What is the functional residual capacity FRC composed of?
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) + Residual Volume (RV)
How do you do capacity?
It's the inspiratory reserve volume plus the tidal volume plus the expiratory reserve volume
What are the volumes that makes up vital capacity?
Expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, you amateurs
The amount of air that moves when you inhale or exhale is referred to as?
vital capacity
How is vital capacity determined?
Vital capacity is the amount of air you can breathe out after a maximum inhale. When it comes to determining vital capacity it’s basically calculated by the inspiratory reserve volume in addition to the expiratory reserve volume.
What are the three volumes that make up vital capacity?
Expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, you amateurs
What is the approximate volume of inspiratory reserve volume?
inspiratory reserve volume= expiratory reserve volume + Tidal Volume - Vital capacity
Any lung disease that reduces the forced expiratory volume FEV but does not significantly affect the vital capacity is categorized purely as an?
obstructive lung disorder
What does TV ERV and VC mean?
TV means tidal volume, ERV means expiratory reserve volume, and VC means vital capacity.
calculate the IRV of an individual with a vital capacity of 4400 ml an expiratory reserve volumne of 1300 ml and a tidal volume of 500ml?
2600 ml
Why does the forced expiratory volume percentage decrease as the radius of the airways is decreased?
Reducing the radius of the airways will affect the capacity of the lungs to exhale the maximum amount of air
The largest volume of air that can be exhaled after a maximal inspiration is?
The maximum amount of air you can exhale after normal exhalation is fittingly called the expiratory reserve volume. The actual amount of air can vary from person to person, depending on size the of thoracic cavity and fitness level.
