What is the difference between Intrapulmonary and Intrapleural?
Transpulmonary pressure
If your chest expands you would predict the intrapulmonary pressure to?
Decrease
When the pressure at the bottom of a submerged object is less that the pressure at the top of the submerged object a buoyant force is produced true or false?
true
At the center of a tornado is an extremely low pressure area true or false?
True.
Is it true or false that Boyle's law states that volume varies inversely with pressure.?
It is true.
What is the difference between Intrapulmonary and Intrapleural?
Transpulmonary pressure
What is Intrapulmonary pressure?
The intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure in the alveoli. Intrapulmonary pressure rises and falls with the phases of breathing, but it ALWAYS eventually equalizes with the atmospheric pressure.
Is intrapleural pressure 4 mm Hg less than the pressure in the alveoli?
true.
What pressure keeps lungs inflated?
Intrathoracic pressure
Definition of intrapulmonary pressure?
Intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure within the air passage and the alveoli of the lungs.
When is intrapleural pressure most negative?
Intrapleural pressure is most negative at the completion of inspiration.
How is intrapleural pressure maintained?
Intrapleural pressure is the pressure difference between the lungs and the pleural cavity of the lungs.
When intrapulmonary pressure drops below atmospheric pressure what is able to occur?
Inspiration occurs when the intrapulmonary pressure decreases to below atmospheric pressure
The pressure in the alveoli is known as ?
intrapleural pressure
What would occur when he atmosheric pressure is higher than intrapulmonary pressure?
When the atmospheric pressure is higher than intrapulmonary pressure pressure, inspiration will not take place.
What happens to the intrapulmonary pressure when intrapulmonary volume increases?
Pressure increases as volume increases, granted the container stays the same.
What is the pressure inside the lungs called?
Intrapulmonary pressure
