Question

1. a. The relationship between pressure and volume is known as Law. b. Indicate the relationship with arrows below 1. 1 volume = pressure 2. volume = pressure pressure 2. Intrapulmonary pressure (for ) during inspiration, 3. What pressure is always negative and helps to keep the lungs inflated? 4. a. If transpulmonary pressure equals zero, what will happen to the lungs? b. This is known as a/an

Answer 1

1. a.The relationship between pressure and volume is known as Boyle's law

b. 1.Increase in volume = Decreases pressure

2.Decrease in volume = Increases pressure

2.Intrapulmonary pressure decreases during inspiration

3.Intrapleural pressure is always negative and helps to keep the lungs inflated

4 a. If transpulmonary pressure equals zero (alveolar pressure = intrapleural pressure) , the lungs collapse as a result of inherent elastic recoil.

b . This is known as pnemothorax
