|
Torque |
Twisting of a shaft while not permitting one end to move. |
|
|
Capacities |
Combination of volumes. |
|
|
Tidal Volume (TV) |
Volume of air exchanged in one cycle of respiration. |
|
|
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) |
Volume of air that can be inhaled after a tidal inspiration. |
|
|
Expiratiory Reserve Volume (ERV) |
Volume of air that can be expired following passive, tidal expiration. (aka Resting Lung Volume). |
|
|
Residual Volume (RV) |
Volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximum exhalation. |
|
|
Vital Capacity (VC) |
The volume of air that can be inhaled following maximal exhalation.
(VC= IRV+TV+ERV) |
|
|
Functional Residual Capacity |
The volume of air in the body at the end of passive exhalation
(FRC= ERV+RV) |
|
|
Total Lung Capacity (TLC) |
(TLC= IRV + TV+ ERV+RV) |
|
|
Inspiratory Capacity (IC) |
The maxmium inspiratory volume possible after tidal expiration (IC= TV+IRV) |
|
|
Subglottal pressure |
The pressure below the vocal folds.` |
|
|
Alveoloar (pulmonic) pressure |
Air pressure measured at the level of the alveolous. |
|
|
Pleural (intrapleural) pressure |
Pressure measured within the pleural lining of the lungs. |
|
|
Negative alveolar pressure |
Increased lung volume |
|
|
Postive alveolar pressure |
Relaxing the musculature after inspiration. |
|
|
External Intercoastels |
Paired thin fibers that provides unity and mobility. They originate lower boarder of the 1st rib through the upper boarder of the intercoastels. |
|
|
Internal Intercoastels |
Involved in expiration |
