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
