Front 1

Respiratory membrane

Back 1

The alveolar and capillary walls form the respiratory membrane also known as the alveolar/capillary membrane, where gasintrapleural exchange occurs between the air on the alveolar side and blood on the capillary side

Front 2

Intrapleural pressure

Back 2

Pressure in the plural cavity surrounding the lungs it is always slightly negative in relation to atmospheric pressureintrap

Front 3

Intrapulmonary pressure

Back 3

Pressure within the lungs always equalizes the atmospheric pressure

Front 4

Tidal volume

Back 4

The degree of chest expansion during normal breathing is minimal requiring less energy expenditure. In adults approximately 500 mL of air is inspired and expired with each breath this is known as title volume

Front 5

Lung compliance

Back 5

The expense ability or stretchability of lung tissue, plays a significant role in the ease a ventilation

Front 6

Atelectasis

Back 6

Collapse of a portion of the lung

Front 7

Atelectasis

Back 7

Collapse of a portion of the lung

Front 8

Lung recoilp

Back 8

The continual tendency of the lungs to collapse away from the chest wall. Necessary for expiration

Front 9

Surfactant

Back 9

A lipo protein produced by specialized alveolar cells, acts like detergent, reducing the surface tension of Aveolar fluid

Front 10

Diffusion

Back 10

The movement of gases or other particles from an area of greater pressure or concentration to an area of low pressure or concentration

Front 11

Partial pressure

Back 11

The pressure exerted by each individual gas in the mixture according to its concentration in the mixture
