Respiratory disordersare Respiratory disordersare classified as obstructive or restrictive.  Obstructive disorders are characterized by the limitation of airflowthrough the lung.  Restrictive disorders are caused by lossof lung flexibility, thereby decreasing lung capacity.  These disorders are diagnosed by spirography, the measurement of lung capacity and air flow rates. Complete the following table of lung volume and capacities. Full Name of the Volume or Capacity    Abbreviation    Definition    Normal, average resting values Male    Female TV IRV ERV RV IC FRC FVC Total Lung Capacity    TLC    TLC = IRV + TV + ERV + RV    6,000 mL    4,200 mL References: Measurement    Describe the pathophysiological changes in these measurements in: Obstructive Pulmonary Disease    Restrictive Pulmonary Disease TLC = Total Lung Capacity FVC = Forced Vital Capacity FEV1 = Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second FEV1 / FVC Ratio Pulmonary thromboembolism is a common vascular disorder affecting the pulmonary circulation system.  Describe pathogenesis and identify preventative measures prescribed to reduce the risk of this disorder.
