Definition
CLOSED
Term

Term
DURING A NML EUPNEIC EXPIRATION, WHAT DO WE AHVE TO GET AIR OUT? 2 ANSWERS
Definition
THE ELASTIC RECOIL OF THE ALVEOLI AND THE CHEST WALL. WE ALSO CONTRACT THE INTERCOSTAL MUSCLES
Term
THE INTERNAL INTERCOSTALS, BY PULLING THE RIBS DOWN, CAUSE THE LATERAL DIAMTER OF THE THORACIC CAVITY TO (INCREASE OR DECREASE)?
Definition
DECREASE
Term
WHAT CERVICAL VERTEBRA INNERVATE THE DIAPHRAGM?

C3,4,5. SCI BELOW C5, YOU DONT HAVE TO PUT THE PATIENT ON A VENTILATOR. SPINAL CORD INJURIES ABOVE C3 SHOULD BE ON A VENTILATOR.

YES
Term

EXTERNAL. THE EXTERNAL INTERCOSTALS PULL THE RIBS UP AND BY PULLING THE RIBS UP I INCREASE THE LATERAL DIAMTER OF THE THORACIC CAVITY.

Term
WHICH LAW DISCUSES THE PARTIAL PRESSURE IN THE ALVEOLUS WILL DETERMINE THE PARTIAL PRESSURE IN THE PULMONARY CAPILLARY, AND IF THE PARTIAL PRESSURE IN THE PULMONARY CAPILLARY IS GREATER THAN THE PARTIAL PRESSURE IN THE ALVEOLUS WHICH WAY DOES THE GAS GO? TO THE ALVEOLUS AS A RESULT OF CO2?

Definition
GRAHAM'S LAW
Term
DOES FICK'S LAW OF DIFFUSION APPLY TO ALL CAPILLARY BEDS?
