Study Notes
Respiratory System
- To access the Spirogram, you need to open a Pulmonary Function Testing program.
- The formula for calculating Pulmonary Ventilation (VE) is VE = TV x f, where TV is tidal volume and f is breathing frequency.
- The unit of measurement for Pulmonary Ventilation (VE) is liters per minute (L/min).
- The formula for calculating Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) is FEV1 = volume of air exhaled in the first second of forced expiration.
- The normal range for the percentage of vital capacity expired in 1 second (FEV1.0/FVC ratio) is 80-85%.
Regulation of Breathing
- Chemoreceptors monitor the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood to regulate breathing.
- Central chemoreceptors are located in the medulla oblongata.
- During hyperventilation, PO2 levels increase and PCO2 levels decrease.
- Hyperventilation shortens breath holding time.
Respiratory Volumes and Capacities
- Figure number 12 shows Respiratory Volumes and Capacities.
- Compliance is measured by the volume of Residual Volume (RV).
- The total amount of air a person can exchange through forced breathing is represented by the Vital Capacity (VC).
- The equation for pulmonary ventilation is VE = TV x f, where TV is tidal volume and f is breathing frequency.
- The typical amount of pulmonary ventilation is 5000 mL/minute.
- The volume of air left in the lungs after the most forceful expiration is the Residual Volume (RV).
- The equation for inspiratory capacity is IC = TLC - FRC, where IC is inspiratory capacity, TLC is total lung capacity, and FRC is functional residual capacity.
- The volume left in the lungs after a quiet expiration is the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC).
- The volume that can be forcibly inhaled beyond the tidal volume is the Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV).
- The equation for vital capacity is VC = IRV + TV + ERV, where VC is vital capacity, IRV is inspiratory reserve volume, TV is tidal volume, and ERV is expiratory reserve volume.
- The maximum volume of air that the lungs can hold is the Total Lung Capacity (TLC).
