1.
The total volume of air moved into and out of the lungs per minute.
2.
The additional volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal exhalation.
3.
The additional volume of air that can be inhaled forcefully after a normal inhalation.
4.
The volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximal exhalation preventing lung collapse.
5.
The sum of residual volume and expiratory reserve volume representing the air remaining in the lungs after normal exhalation.
6.
The total amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximal inhalation includes tidal volume inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume.
7.
The maximum volume of air the lungs can hold including vital capacity and residual volume.
8.
States that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of each individual gas in the mixture.
9.
Describes how the amount of a gas that dissolves in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure and solubility in the liquid.
10.
A by-product of carbon dioxide transport in the blood crucial for maintaining pH balance.
11.
An enzyme that catalyzes the reversible reaction between carbon dioxide and water to form carbonic acid.
12.
A condition where blood pH drops below the normal range due to excess carbon dioxide or hydrogen ions.
13.
A condition where blood pH rises above the normal range due to low levels of carbon dioxide or hydrogen ions.
14.
Sensory receptors that detect changes in the levels of oxygen carbon dioxide and pH in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid regulating respiratory rate.
15.
Sensors located in the aorta and carotid arteries that detect changes in blood pressure.
16.
Receptors in the lungs that respond to changes in lung volume helping to regulate breathing by preventing overinflation of the lungs.
17.
Groups of neurons located in the brainstem that control the rate and depth of breathing.
18.
Specialized baroreceptors that monitor blood pressure changes in the carotid arteries and aorta helping to regulate respiration and heart rate.
19.
Stretch reflexes that prevent overexpansion of the lungs by inhibiting inspiration when the lungs are fully inflated.
20.
Hemoglobin bound to oxygen the primary form of oxygen transport in the blood.
21.
Hemoglobin bound to carbon dioxide one of the forms in which carbon dioxide is transported in the blood.
22.
The movement of chloride ions into red blood cells as bicarbonate ions move out.
23.
The phenomenon where an increase in carbon dioxide concentration and acidity reduces hemoglobin affinity for oxygen.
24.
A type of hemoglobin found in fetuses that has a higher affinity for oxygen than adult hemoglobin.
