Study Notes
Respiratory System
- Involves three steps: pulmonary ventilation, gas exchange, gas transport
- Pulmonary ventilation: Movement of air in and out of the lungs
- Gas exchange: External respiration (lungs to blood) and internal respiration (blood to tissues) via diffusion
- Gas transport: Transport of O2 and CO2 in blood using circulatory system
Respiratory Volumes
- Tidal volume (TV): Normal breath in and out (around 500 ml)
- Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV): Max extra air inhaled after a normal breath (around 3000 ml)
- Expiratory reserve volume (ERV): Max extra air exhaled after a normal breath (around 1000 ml)
- Residual volume (RV): Air left in lungs after maximum exhalation (around 1200 ml)
Respiratory Capacities
- Combined lung volumes
- Inspiratory capacity (IC): Max air inhaled after normal expiration (around 3500 ml)
- Expiratory capacity (EC): Max air exhaled after normal inspiration (around 1500 ml)
- Vital capacity (VC): Max air expelled after a deep inspiration (around 4500 ml)
- Total lung capacity (TLC): Total air in lungs after maximum inhalation (around 5700 ml)
- VC and TLC vary due to factors like age, size, muscle strength, pregnancy, and pulmonary diseases
Spirometer
- Measures lung volume changes over time
