PHYSIOLOGY OF
CARDIOVASCULAR AND
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Travels down the throat through the larynx (voice box) and
trachea (windpipe).
EXPIRATION
Passive process
Elastic recoil of the lungs due to Relaxation of diaphragm and inter costal
muscle.
Positive pressure created in lungs
CONTROL OF RESPIRATION
Control of Inspiration and Expiration by Medulla oblongata
LUNG VOLUMES
The volume of air normally exhaled or inhaled with each breath during
quiet breathing is called TIDAL VOLUME (500ml).
The additional volume of air that can be taken into the lungs beyond
the normal tidal inhalation is called INSPIRATORY RESERVE
VOLUME (3000ml).
The additional volume of air that can be let out beyond the normal
tidal exhalation is called EXPIRATORY RESERVE VOLUME (1100).
The volume of air that remains in the lungs after a forceful expiratory
effort is called RESIDUAL VOLUME (1200ml).
LUNG CAPACITIES
The INSPIRATORY CAPACITY is the maximum amount of air that can
be inhaled after a normal tidal exhalation (TV + IRV) (3500ml).
