Total lung capacity
Sum of all volumes
Functional Residual capacity
residual volume+expiratory reserve volume
Expiratory reserve volume
Additional air forced out during maximum expiration
Residual volume
Amount of air left in aveoli after forrced expiration
Definitions of Lung Capacity defenitions Tidal Volume
Air moved in one respiration
Additional air taken in during maximal inhalation
Inspiratory reserve volume
Air remaining in conducting zone
Dead Space Volume
tidal volume+inspiratory reserve volume
Inspiration Capacity
inspiratory reserve volume+ tidal volume+expiratory reserve
volume
Vital Capacity
Expiration
Flow of air out of the lungs
Gas exchanges between blood and external environment
Inspiration
Flow of air into the lungs
Major Functions of Respiratory System
Breathing Mechanism
Passageways to lungs purify,warm,and humidify the
incoming air Entire process of exchanging gases between atmosphere and
body cells
Respiration
Movement of air in the Lungs
Pulmonary Ventilation
Diaphragm
Left/Right Bronchus
Right Primary Bronchus
Wider,shorter, and straighter than the left bronchus Larynx
Right Lung Difference between Right/Left Lungs and Right/Left Oral Cavity
2 lobes
Primary Bronchi Anatomy of the Respiratory Tract
Respiratory System Concept Map Nasal Cavity
Nostril
3 lobes Pharynx
Left Lung
Trachea
Longer,thinner, and crooked than the right bronchus
Left Primary Bronchus Left/Right Lung
Asthma
Chronic inflamed hypersensitive bronchiole passages
External Respiration
occurs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood and
carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveolar air. Lung Cancer
1/3 of all cancer deaths in the US and is associated with smoking
External and Internal Respiration Emphesyma
Alveoli enlarge as adjacent chamber break through causing
chronic inflammation which promotes lung fibrosis
COPD
Labored of difficulty breathing becomes progressively more
painful
Sinuses Disorder of Respiratory System
Upper Respiratory Tract
occurs in the metabolizing tissues, where oxygen diffuses out of
the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cells Nose
Internal Respiration Mucosa becomes inflamed which also increases production and
Nasal Cavity impairs ventilation
Chronic Bronchitis
Pharynx
Unexplained infant death which may be cause by neural
