Q

Diaphragm

A

Controls inhalation and inspiration
When it contracts, the top moves inferiorly making the thoracic cavity larger

16
Q

Respiratory mechanics 5

A

Diaphragm relaxes, thoracic cavity becomes smaller (decreased volume)

17
Q

Respiratory mechanics 6

A

Pressure within the cavity increases

18
Q

Respiratory mechanics 7

A

Pushing air out of the lungs (exhalation) to equalize volume and pressure

19
Q

Tidal volume (tv)

A

The amount of air that enters the lungs in a single inhalation or leaves in a single exhalation of relaxed breathing

20
Q

Inspitory reserve volume (irv)

A

The air that can be forcibly inhaled after normal respiration has taken place

21
Q

Expiratory reserve volume(erv)

A

The amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a normal respiration

22
Q

Residual volume (rv)

A

The air remaining in the lungs after a forced exhalation

23
Q

Inspiratory capacity (ic)

A

The volume of air inhaled after a normal exhale (irv+iv)

24
Q

Functional residual capacity (frc)

A

The air that remains after a normal exhalation (erv+rv)

25
Q

Vital capacity (vc)

A

Total volume of air that can be exhaled after max inhalation (tv+irv+erv)

26
Q

Total lung capacity (tlc)

A

Total volume of air in the lungs (tv+irv+erv+rv)

27
Q

Anaerobic exercise

A

Absence of o2, high intensity, short duration, develops force, burns calories even when boosts at rest

28
Q

Aerobic exercises

A

Presence of o2
Moderate intensity, long duration, develops stamina, burns calories during activity

29
Q

Asthma

A

A disease that causes construction of the bronchial tubes

30
Q

Exercise induced asthma

A

Same as asthma but only during exercise

31
Q

Bronchitis

A

Inflammation of the bronchial tubes

32
Q

Emphysema

A

Damage to the alveoli causing little to no gasses being exchanged

33
Q

Tuberculosis (tb)

A

An infectious bacterial disease spread through the air that occurs in the lungs

34
Q

Pneumonia

A

Infection that fills alveoli and air sacs with fluid

35
Q

Pneumothorax

A

Collection of air in the pleural space

36
Q

Hemothorax

A

Collection of blood in the pleural space
