Document Summary

Bpk 105 module 10 terminology and review questions. H+ concentration: hypoxia (section 15. 6): below-normal levels of oxygen in arterial blood. Bpk 105 module 10 review questions: describe the functions of the respiratory system. [8 marks: describe the pressure changes involved during inspiration and expiration. Include the changes in thoracic volume and specific muscle contractions during one breathing cycle at rest and during exercise. Briefly describe infant respiratory disease syndrome (irds) in premature infants and why it is critical to treat it effectively. Briefly define each of these volumes and capacities below the graph. Respiratory volumes are measures of how much air is moving during a certain part of ventilation. Tidal volume is the amount of air taken in or expelled during each breath. Inspiratory reserve volume is the amount of air that can be taken in beyond the resting tidal volume. Expiratory reserve volume is the amount of air that can be expired beyond the resting tidal volume.
