A
- Unusually shaped bone for unique purpose
- Provides protection and large surface area- muscles can attach
E.g. vertebrae
6

Q
What is vital capacity?
A
The maximum volume of air exhaled from the lungs following a maximum inhalation
9
Q
What is residual volume?
A
The volume of air left in the lungs after maximum inhalation
