Respiratory Volumes

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

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 pulmonary ventilation?

• A pneumothorax (collapsed lung)

• Both inspiration and expiration

• Another term for asthma attack

• The volume of air in one breath

What is the volume that remains in the lungs even after a forceful exhale

• expiratory reserve
• residual volume
• inspiratory reserve
• total lung capacity

What equipment is used to measure air being inspired and expired?

• spirometre
• spirometer
• inspirometer
• expirometer

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

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

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

• 1,500 mL

• 4,800 mL

• 6,000 mL

• 10,800 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

Total lung capacity includes

• tidal volume + inspiratory volume + expiratory volume

• inspiratory reserve + expiratory reserve

• tidal volume + vital capacity

• vital capacity + residual volume
