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
Vital capacity (vc)
Total volume of air that can be exhaled after max inhalation (tv+irv+erv)
26
Total lung capacity (tlc)
Total volume of air in the lungs (tv+irv+erv+rv)
27
Anaerobic exercise
Absence of o2, high intensity, short duration, develops force, burns calories even when boosts at rest
28
Aerobic exercises
Presence of o2 Moderate intensity, long duration, develops stamina, burns calories during activity
29
Asthma
A disease that causes construction of the bronchial tubes
30
Exercise induced asthma
Same as asthma but only during exercise
31
Bronchitis
Inflammation of the bronchial tubes
32
Emphysema
Damage to the alveoli causing little to no gasses being exchanged
33
Tuberculosis (tb)
An infectious bacterial disease spread through the air that occurs in the lungs
34
Pneumonia
Infection that fills alveoli and air sacs with fluid
35
Pneumothorax
Collection of air in the pleural space
36
Hemothorax
Collection of blood in the pleural space
