REPSIRATORY DEPTH Depth- amplitude of each respiratory movement The depth of ventilation refers to the amount of air that is inhaled and exhaled. The amount of air inhaled and exhaled in one cycle is called the tidal volume. The more the chest cavity expands‚ the greater the depth of the ventilation. Full expansion of the chest wall with full relaxation on exhalation is a good indicator of adequate depth of breathing and adequate tidal volume. Many books will try and apply numbers in milliliters

EXAM 1 NOTES The actual pressure at a given position is called the absolute pressure‚ and it is measured relative to absolute vacuum (i.e.‚ absolute zero pressure). Most pressure-measuring devices‚ however‚ are calibrated to read zero in the atmosphere (Fig. 3–2)‚ and so they indicate the difference between the absolute pressure and the local atmospheric pressure. This difference is called the gage pressure. Pgage = Pabs - Patm The pressure at a point in a fluid has the same magnitude in all
