Spans from Z0 to Z16. Volume of air held is _____ mls. No gas exchange takes place. -
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




correct answer ✔150 |||||| ||||||




During normal breathing, there is about ____ to ____ mls of air in the alveolar airways. -
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




correct answer ✔2500‐3000 |||||| ||||||




_____‐ No cartilage and significantly less smooth muscle. Remember, no gas exchange here.
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




- correct answer ✔Terminal Bronchioles (Z16)
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




The path of oxygen diffusion‐ - correct answer ✔1. Alveolar fluid 2. Alveolar epithelium 3.
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Epithelial basement membrane 4. Interstitial space 5 Capillary basement membrane 6.
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Capillary endothelial cell membrane 7. Blood 8. Red cell membrane
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




What are the muscles involved with inspiration? - correct answer ✔Main muscle of
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




inspiration is the diaphragm. |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Secondary inspiratory muscles are the external intercostals and sternocleidomastoids. We
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




use these during exercise.
|||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Sternocleidomastoid elevates sternum. |||||| ||||||




Scalenus elevates and fix upper ribs. |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Parasternal intercartilaginous muscles elevates ribs. |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




External intercostals elevates ribs. |||||| |||||| ||||||

,Diaphragm: domes descend, increasing longitudinal dimension of chest and elevating lower |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




ribs.


What are the muscles involved with expiration? - correct answer ✔TIDAL VOLUME
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




expiration is passive (ie, we use the recoil of the lung to push air out). |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Secondary expiratory muscles include the internal intercostals and the abdominal muscle.
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




When they contract, they work with the recoil to forcefully push air out of the lungs.
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Internal intercostals except parasternal intercartilaginous muscles (depresses ribs).
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Abdominal muscles depresses lower ribs, compresses abdominal contents. |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Rectus abdominis. ||||||




External oblique.. ||||||




Internal oblique. ||||||




Transversus abdominis. ||||||




When the diaphragm contracts during inspiration, it moves ____.When it relaxes during
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




expiration, it moves____. - correct answer ✔Down |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




Up


____ is the amount of air inhaled/exhaled with a normal breath from the resting level
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




(~____ L) - correct answer ✔Volume (VT) |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




0.5


_____ is the amount of air that remains after maximal expiration (~____ L). - correct answer
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




✔Residual volume (RV)
|||||| |||||| ||||||




1.2


____ is the volume of air that can be expelled after normal tidal volume expiration (~____
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




L). - correct answer ✔Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||

, 2


_____ is the amount of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




deepest breath possible (~____ L) - correct answer ✔Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




5


______ is the volume of air that is exhaled after maximal inspiration (~___ L).Therefore, it's
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




___ + ___ + ___ - correct answer ✔Vital Capacity (VC)
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




5
ERV+ VT + IRV |||||| |||||| ||||||




____ is the maximum volume to which the lungs can be expanded(~___ L). Therefore, it's __
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




+ ___ - correct answer ✔Total lung capacity (TLC)
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




6
RV + VC |||||| ||||||




____ is the amount of air left in the lungs are a tidal volume breath (~___ L). Therefore, it's
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




___ + ___. - correct answer ✔Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




2.5
RV + ERV |||||| ||||||




is the volume of air that can be inhaled after a normal inspiration (~___ L) - correct answer
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




✔Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) |||||| |||||| ||||||




2.5


____ is the amount of air that can be drawn into the lungs after normal expiration (~____
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||




L). - correct answer ✔Inspiratory capacity (IC)
|||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| |||||| ||||||
