Measures, Formulas, Control

Question 1

Respiratory Volumes

Answer 1

Vaules determned by using a spirometer

Question 2

Tidal Volume (TV)

Answer 2

amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under resting conditions

Question 3

Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)

Answer 3

amount of ar that can be inhaled during forced breathing in addition to resting tidal volume

Question 4

Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)

Answer 4

amount of air that ca be exhaled during forced breathing in addition to tidal volume

Question 5

Residual Volume (RV)

Answer 5

Amount of air remaining in the lungs after a forced exhalation

Question 6

Vital Capacity

Answer 6

maximum amount of air that can be expired after taking the deepest breath possible

VC = TV + IRV + ERV

Question 7

Inspiratory Capacity

Answer 7

maximum volume of air that can be inahled following exhalation of resting tidal volume

IC = TV + IRV

Question 8

Inspiratory Capacity

Answer 8

maximum volume of air that can be inahled following exhalation of resting tidal volume

IC = TV + IRV

Question 9

Functional Residual Capacity

Answer 9

Volume of air remaining in the lungs folllowing exhalation of resting volume

FRC = ERV + RV

Question 10

Total Lung Capacity

Answer 10

total volume of air that the lungs ca nhold

TLC = VC + RV

Question 11

Respiratory Control Ceneters

Answer 11

found in the pons and medulla oblongata

Question 12

What other control does the R.S do?

Answer 12

Control Breathing

Question 13

What rate does the R.S adjust?

Answer 13

adjust the rate and depth of breathing according to O2 and CO2 levels

Question 14

Does it Control the brainstem?

Answer 14

True

Question 15

What sends signals to the R.C.C?

Answer 15

Hypothalmus and Limbic system
