Lab: terms Flashcards
Number of breaths per minute
Respiratory rate
The amount of air inspired or expired during normal quiet breathing or volume of one breath
(avg. 400 mL in women – 500 mL in men)
Tidal volume
The amount of air inspired or expired per minute during normal quiet breathing
Calculated by = (Tidal volume (x) Respiratory rate per minute)
Respiratory minute volume
The maximum amount of air that can be forcefully expired after a maximal inspiration.
Calculated by = (Inspiratory RV + Tidal Volume + Expiratory RV)
(avg. 3100 mL in women – 4800 mL in men)
Vital capacity
The amount of air that can be forcefully expired following a normal expiration.
(avg. 700 mL in women – 1200 mL in men)
Expiratory Reserve volume
The amount of air that can be forcefully inspired above and beyond that taken in during a normal inspiration.
(avg. 1900 mL in women – 3100 mL in men)
