Question 1

Tidal volume

Answer 1

It is the amount of air that can be inhaled or exhaled during one respiratory cycle.

Question 2

Inspiratory Reserve Volume

Answer 2

It is the amount of air that can be forcibly inhaled after a normal tidal volume. IRV is usually kept in reserve, but is used during deep breathing

Question 3

Expiratory Reserve Volume

Answer 3

It is the volume of air that can be exhaled forcibly after exhalation of normal tidal volume

Question 4

Vital Capacity

Answer 4

It is the total amount of air exhaled after maximal inhalation. VC indicates ability to breathe deeply and cough, reflecting inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength.

Answer 6

Normal value in male: 3000ml in female: 1900ml

Question 7

NORMAL VALUE:

ERV

Answer 7

Normal value in male: 1100ml in female: 700ml

Question 8

NORMAL VALUE:

VC

Answer 8

Normal value in male: 4600ml in female: 3100ml

Question 9

Lung Compliance

Answer 9

Refers to how the lungs expand for each unit rise in transpulmonary pressure. In a typical adult person, the total compliance of both lungs is approximately 200 milliliters of air per centimeter of water transpulmonary pressure. In other words, every time the transpulmonary pressure rises by 1 centimeter of water, the lung capacity expands by 200 milliliters in 10 to 20 seconds.

Question 10

___________ muscles contract during inhalation, causing the lung volume to expand and the thoracic cavity to enlarge.

Answer 10

The diaphragm and intercostal
