Term
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
Definition
Amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled. Typically 3100 mL
Term
Tidal Volume (TV)
Definition
Volume of relaxed breathing. Typically 500 mL
Term
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
Definition
Amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation. Typically 1200 mL.
Term
Residual Volume (RV)
Definition
Amount of air that cannot be exhaled. Typically 1200 mL.
Term
Inspiratory Capacity (IC)
Definition
TV + IRV
Term
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)
Definition
ERV + RV
Term
Vital Capacity (VC)
Definition
IRV + TV + ERV (Should be around 4800 mL)
Term
Total Lung Capacity (TLC)
Definition
EVERYTHING
Term
Pneumothorax
Definition
air coming into the pleura where it shouldn’t be
Term
Pleural Effusion
Definition
liquid in the lungs where it shouldn’t be
Term
Stages of respiration (5)
Definition
1. Ventilation (by bulk flow that results from a pressure gradient)
2. Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between lung and blood (by diffusion)
3. Transport of gases to tissues via blood (by bulk flow that results from a pressure gradient but is also dependent on the gas content of blood))
4. Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and tissues (by diffusion)
5. Cellular utilization of oxygen and production of carbon dioxide
Term
Ventilation
Definition
(occurs by bulk flow)
(Alveolar pressure - Atmospheric pressure)/Airway resistance = airflow
