Respiratory spirometry

The amount of air inhaled and exhaled in one cycle, usually averaging at about 500 mL in quiet breathing

• Tidal Volume

• Inspiratory reserve volume

• Residual volume

• Total lung capacity

The ________ volume is the amount of air remaining in the lungs after maximum respiration allowing for gas exchange with blood to continue between the times one inhales fresh air.

Which volume measures the amount of air in excess tidal volume that can be inhaled with maximum effort? ~3,000 mL

If you want to know the amount of air one can normally exhale with maximum expiration, you should look at...

• inspiratory reserve volume

• vital capacity

• expiratory reserve volume

• total lung capacity

The amount of air that can be inhaled and exhaled with maximum effort, or the deepest possible breath, is measured with...

• Inspiratory capacity

• Functional Residual Capacity

• Vital Capacity

• Total lung capacity

This capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal tidal expiration.

The __________ residual capacity is the amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal tidal expiration

• forced

• functional

• total

• relaxed

The maximum amount of air that the lungs can contain is usually around 6,000 mL and called the...

To calculate the total lung capacity (TLC), the following measurements are added together

• Tidal volume (VT)

• Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)

• Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)

• Alveolar ventilation (VA)

• Residual Volume (Vres or RV)

Inspiratory capacity (IC) is found when you add the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) to...

• Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)

• Residual Volume (Vres or RV)

• Tidal Volume (TV)
