∙ 13y agoThe difference between inspired air and expired air is that inspired air has a larger amount of oxygen in it as compared to expired air whereas it has less amount of carbon dioxide than expired air.

∙ 12y agoInspired is the inhaled air you breath, taking in oxygen and allowing it to difuse through air sacs to your blood.
Expired is the exhalation of air in to the environment, a process of letting carbon dioxide back into the environment.

∙ 13y agoExhaled air has high level of CO2 and water vapor while inhaled air has O2 and very little amount or no water vapor.
There is nothing like expired air unless it stale long time trapped air and inspired air would mean any environment that has inspired someone.

∙ 9y agoExpired air is basically deoxygenated. Expired air has very little composition of air. Carbon dioxide is the usually rich in expired air.

What gas is more abundant in exhaled air than inhaled air?
Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere ( ~ 80% ) and therefore is the dominant species in both inspired as well as expired air.
Can you inhale and exhale at the same time?
Speech is normally produced by the intermittent release of expired air and the opening and closing of the glottis (the gap between the vocal cords). However, speech can also be produced by the intermittent retention of air inspired through the mouth. This special technique has been used in Kryia Yoga.
What are the percentage ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide during inspiration and expiration?
At the alveolar level, the percentages of gases inspired are: 13.7% O2, 5.2% CO2, and 74.9% N2. This is due to the amount of air left in the lungs after inspiration and expiration at tidal volume. If inspiration is strengthened, then this will make the percentage clean up, but not enough to fall within the percentages of Dalton's Law which gives inspired atmospheric air the following percentages: O2 20.9%, CO2 0.4%, N2 78.6%. If we look at expired percentages, these are based upon the cellular transfer of gasses from the alveolus to the capillary. Since the capillary is transferring CO2 only, it can be assumed that the entirety of expired air is made of CO2 only. This cannot be true though. The fact that at tidal volume breathing, there is still static air moving to and from the aveolus with both Oxygen and Nitrogen in the expired mix as well. The following percentages from lecture notes are as follows for expired air: O2 15.8%, CO2 3.55%, N2 74.5%. Remember, these numbers are at the alveolus level, not at the atmospheric level. I am a Medical Technologies STUDENT. This information is pulled directly from my studies. IF you are a professor and would like to edit my answers for mistakes, feel free, but please document it in the change as a courtesy. My next lab will be testing for these gasses upon inspiration and expiration, but our numbers will reflect atmospheric data or 'at the mouthpiece' of BIOPAC equipment.
How are food tube and air tube similar?
Food tube are for food and air tube are for inhaling and exhaling.And that's how it differ.
The following structures warm moisten and filter the inspired air?
nose- cilia and the mucous.
What is the medical term meaning amount of air inspired and expired during normal breathing?
The medical term for the amount of air inspired and expired during normal breathing is tidal volume.
What causes the drop in the amount of oxygen between inspired and expired air?
Modern
What is the amount of air inspired and expired in normal respiration normal 500 mL and is known as the?
Tidal Volume
What is an anapnograph?
An anapnograph is a variety of spirometer, a device used to measure the volume of air inspired and expired by the lungs.
How is air inspired and expired?
I think you'll find that air is inspired by great people, men and women air has found to be influential, noble or even just important to air personally. As for expiration.. just check the best before date.
What makes up 21 percent of the air?
oxygen! There is 21 percent oxygen in inspired ( the stuff you breath in) air and 13 percent in expired(the stuff you breath out)
Why CO2 is more in alveolar air than expired air?
Alveolar air mixes with air in the anatomic dead space on its way, which is rich in oxygen. hence % of oxygen is more in expired air. Thus though amount of CO2 does not decrease, percentage decreases as inspired air contains very less amount of CO2 (0.03%).
What happens to expired air?
Expired air is air that you breathe out of your lungs.
What is the difference between expired and inspire?
Inspiration brings air into the lungs. Expiration expels air from the lungs. In most lung diseases, the air breathed in is not completely or easily exhaled.
What percentages of inspired air are oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Ambient air (the air you breathe in) contains about 21% oxygen and about 380 ppm carbon dioxide. This changes slightly summer to winter, downwind of green vegetation during the day and in buildings.
Why does expired air contain more carbon dioxide than inspired air?
I did not quite get this, but if this helps, good. ( this is from my biology book)"Carbon dioxide is made by cells as a waste product of respiration, and is released across the gaseous exchange surface"
Why is less oxygen expired than inspired?
Because ts make your pennis get bigger.
