lung disease Flashcards
1
Q
What is tidal volume?
A
= volume of air, that enters and leaves the lungs at normal resting breath (0.5dm^3)
2
Q
What is vital capacity?
A
= max volume of air we can inhale and exhale
3
Q
What is residual volume?
A
= volume of air that permanently stays in lungs after the stronger exhalation
4
Q
What is total lung capactiy?
A
= vital capacity + residual capacity
5
Q
What is pulmonary ventilation?
A
= tidal volume x ventillation rate
= dm^3 min-1
= dm^3
= min-1
