  54. define ventilation
    exchange of air, inspiration and expiration in the lungs, activated by diaphram; pulmonary circulation is low-pressure system
  55. during inspiration what happens to the pressure
    as the thorasic space increases, the pressure in the pleural space is lower than the outside atmospheric presure, air enters the lung until the intrapulmonary (inside the lung) gas is equal to the atmospheric pressure
  56. during expiration, what happens to the pressure in the lung
    the repiratory muscles relax andthe thoracic dimensions decrease, increasing intrapulmonary pressure relative to the outside atmospheric pressure - air flows to outside the body

    phrenic nerve
  58. patients with airflow obstruction (bronchoconstriction in asthma or emphysema) what happens to their lungs
