test 2 Flashcards
(109 cards)
Conducting Zone
DOES NOT SERVE FOR GAS EXCHANGE air passageway, adjustment to body temp, humidification, trappng and filtering
What organs does the Conducting Zone
tracea, bronchu, bronchi, bronchioles
Respiratory Zone
site of gas exchange, largest portion of the lung.
What organs involved with the Respiratory zone
respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs
Lung volumes and capacity varies with..
age, gender, body size (especially height) and composition
What is used to asses Static lung volume
spirometry and pneumoscan
RLV
residual lung volume. represents the air volume remaining in the lungs after exhaling as deeply as possible
techniques for testing of RLV
helium dilution and oxygen dilution
FVC
Forced Vital capacity. from full inspiration to maximum expiration
RLV + FVC =
TLC Total lung capacity
Dynamic Ventilation depends on…
maximum “stroke volume” of the lung and speed of airflow
which is more important: ability to sustain high air flow levels or the air movement in a signle breath
high air flow levels
FEV
forced expiratory volume
FEV/FVC =
pulmonary expiration power
MVV test
mac voluntary ventilation. Test of someones breathing capacity. Values are 35-40 times a persons FEV and 25% high than seen during maximal exercise
What tests would you use to test someones breathing capacity?
MVV and FEV/FVC
True or false. Exercise generally doesnt maximally stress a healthy persons ability to breath
TRUE
muscles used for inspiration:
diaphragm, external intercostal
muscles used for expiration
internal intercostal, abdominal muscles
energy cost of breathing
3-5% for small exercise 10-15% with high breathing volumes
VE
Minute ventilation amount per min, around 6L
VA
alveolar ventilation, portion of air that actual is used for gas exchange
anatomical dead space
air in conducting zone
physiological dead space
dead space inadequately perfused or ventilated alveoli
