Atelectasis - Inability to adequately fill with air during inhalation - incomplete lung expansion or the collapse of alveoli - prevents pressure changes and the gas exchange by diffusion of the lungs, Pulmonary Ventilation - Movement of air into and out of the lungs, Lung Compliance - Refers to the ways with which the lungs can be inflated and effects lung volume, Respiration - Involves gas exchange between the atmospheric air in the alveoli and the blood in capillaries, Airway Resistance - Result of any impediment or obstruction that air meets as it moves through the air way - any process that changes the bronchial diameter or width, Perfusion - Process by which oxygenated capillary blood passes through body tissues, Ventilation - Process of moving respiratory gases into and out of lungs, Internal Respiration - Exchange of oxygen and CO2 between the circulating blood and tissue cells, Diffusion - Movement of gases or particles from areas of higher pressure/concentration to lower pressure/concentration, Vital Capacity - Max amount of air exhaled after max inspiration, Tidal Volume - Total amount of air inhaled and exhaled with one breath, Residual Volume - The amount of air left in the lungs at max expiration, Forced Vital Capacity - Max amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after full inspiration, Total Lung Capacity - The amount of air contained within the lungs at max inspiration, Peak Expiratory Flow Rate - Max flow attained during FVC, Forced Expiratory Volume - Amount of air exhaled at a specific time interval - in the first, second, and third seconds after full inspiration,
