AB Learning  ObjectivesThe  student  will  be  able  to  distinguish  between  the  conducting  zone  where  ventilation  occurs,  and  the  respiratory  parenchyma  where  diffusion  occurs.The  student  will  be  able  to  define  terms  for  normal  lung  volumes,  including  tidal  volume,  dead  space,  total  lung  capacity,  vital  capacity,  functional  residual  capacity,  inspiratory  and  expiratory  reserve  volumes,  and  residual  volume.The  student  will  be  able  to  describe  the  basic  procedures  used  in  routine  pulmonary  function  testing,  particularly  bench  top  spirometry.The  student  will  be  able  to  describe  two  techniques  to  quantify  residual  volume  and  functional  residual  capacity,  including  underlying  assumptions  of  each.The  student  will  be  able  to  explain  the  origin  and  maintenance  of  negative  intrapleural  pressures  that  are  caused  by  elastic  recoil  forces  within  normal  lung  tissues  and  the  chest  wall/diaphragm  complex.
