Document Summary
Pulmonary physiology of exercise 2: pulmonary structure & ness. Pressure is representative of the distending pressure or the work that the respiratory muscles need to do to generate a given volume and volume is the mechanical event (movement of air into and out of the lungs) So at higher lung volumes have an increase in inspiratory elastic work of breathing (elastic recoil forces and the pressures that are required to work against them increase as the elastic structure stretches) Mechanics of ventilation: static lung volumes & capacities. Have tidal volume expansion which is the difference between eilv and eelv which is positioned on linear portion of the pressure- volume curve where both the elastic and resistive work of breathing is minimal. Ic = difference between the volume at the end of a normal breath (eelv) and tlc. Vc = which is the volume when our lungs are completely full to when our lungs are completely empty.
