| A | B |
|---|
| ventilation | exchange of gases in the lungs |
| respiration | exchange of gases in the alveoli/blood |
| lung compliance | how easily the alveoli/lung expands |
| expiratory flow rate | the volume of air expelled over the amount of time it takes to do so |
| total lung capacity | total air in the lung at maximum inhalation |
| tidal volume | relaxed breathing in and out |
| residual volume | amount of air in the lungs after maximum exhalation |
| vital capacity | amount of air measured from maximum inhalation to maximum exhalation |
| obstructive lung disease | decreases expiratory volumes causing an increased residual volume |
| restrictive lung disease | decreases all lung volumes |
| dyspnea | shortness of breathe |
| tachypnea | increased breathing rate |
| bradypnea | decreased breathing rate |
| hyperventilation | deep, rapid increased breathing rate |
| orthopnea | difficulty breathing in a recumbent position |
| apnea | no breathing during exhalation |
| apneusis | no breathing during inhalation |
| Cheyne-Stokes breaths | gradual increase in tidal volume followed by gradual decrease, then apnea |
