Respiration Pulmonary ventilation (breathing): movement of air into and out of the lungs External respiration: O 2 and CO 2 exchange between the lungs and the blood Transport: O 2 and CO 2 in the blood Internal respiration: O 2 and CO 2 exchange between systemic blood vessels and tissues Respiratory system Circulatory system

Respiratory Volumes Used to assess a person’s respiratory status –Tidal volume (TV) –Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) –Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) –Residual volume (RV)
Using a Wet Spirometer
Respiratory Volumes and Capacities Normal breathing moves about 500 ml of air with each breath (tidal volume [TV]) Factors Affecting Respiratory Capacity: Size, Gender, Age, Condition Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) –Amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled –Approximately 1200 ml Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) –Amount of air that can be taken in forcibly over the tidal volume –Usually ml
Residual volume –Air remaining in lung after expiration –About 1200 ml Vital capacity –The total amount of exchangeable air –Vital capacity = TV + IRV + ERV –Dead space volume ~ 150 ml Air that remains in conducting zone and never reaches alveoli Functional volume –Air that actually reaches the respiratory zone –Usually about 350 ml Respiratory Volumes and Capacities
