expiratory reserve volume
residual voulme

Question 9

Pulmonary volume

volume of air inspired or expired with each normal breath

Answer 9

tidal volume

Question 10

pulmonary volume

extra volume of air that can be inspired over and above the normal tidal volume when a person inspires with full force

Answer 10

expiratory reserve volume

Question 11

pulmonary volume

volume of air remaining in the lungs after the most forceful expiration

the only volume that cant be directly measured in spirometry

Answer 11

residual volume

Question 12

pulmonary capacities

this capacity is the amount of air that a person can breathe in beginning at the normal expiratory level and distending the lungs to the maximum amount

Answer 12

inspiratory capacity

Question 13

pulmonary capacities

Answer 13

vital capacity

Question 14

pulmonary capacities

the maximum volume to which the lungs can be expanded with the greatest possible effort

Answer 14

total lung capacity
