Measures of Pulmonary Function
Across
- 1. three words, amount of extra air inhaled — above tidal volume — during a forceful breath in.
- 4. three words, volume of air present in the lungs at the end of passive expiration
- 5. two words, the greatest volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after taking the deepest possible breath.
- 6. one word, constriction of the airways
- 9. three words, measures how much air a person can exhale during a forced breath
- 14. Two words,the amount of air that moves in or out of the lungs with each respiratory cycle.
- 16. one word, a respiratory disease marked by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing
- 17. one word, a category of pulmonary function that does depend on time
- 18. characterises certain types of lung diseases that involve stiffness of the lungs which prevent expansion
- 19. one word, a category of pulmonary function that does NOT depend on time
- 20. three words, maximum volume of air the lungs can accommodate or sum of all volume compartments
Down
- 2. three words, a person's maximum speed of expiration
- 3. Two words,volume of air remaining in the lungs after maximum forceful expiration.
- 7. three words, amount of extra air — above-normal volume — exhaled during a forceful breath out.
- 8. three words, amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from your lungs after taking the deepest breath possible
- 10. one word, indicated by a low FEV1/FVC ratio
- 11. two words, indicated by an FEV1/FVC ratio that is higher than 0.8
- 12. two words, sum of the tidal volume and the inspiratory reserve volume
- 13. three words, a device that measures peak expiratory flow
- 15. one word, expansion of the airways
