow capacity
FEV/FVC
44
what is pulmonary airflow capaity
how powerfully we can exhale air (helps diagnose breathing issues)
45
what does pulmonary airflow capacity refelct
Reflects pulmonary expiratory power and overall resistance to air movement upstream in the lungs
46
what is the normal forced expiratory volume in healthy indicauls
85%
47
the delineation point for airway obstruction is BLANK
equal to | 70% or less
48
what is the problem fir exhalation with bronchial asthma
harder because you are going from an increased surface area to a lower one (because of obstructed bronchioles =more resistance, harder to expire volume
49
if you have bronchial assthma fo you exhale fast or slow
slow
50
if you have pulmonary fibrosis, do you exhale fast or slow
fast
51
what is the problem with restircive pulmonary fibrosis
it can lead to inhalation problems because you are not good at expanding lungs (small lung volume) so you exhale fast
52
what are you testing in maximum voluntary ventilation
testing respiratory muscles = endurance test
53
what does max voluntary ventilation evaluate
ventilatory capacity w rapid and deep breathing for 15 seconds (extrapolated to the volume if the subject continuted for 1 min)
54
does exercise maximally stress how a healthy person breath?
no
55
exercise training of ventilatory muscles improves what
their strength and endurance
56
what does exercise training of ventilatory muscles increase
``` increases inspiratory muscle function and maximum voluntary ventilation ```
57
compared to men, women have a larger or smaller lung volume
smaller
58
compared t men, women have a larger or smaller diffusion surface
smaller
59
true or false: compared to men, women have a reduced static lung function measure only
false, also dynamic
60
what does the fact that women have reduced lung size and airway diameter, a smaller diffusion surface and static and dynamic lung function measures lead to
expiratory flow limitations, greater respiratory muscle work and use of ventilatory reserve during maximal exercise, particularly in highly trained women
61
A smaller lung volume plus a high expiratory flow rate in trained women during intense exercise places considerable demand on what
the maximum flow–volume envelope of the airways, adversely =affecting how they maintain alveolar-to-arterial oxygen exchange
62
true or false: Regular endurance exercise stimulates large increases in the functional capacity of the pulmonary system
false it does not
63
dynamic lung function tests indicate the severity of what
obstructive and restrictive lung diseases
64
Dynamic lung function tests indicate the severity of obstructive and restrictive lung diseases, but provide little information about what
aerobic fitness or exercise performance when values fall within the normal range
65
respiraotry system IS/IS NOT a limiting factor for aerobic exercise
IS NOT
66
what is minute ventilation
the vol of air breathed each minute
67
what is the formula for minute ventilation
``` Minute ventilation (V·E) = Breathing rate (12 bpm) X tidal volume (0.5 L) ```
68
how can minute ventilation be increased
Can be increased by an increase in the rate or depth or both
69
Breathing rate can increase to BLANK during strenuous exercise in healthy young adults and BLANK in some elite endurance athletes
35-45 breaths/min | 60/70 breaths/min
70
tidal vols for trained and untrained individuals rarely exceed what
60% of vital capacity
71
In moderate exercise, well-trained athletes maintain | alveolar ventilation how ?
by increasing tidal volume with only a small increase in breathing rate
72
As breathing becomes deeper during exercise, alveolar ventilation increases from what to what
70% at rest to more than 85% of the exercise ventilation
73
each person develops their own style of breathing where what 2 things blend to provide effective alveolar ventilation
breathing rate and tidal volume
74
is modyfing breathing during PA a good idea>
no, Attempts to modify breathing during running or other general physical activities offer no benefit to exercise performance
75
know slide 25
.
76
what is ventilation-perfusion ration
The ratio of alveolar ventilation to pulmonary blood flow
77
at rest how much air ventilates the alvelop each minute and blood through the capillary ~
4.2 L of air ventilates the alveoli each minute at rest and ~5.0 L of blood flows through the pulmonary capillaries
78
what does the average ventilation perfusion ration ewual
0.84 Matchese each litaeral of pulm blood flow
79
in light exercise, does the VP ration change much
no not really
80
in intese exercise, does VP ratio change
yes goes to about 5 L
81
what is anatomical dead space
Volume of air that fills all anatomical structures of the respiratory system that are not directly involved in gas exchange
82
does all tthe inspired tidal volume at rest enter and mix into existing alveolar air
no only about 350/500 ml
83
what is alveolar ventilation
Alveolar ventilation is the portion of inspired air reaching the alveoli and participating in gas
84
what does alveolar ventilation determine
the gaseous concentration at the alveoalr capillary membrane
85
is anatomical dead space a waste>
no it mixes gas and blood gas to combat extreme pressure differences
86
what is the physiological dead space
The portion of the alveolar volume with a ventilation– perfusion ratio that approaches zero
87
why do we get a physiological dead space in the alveoli
because Sometimes the alveoli may not function adequately in gas exchange
88
why is it that Sometimes the alveoli may not function adequately in gas exchange
because of: • Underperfusion of blood • Inadequate ventilation relative to the alveolar surface
89
in certain pathological sitauations physioolic dead spaces increase to what percentage of tidal volume
50%
90
is there every a point where adequate gas exchange becomes impossible?
ues Adequate gas exchange becomes impossible when the dead space of the lung exceeds 60% of total lung volume
91
what is hyperventilation
An increase in pulmonary ventilation that exceeds the O2 consumption and CO2 elimination needs of metabolism
92
what is dyspnea
An inordinate shortness of breath or subjective | distress in breathing
93
what is valsava maneuver
Closing the glottis following a full inspiration while maximally activating the expiratory muscles, creating compressive forces that increase intrathoracic pressure above atmospheric pressure
94
what does the valsava maneuver create
creating compressive forces that increase | intrathoracic pressure above atmospheric pressure
95
when does valsava maneuver commonly occur
commonly in activities that require a rapid, maximum | application of force of short duration
96
what is the consequence of performing a prolongued valsava maneuver (during static and straining typw execrise)
dramatically reduces venous return and arterial blood pressure
97
what does reduced venous return in valsava maneuver diminish?
This diminishes the brain’s blood supply, often producing dizziness or fainting
98
what happens once the glottis opens and intrathoracic pressure normalizes after valsava
blood flow reestablishes with an “overshoot” in arterial blood pressure
99
does valsava cause relatively large increases in BP during heavy resistance exercise
no
100
what do heavy resistance execiseres do
these exercises greatly increase resistance to blood flow in active muscle with a resulting rise in blood pressure
101
why is it that cold ambient air normally not damge the respiratory passages
because of airway warming
102
the airway warming of the respiratory tract during cold greatly increases the capaicty to do what
increases its capacity to hold moisture, which produces | considerable water loss from the respiratory passages
103
in cold weather, the respiratory tract loses what
loses considerable water and | heat, especially during strenuous exercise
104
what does fluid loss from the airways contribute to
contributes to dehydration, dry mouth, burning sensation in the throat, and generalized irritation of the respiratory passages
