pressure within the pleural cavity	intrapleural pressure	22%
hypothetical pressure of a particular gas if it alone occupied the volume of the mixture at constant temperature	partial pressure	22%
a person's maximum speed of expiration	peak expiratory flow	17%

opposition to flow caused by forces of friction in respiratory tract	airways resistance	6%
measure of the transfer of gas from air in the lung into erythrocytes in lung blood vessels	diffusing capacity	6%
measure of the lung's ability to stretch and expand	pulmonary compliance	6%
