Definition
1) Vital Capacity: Total amount of exchangeable air. Sum of TV, IRV, and ERV. Approx. 4800ml
2) Total Lung Capacity - Sum of all lung volumes. Normally around 6000 ml. |

Term
|
Definition
- Total Volume: 500ml of air moves into & out of the lungs with each breath.
- Inspiratory Reserve Vol: Amount of air (2100-3200) that can be inspired forcibly beyond TV.
- Expiratory Reserve Vol: Amount of air (1000 to 1200) that can be evacuated from lungs after tidal expiration. |

| Main Organs: Large Intestine |
|
Definition
- Absorbs most of remaining water from indigestible food residues.
- Stores the residues temporarily
- Eliminates them from body as feces |
|

Definition
| Carry foods, liquids, and saliva from mouth to stomach |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Cleanses mouth, dissolves food chemicals, moistens food, & aids in compacting into bolus, & breaks down starchy foods.
- Produced by extrinsic salivary glands
- Salivary glands located outside oral cavity & throughout oral cavity mucosa. |

Term
| Circulatory System: Capillaries |
|
Definition
- Smallest blood vessels
- Exchange of materials (gases, nutrients, hormones, ect. between blood & intestinal fluid).
- Types of capillaries: Continuous, fenestrated, & sinusoidal. |
|
|
Term
| Circulatory System: Veins |
|
Definition
- Blood carried from capillary beds toward heart
- Venules are formed when capillaries united. Venules join to veins.
- The largest veins (Venae cavae) return blood directly to heart.
- Varicose veins have become tortuous & dilated. |
|
|
Term
| Circulatory System: Arteries |
|
Definition
3 Groups:
1) Elastic - Thick walled near heart
2) Muscular - Deliver blood to specific body organs
3) Arterioles - When dilated, blood flows in to local capillaries increase dramatically. When constricted, tissues served are largely bypassed. |
|
|
Term
| Circulatory System: Similarities & Differences |
|
Definition
- Arteries take blood away from heart
- Veins take blood to heart.
- Capillaries are where arteries become veins, vice versa. |
|
|
Term
| Circulatory System: Blood Flow |
|
Definition
- Blood volume flowing through a vessel, an organ, or the entire circulation in a given period.
- Equivalent to cardiac output (Amount of blood pumped out by each ventricle in 1 min) |
|
|
Term
| Circulatory System: Blood Pressure |
|
Definition
- Force per unit area exerted on a vessel wall by contained blood.
- Normal value: 120/80 or lower. |
|
|
Term
| Circulatory System: Resistance |
|
Definition
- Opposition to flow, measure of amount of friction blood encounters as it passes through vessels.
- 3 important sources of resistance; Blood viscosity, vessel length, & vessel diameter. |
