Resp Physio
Pulmonary Cap.'s + Vol.'s
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Tidal volume | Volume of air inspired or expired during a normal inspiration or expiration |
| Inspiratory reserve volume | Amount of air inspired forcefully after inspiration of normal tidal volume |
| Expiratory reserve volume | Amount of air forcefully expired after expiration of normal tidal volume |
| Residual volume | Volume of air remaining in respiratory passages and lungs after the most forceful expiration |
| Inspiratory capacity | Tidal volume plus inspiratory reserve volume |
| Functional residual capacity | Expiratory reserve volume plus the residual volume |
| Vital capacity | Sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume |
| Total lung capacity | Sum of inspiratory and expiratory reserve volumes plus the tidal volume and residual volume |
