Respiratory System

5. the maximum amount of air that the lungs can hold after maximal inhalation. It's calculated by adding together the four primary lung volumes: tidal volume, inspiratory reserve, expiratory reserve, and residual volume
7. the amount of air that can be exhaled after a normal breath
9. the volume of each breath as measured during inspiration, expiration, or averaged for the entire respiratory cycle
13. the amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal exhalation
14. behavior of gases degree to which gas dissolves in water. Proportional to: its partial pressure and its solubility in water.
15. the percentage of hemoglobin in red blood cells that is bound to oxygen

1. alveoli are located within the lungs. The diameter of these airways is affected by the pressure of the alveolar gas and the tension tissue.
2. Alveolar surface tension (surfactant). Pulmonary compliance distensibility of elastic tissue.
3. the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal breath
4. pleural cavity is the space between the lungs and the chest wall,.It is normally slightly less than atmospheric pressure, known as negative pressure.
6. Intrapulmonary pressure increases, lung volume decreases, and air moves out of lungsthe
8. Lung volume increases, intrapulmonary pressure decreases, and air rushes into the lungs
10. the maximal volume of air that can be expired following maximum inspiration
11. behavior of gases exerts its partial pressure as a function of the percentage
12. Pressure and volume bigger surface area decrease pressure inverse relationship
