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 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 |
Regarding pulmonary capacities, the maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration can also be defined as:
1. | Total volume of air a person can inspire or expire after a normal inspiration or expiration |
2. | Volume of air that will remain in the lungs after a normal expiration |
3. | Maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration |
4. | Total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of a forced inspiration |
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 |
