A measure of the amount of air a person inhales during a normal breath is:
1. inspiratory reserve volume | 2. vital capacity |
3. total lung capacity | 4. tidal volume |
The value of which of the following is normally the highest in normal physiological conditions?
1. | Residual volume | 2. | Expiratory reserve volume |
3. | Functional residual capacity | 4. | Inspiratory reserve volume |
Under normal physiological conditions, the maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration in a healthy human being is about:
1. | 2300 ml | 2. | 3500 ml |
3. | 4600 ml | 4. | 5800 ml |
Which of the following equations regarding the calculation of pulmonary capacities would be correct?
1. IC = IRV – TV | 2. EC = VC – IRV |
3. VC = ERV + IRV | 4. TLC = VC – RV |
The sum of expiratory reserve volume [ERV] and residual volume [RV] corresponds to:
1. Expiratory capacity | 2. Vital capacity |
3. Functional residual capacity | 4. Total lung capacity |
The amount of air that remains in a person's lungs after fully exhaling is known as:
1. tidal volume | 2. expiratory reserve volume |
3. vital capacity | 4. residual volume |
1. | It is the maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration. |
2. | It includes ERV, TV, RV and IRV |
3. | It can also be defined as the maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration. |
4. | It can be calculated as the difference between total lung capacity and residual volume. |
I: | A resting respiratory rate of 12- 16 breaths per minute. |
II: | A minute ventilation of 6000 – 8000 ml. |
1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Statement I: | Expiratory Capacity is the total volume of air a person can expire after a normal inspiration. |
Statement II: | Functional Residual Capacity is the volume of air that will remain in the lungs after a forceful maximal expiration. |
