Turn the Volume Up
This is the amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled.
Inspiratory Capacity
This is the most abundant element in the atmosphere.
Nitrogen
This is the term used if the person has increased respiration.
Hyperpnea
This condition is due to low oxygen content in the blood.
Hypoxemia
This chamber of the heart has the lowest pressure (=0 mmHg) and receives deoxygenated blood from the vena cava.
Right Atrium
Volumes and capacities are measured using this laboratory equipment.
Spirometer
This is the ratio between the air in the alveoli and the blood going to the pulmonary capillary.
V/Q Ratio or Ventilation/Perfusion Ratio
Hyperventilation can lead to this disorder.
Alkalosis/Respiratory alkalosis
This condition is due to the low oxygen in the tissues.
Hypoxia
This organ works with the lungs to maintain the acid-base balance by regulating the major alkali in the body.
Kidneys
The volume of lung that cannot be measured.
Residual volume
This mismatch is caused by the mixture of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood.
Shunting
The normal range of respiratory rate is.
12 to 20 cycles per minute
This group of condition refers to the increased resistance in the airway.
Obstructive Lung Disease
This bacterium is the cause of the "white plague" and is endemic in the Philippines.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
The amount of air that is normally retained in the lungs during rest.
Functional Reserve Capacity
Volatile acid
The part of the brain that influence breathing.
Pons and Medulla
This poisoning causes hypoxia while the patient's blood is filled with oxygen.
Carbon monoxide poisining
This inflammatory condition makes the bronchiolar smooth muscle to be hyperreactive giving the characteristic "wheezing" sound during exhilation.
Asthma
The maximum amount of air that can be expired after a forceful inspiration.
Vital Capacity
When a person is standing, this lung zone occurs at the highest portion of the lung.
Zone I (arterial pressure<venous pressure<alveolar pressure)
This organ detects oxygen levels in the blood.
Carotid body
This condition is characterized by the infection of the alveoli.
Pneumonia
This protein is destroyed in cases of emphysema causing the recoil of the alveoli to fail.
Elastin
