Flashcard 1: Obstructive lung diseases are characterized by a(n) _____ total lung capacity
Answer: increased
Flashcard 2: The volume that moves into the lung with each quiet inspiration is the _____
Answer: tidal volume
Flashcard 3: What equation may be used to calculate the airflow (Q) given the pressure and resistance of the airway? _____
Answer: Q = P/R
Flashcard 4: The major site of airway resistance is the _____
Answer: medium-sized bronchi
Flashcard 5: Obstructive lung diseases are characterized by a(n) _____ residual volume and functional residual capacity
Answer: increased
Flashcard 6: Emphysema is characterized by loss of _____, which inhibits the ability to exhale air from the alveoli (air trapping)
Answer: elastic recoil
Flashcard 7: How does hyperventilation affect ICP?
Answer: low PCO2 leads to less cerebral blood flow, reducing ICP
