Vital capacity of lungs is
Vital capacity is the maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration or the maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration.This equals the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) + expiratory reserve volume (ERV) + tidal volume (TV). Its value is 3400 mL - 4800 mL.
Match the items given in column I with those in column II and select the correct options given below: Column I Column II a. Tidal volume 1 2500-3000 mL b. Inspiratory Reserve volume 2 1100-1200 mL c. Expiratory Reserve volume 3 500-550 mL d. Residual volume 4 1000-1100 mL
Tidal Volume and Expiratory Reserve Volume of an athlete is $$500$$mL and $$1000$$mL, respectively. What will be his Expiratory Capacity if the Residual Volume is $$1200$$mL?
What will be the $$pO_2$$ and $$pCO_2$$ in the atmospheric air compared to those in the alveolar air? (i) $$pO_2$$ lesser, $$pCO_2$$ higher (ii) $$pO_2$$higher, $$pCO_2$$ lesser (iii) $$pO_2$$higher, $$pCO_2$$ higher (iv) $$pO_2$$ lesser, $$pCO_2$$ leser
What is the effect of $$pCO_2$$ on oxygen transport?
What is a tidal volume? Find out the tidal volume (approximate value) for a healthy human in an hour.
Match column I with column II and select the correct option from the given codes. Column I Column II A. Tidal volume (i)2500-3000 mL of air B. Inspiratory reserve volume (ii) 1000 mL of air C. Expiratory reserve volume (iii) 500 mL of air D. Residual volume (iv) 3400-4800 mL of air E. Vital capacity (v) 1200 mL of air

(c) Diffusion, Respiratory gases, Alveoli, Capillary network. (d) Trachea, ciliated epithelium, mucus, diffusion. (e) Oxyhaemoglobin, carbaminohaemoglobin, Hypoxia, Carboxyheamoglobin. (f) Hairy, Moist, Nostril, Vocal cord.
The volume of air in the lungs and the rate at which it is exchanged during inspiration and expiration was measured. The following diagram shows a group of the lung volumes and capacities: Study the diagram carefully and explain briefly the following: (a) Tidal volume. (b) Inspiratory reserve volume. (c) Expiratory reserve volume. (d) Vital capacity. (e) Residual volume.
Which one has the lowest value?
