What is the volume of one breath called?

• minute ventilation
• inspiratory capacity
• tidal volume
• vital capacity

The amount of air you can force out after a normal breath out

• Expiratory Reserve
• Functional Residual Capacity
• Vital Capacity
• Inspiratory Capacity

The amount of air you can still inhale after a normal breath in

• Vital Capacity
• Inspiratory Reserve
• Functional Residual Capacity
• Inspiratory Capacity

The Maximum Volume of air that you can get in and out of your lungs

• 6000mL
• 4800mL
• 3600mL
• 500mL

Which of the following lung capacities is the volume of air that can be maximally exhaled after a maximum inhalation?

• inspiratory capacity
• functional residual capacity
• vital capacity
• total lung capacity

What is Tidal volume

• The volume of air breathed in and out during one breath

• The maximal amount of air a person can expel

• The amount of blood pumped from the heart

• The additional air that can be forcibly inhaled after normal inspiration

When the diaphragm contracts...

• the volume of the thoracic cavity increases and the pressure decreases, causing air to rush into the lungs.
• the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases and the pressure increases causing air to rush out of the lungs.
