Alveolar volume is lung capacity. Alveoli are the air sacs in the bronchioles. How much air the lungs hold during both inspiration and expiration is lung capacity which is alveolar volume. Hope this helps

The volume of air available for gas exchange per minute is called what?
alveolar ventilation.
How do you get alveolar ventilation rate?
AVR=(Tidal Volume-Dead Space)* Respiratory Rate(or Frequency)
What are the canals of Lambert in the human body?
Lambert canals are located in the lung and provide, along with the pores of Kohn, collateral ventilation at the level of the very distal bronchioles but more in the alveolar system.
Is Alveolar recoil lead to a decrease in intr-alveolar pressure?
NO
Rapid increase of organic acid in the body?
Rapid increase of organic acids in the body you would expect to observe the increase in your heart rate. You would also observe increased alveolar ventilation, decreased blood pH and increased in blood pressure.
What is the best indication of the adequacy of alveolar ventilation?
PaCO2.
What is the difference between pulmonary and alveolar ventilation?
nothing
In COPD the PaCO2 will increase but the ventilation will not increase why?
ecause of air trapping and ineffective alveolar ventilation
What is contributing to the decreased alveolar ventilation?
Alveolar ventilation may be decreased by the following factors 1.decrease in pulmonary ventlation 2.high altitude 3.blockage of the respiratory system
What is the volume of gas that reaches the respiratory zone of the lungs called?
alveolar ventilation
The volume of air available for gas exchange per minute is called what?
alveolar ventilation.
How do you get alveolar ventilation rate?
AVR=(Tidal Volume-Dead Space)* Respiratory Rate(or Frequency)
What is function of ventilation?
The main function of the pulmonary vein is to carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. Then it is transferred to the aorta, which takes the blood to the head and arms.
What happens if the neural connections between the pneumotaxic center and apneustic center are severed?
Decreased pulmonary and alveolar ventilation.
Is alveolar ventilation the same as alveolar respiration?
If we think of the lungs as trees branching out, the alveoli are at the end. They are made of up clusters of small delicate sacs. This is where the oxygen you breathe in seeps across into the blood and the carbon dioxide (a "waste product" of all the things the body makes and does) comes out of the blood (and is then breathed out). It is the delicate structure and nearness to the blood vessels that allow this passage of oxygen in and carbon dioxide out. Pretty cool!
Ventilation refers to the process by which?
air is moving in and out of the lungs
What is the function of alveolar macrophage in the lungs?
function of alveolar macrophagesThe function of alveolar macrophage in the lungs is to remove dust particles and other debris from alveolar spaces. -SheshiAveolar macrophages work to break up surfactanct in the aveoli which exists to decrease surface tension in the lungs. If there is a disorder where the macrophage does not function correctly, such as in PAP, the surfactant will not be broken up and decreased ventilation will occur resulting in less oxygen delivery.
