 Ideal Gas |
Is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It is a good approximation of the behavior of many gases under many conditions.
|
 Boyle's Gas Law |
States that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship, when temperature is held constant.
|
 Charles' Gas Law |
(also known as the law of volumes) is an experimental gas law that describes how gases tend to expand when heated.
|
 Dalton's Gas Law |
States that in a mixture of non-reacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
|
 Henry's Gas Law |
States that at a constant temperature, the amount of a gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
|
|
Gas's Solubility
|
Relationship with temperature is very similar to the reason that vapor pressure increases with temperature. Increased temperature causes an increase in kinetic energy.
|
 Quiet Expiration |
Is a passive process, in which the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles relax, and the elastic lungs and thoracic wall recoil inward.
|
 Intrapleural Pressure |
Becomes less negative, the transpulmonary pressure decreases, and the lungs passively recoil. The diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax, decreasing the volume of the thoracic cavity.
|
|
Compliance
|
Is the ability of the lungs and thorax to stretch which is essential to normal respiration.
|
|
Dyspnea
|
Shortness of breath, or breathlessness or breathing disorder is the feeling or feelings associated with impaired breathing.
|
 Apnea |
Characterized by pauses in breathing or instances of shallow breathing during sleep. Each pause, called "apnea", can last for a few seconds to several minutes.
|
 Carbon Monoxide (CO) |
Is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to hemoglobic animals when encountered in concentrations above about 35 ppm
|
 Carbamino Compounds |
Refers to a compound composed by the addition of CO2 with a free amino group in an amino acid or a protein, such hemoglobin forming carbaminohemoglobin.
|
 Rate Law |
Equation for a chemical reaction is an equation that links the reaction rate with concentrations or pressures of reactants and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial reaction orders).
|
 Fetal Hemoglobin |
(also hemoglobin F, HbF, or α2γ2) is the main oxygen transport protein in the human fetus during the last seven months of development in the uterus and persists in the newborn until roughly 6 months old.
