  1. 1. Acronym for the volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled in 1 second
  2. 3. The handheld device used to measure the force of expiration to check for obstructed airways
  3. 6. A property of the lungs that determines the inherent, unchanging characteristics of the lungs
  4. 7. Acronym for the volume of air in the lungs after forceful inhalation
  5. 8. Acronym for the volume of air still in the lungs after a forceful exhalation; cannot be exhaled
  6. 9. Disorganized flow when air moves in random directions in no particular pattern
  7. 11. IRV + Vt; volume of air inhaled during a forced inhalation
  8. 14. A property of the lungs that determines how quickly they're moving air
  9. 15. A property of gas measured as mass divided by volume that affects how much friction it faces in the respiratory system
  10. 16. An example of a chronic obstructive disease that might decrease the FEV1/FVC ratio; might require an inhaler
  11. 17. the percentage that serves as the benchmark for a healthy FEV1/FVC ratio
  12. 19. ERV + Vt; volume of air exhaled during a forceful exhalation
  13. 20. The type of flow recognized by movement in an organized, directional way

  1. 1. Equal to pressure gradient over resistance, how air moves in a period of time
  2. 2. Equal to flow rate x resistance, the differences in pressure over an area
  3. 4. IRV + Vt + ERV + RV; the total overall volumetric capacity of the lungs
  4. 5. IRV + Vt + ERV; volume of air that can be exhaled forcefully
  5. 10. Acronym for the volume of air in the lungs after a forceful exhalation
  6. 12. The volume of a normal (not forced) inhalation during restful breathing
  7. 13. Equal to flow rate over pressure gradient, how much friction air experiences traveling in the respiratory tract
  8. 18. ERV + RV; acronym for the volume of air remaining after a nonforced exhalation
