Answer 3

Volume of air inspired or expired during rest
500 ml

Question 4

What is inspiratory reserve volume?

Answer 4

Maximal volume of air inspired after normal inspiration
3000 ml

Question 5

What is expiratory reserve volume?

Answer 5

Maximal volume of air expired after normal expiration
1200 ml

Question 6

What is residual volume?

Answer 6

Volume of air remaining in the lung after maximal expiration
1200 ml

Question 7

What does static lung capacities include?

Answer 7

Inspiratory capacity
Functional residual capacity
Vital capacity
Total lung capacity

Question 8

What is inspiratory capacity?

Answer 8

Maximal volume of air that can be inspired
Tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume = 3500 ml

Question 9

What is functional residual capacity?

Answer 9

Volume of air remaining in the lung after normal expiration
ERV + RV = 2400 ml

Question 10

What is vital capacity?

Answer 10

Maximal volume of air expired after maximal inspiration
IRV + VT + ERV = 4600 ml

Question 11

What is total lung capacity?

Answer 11

The volume of air remaining in lung after maximal inspiration
VC + RV = 5800 ml
