Anderson - Introduction to Breathing, Volumes, Respiratory Cycle
Instructor(s): Lisa Anderson
Session Objectives:
- Discuss basic lung functions.
- Identify the forces that generate the negative intra-pleural pressure
- Describe the pressures that permit air to flow in and out of the lung.
- Specifically, be able to diagram the tidal volume, intrapleuralpressure, air flow and alveolar pressure during a normal breathing cycle
- Draw a pressure volume curve for inspiration and expiration
- Define hysteresis
- Predict the direction that the lung and chest wall will move if air is introduced into the pleural cavity (pneumothorax).
