respiratory volumes & capacities

Question 1

inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) + tidal volume (TV) =

Answer 1

inspiratory capacities (IC)

Question 2

expiratory reserve volume (ERV) + residual volume (RV) =

Answer 2

functional residual capacity (FRC)

Question 3

what makes up inspiratory capacity (IC)?

Answer 3

IRV + TV + ERV

Question 4

what is tidal volume?

Answer 4

amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under resting conditions

Question 5

what is inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)?

Answer 5

amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal tidal volume inspiration

Question 6

what is expiratory reserve volume (ERV)?

Answer 6

amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume expiration

Question 7

what is residual volume?

Answer 7

amount of air remaining in the lungs after a forced expiration

Question 8

what is vital capacity (VC)?

Answer 8

maximum amount of air contained in lungs after a maximum inspiratory effort

Question 9

what is inspiratory capacity (IC)?

Answer 9

maximum amount fo air that can be inspired after a normal tidal volume expiration

Question 10

what is functional residual capacity (FRC)?

Answer 10

volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal tidal volume expiration

Question 11

obstructive pulmonary disease

Answer 11

increased airway resistance
(ex: bronchitis)

Question 12

restrictive disease

Answer 12

reduced TLC due to this disease

Question 13

what may increase because of hyperinflation of lungs?

Answer 13

TLC, FRC, RV

Question 14

what declines because lung expansion is compromised?

Answer 14

VC, TLC, FRC, RV
