Diseases 2
Term
Explanation
hyperventilation
increased aeration of the lungs which
reduces carbon dioxide levels in the body
and disrupts homeostasis
spirometry
a measurement of the amount of air
taken into and expelled from the lungs
vital capacity
the largest volume of air that can be
exhaled after maximum inspiration
(if vital capacity is reduced, this means
there is a loss of functioning lung tissue).
acute respiratory failure
inability of the lungs to function properly
hypoxia or anoxia
loss of oxygen
Spirometry
