|
Define Pulmonary ventilation
|
a technical term for what most of us call breathing
|
|
Inspiration (4 steps)
|
1. Diaphragm contracts and descends making the thoracic cavity longer
2. Contraction of the intercostal muscles pulls the anterior end of each rib up and out. 3. Inspiration elevates the sternum and enlarges the thorax from the front to thr back and from side to side 4. As the size of the thorax increases, the intrapleural (intrathoracic) and intrapulmonic pressures decrease and inspiration occurs. |
|
Volumes of air exchanges in pulmonary ventilation:
___measures volumes of air exchanges in breathing |
spirometer
|
|

2. expiratory reserve volume 3. inspiratory reserve volume 4. residual volume |

|
