Question 27

Lung Volumes

Answer 27

Tidal Volume: volume of one breath (about 500mL) Anatomic Dead Space: the conducting airways with air that does not undergo respiratory exchange (same mL as the ideal weight in pounds) Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): additional inhaled air (about 3100mL in males, 1900 in females) Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV): additional exhaled air 9about 1200mL in males, 700mL in females)

Lung Volumes

Answer 28

Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1): air volume that can be exhaled from the lungs in 1 second with maximal effort after a maximal inhalation Residual Volume (RV): air remains in the lungs (about 1200mL in males, 1100 in females) Minimal Volume: air remaining that determines whether a baby is born dead (stillbirth) or dead after birth
