Volumes
(BLANK) are specific amounts of air in lungs
Volumes
(BLANK) are combinations of lung volumes
Lung Capacities
The four primary capacities are
Vital Capacity, Functional Residual Capacity, Inspiratory Capacity, and Total Lung Capacity
Trapped air over-inflates the lungs, making it hard to exhale completely or take quick, deep breaths.
COPD
automatic, passive expiration, ~40% inhale/60% exhale describes (BLANK)
Life Breathing
(BLANK) Volume the amount of air you breathe in or out during one normal, relaxed breath
Tidal
This is the maximum total volume of air you can forcibly exhale after taking the deepest breath possible. It represents the total amount of usable, movable air in your lungs.
Vital Capacity
The correct formula for Inspiratory Capacity is
IC = TV + IRV (Tidal Volume + Inspiratory Reserve Volume)
Muscle weakness limits deep inhalation and forced exhalation, causing quiet speech, short phrases, and weak coughs.
ALS
voluntary, controlled expiration, ~10% inhale/90% exhale describes (BLANK)
Speech Breathing
(BLANK) Volume is the maximum volume of air that can be inhaled deeply beyond a normal, restful inhalation
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
This is the amount of air remaining in your lungs at the end of a normal, relaxed exhalation. It acts as a buffer so your lungs don't completely deflate between normal breaths.
Functional Residual Capacity
The correct formula for Vital Capacity is
VC = TV + IRV + ERV (Tidal Volume + Inspiratory Reserve Volume + Expiratory Reserve Volume)
Chest rigidity reduces movement speed and expansion, leading to quiet, monotonous speech and uncoordinated breathing.
Parkinson's Disease
Speech requires (BLANK) action of multiple systems
Synchronized
(BLANK) Volume is the maximum volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after reaching the end of a normal, passive exhalation (tidal volume).
Expiratory Reserve Volume
This is the maximum volume of air you can inhale starting from the end of a normal, quiet exhalation.
Inspiratory Capacity
The correct formula for Functional Residual Capacity is
FRC = ERV + RV (Expiratory Reserve Volume + Residual Volume)
Tumors block airways or reduce usable lung tissue, causing chronic dyspnea, fatigue, and potential vocal nerve compression.
Lung Cancer
Longer utterances require (smaller/larger) inhalations
Larger
(BLANK) Volume cannot be voluntarily exhaled
Residual Volume
This is the absolute maximum volume of air your lungs can hold when fully expanded, including the air you can move plus the permanent safety air (residual volume) that prevents your lungs from collapsing.
Total Lung Capacity
The correct formula for Total Lung Capacity is
TLC = TV + IRV + ERV + RV (Tidal Volume + Inspiratory Reserve Volume + Expiratory Reserve Volume + Residual Volume)
Sudden airway narrowing makes exhalation difficult, causing wheezing, shortness of breath, and interrupted speech.
Asthma
Respiratory timing must match (BLANK) and (BLANK)
