výdechové

Výdechové is a Czech adjective derived from the noun výdech, meaning exhalation or expiration. It is used to describe things related to the expiratory phase of breathing and is formed by adding the adjectival ending -ové, agreeing with the noun it modifies.

In medical and scientific contexts, výdechové is common in phrases that refer to processes, structures, or measurements connected with exhalation. Examples include výdechové svaly (expiratory muscles), výdechové proudění vzduchu (expiratory airflow), and výdechové objemy (expiratory volumes) as used in spirometry. The term serves to distinguish the expelling of air during breathing from the inspiratory (inspiratorní, inspirační) phase.

The usage of výdechové is predominantly found in physiology, medicine, and biosciences, and it may appear in descriptions of anatomy, ventilation, or respiratory measurements. In some contexts, more general or alternative formulations such as expiratorní or expirační may be used, especially in technical or engineering texts that discuss ventilation or gas exchange. Nevertheless, výdechové remains a valid, specific descriptor for elements tied to the exhalation process.
