|
this is the volume of an individual breath during quiet breathing. It averages about 500 ml.
|
Tidal volume
|
|
|
this is the volume of the lungs after a maximal expiration
|
residual volume
|
|
|
this is the volume of the lungs after a maximal voluntary inspiration
|
total lung capacity
|
|
|
this is the difference between Total Lung Capacity (TLC) and Residual Volume (RV); i.e, it is the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled starting at full lung inflation.
|
vital capacity
|
|
|
this is the lung volume at the end of a normal expiration, when the muscles of respiration are completely relaxed
|
functional resudual volume
|
|
|
A condition characterized by dilation and destruction of alveolar walls; it produces airflow obstruction as determined by pulmonary function testing.
|
Emphysema
|
|
|
A clinical condition marked by airway inflammation and excess mucus secretion, manifested by couth and sputum production. It may cause narrowing of the airways and increase their resistance
|
bronchitis
|
|
|
a condition characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness, which results in reversible increases in bronchial smooth muscle tone, and variable amounts of inflammation of the bronchial mucosa
|
asthma
|
|
|
disease characterized by dilation of the alveolar spaces and destruction of the alveolar walls. With their loss, much of the elastic recoil of the lung is also lost.
|
emphysema
|
|
|
this is the volume of the lungs after a maximal voluntary inspiration
|
total lung capacity
|
|
|
volume of air that can be exhaled from the lungs during a forced expiration following a maximal inspiration.
|
forced vital capacity
|
|
|
Your lungs' efficiency at delivering oxygen and other gases to your bloodstream is known as your
|
diffusion capacity
