Respiratory Volumes

What is pulmonary ventilation?

• A pneumothorax (collapsed lung)

• Both inspiration and expiration

• Another term for asthma attack

• The volume of air in one breath

Which describes the amount of air you breathe in during one breath?

• Residual volume, and is 1,200 mL of air

• Inspiratory reserve volume, and is 500 mL of air

• Tidal volume, and is 500 mL of air

• Vital capacity volume, and is 4,800 mL of air

What is the technical term for breathing air out?

• Inhalation

• Expiration

• Inspiration

• Exothermic

What is the maximum amount of air your lungs can hold?

• Tidal volume, and is 500 mL

• Inspiratory reserve volume, and is 3,100 mL

• Vital capacity volume, and is 4,800 mL

• Total lung capacity, and is 6,000 mL

Which term describes the additional amount of air you would take IN after a tidal volume amount of air, in order to blow out your birthday candles?

• Residual volume, and is 1,200 mL of air

• Inspiratory reserve volume, and is 3,100 mL of air

• Inspiratory reserve volume, and is about 4,800 mL of air

• Vital capacity volume, and is about 3,100 mL of air

What is the maximum amount of air your lungs (combined) can hold?

• 1,500 mL

• 4,800 mL

• 6,000 mL

• 10,800 mL

When you inhale (undergo inspiration),

• Your diaphragm moves inferiorly, and your intercostal muscles relax to "open up" the chest cavity space

• Your diaphragm moves superiorly, and your intercostal muscles relax to "open up" the chest cavity space

• Your diaphragm moves superiorly, and your intercostal muscles contract to "open up" the chest cavity space

• Your diaphragm moves posteriorly, and your intercostal muscles contract to "open up" the chest cavity space

The maximum volume of air that can be "exchanged" through inspiration and expiration with your environment is

• Tidal volume, and is 1,000 mL

• Respiratory reserve volume, and is 3,100 mL

• Vital capacity volume, and is 4,800 mL

• Total lung capacity volume, and is 6,000 mL

Air from outside your body moves

• actively INTO your lungs from an area of high pressure towards lower pressure

• actively INTO your lungs from an area of low pressure towards higher pressure

• passively INTO your lungs from an area of high pressure towards lower pressure

• passively INTO your lungs from an area of low pressure towards higher pressure

Total lung capacity includes

• tidal volume + inspiratory volume + expiratory volume

• inspiratory reserve + expiratory reserve

• tidal volume + vital capacity

• vital capacity + residual volume
