My tidal lung capacity was lower. I know the difference because in the tidal lung capacity you are taking in less breath. When you are doing the vital lung capacity, you take in more breath.

What is vital lung capacity?
vital lung capacity is how much air remains in your lungs after you exhale
What is tidal lung capacity?
Tidal capacity is the amount of oxygen the lungs can breathe in and out per breath
What is the lung capacity available for speech?
Vital Capacity (VC)
The lung volume that represents the total volume of exchangeable air is the?
vital capacity
What does total lung capacity equals?
Total lung volume equals Vital Capacity + Residual Volume.
Lung volumes is the amount of air that enters and exits the lungs during a single quiet breath?
Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inspiration. It is equal to the inspiratory reserve volume plus the tidal volume plus the expiratory reserve volume.A person's vital capacity can be measured by a spirometer which can be a wet or regular Spirometry. In combination with other Physiologicalmeasurements, the vital capacity can help make a diagnosis of underlying lung disease. The unit that is used to determine this vital capacity is millilitres (ml).A normal adult has a vital capacity between 3 and 5 litres. After the age of 20 the vitalcapacity decreases approximatley 250 cc per ten years.
What variables affect lung capacity?
Vital capacity is a term which refers to the maximum volume someone can breathe in his lungs [ the max volume of air inhaled after a max exhalation]. It depends on many factors. How fit someone is, smoking, obesity, height, sex, body size and the posture of the body [when someone lies his vital capacity is less than standing]. Also when playing a flute instrument you'll increase your vital capacity,
A restrictive lung disorder is indicated by a below normal?
vital capacity
How do you measure lung capacity?
One measure of lung size is called vital capacity and it refers to the amount of air that can be inhaled and exhaled forcibly in one breath.
What measurement in addition to vital capacity is needed before you can calculate your total lung capacity?
Residual volume
What happen to the lung volumes and capacities during heavy exercise?
Pulmonary ventilation is 6 liters/minute in resting individual. You have a respiratory rate of 12/minute and tidal volume of 500 ml/minute. During heavy exercise tidal volume increases from 10 % of vital capacity to about 50 % of vital capacity. And respiratory rate increases from 12 to about 40 to 45/ minute. Thus increasing the pulmonary ventilation to about 100 liter/minute.
What is the lung volume that represents the total volume of exchangeable air?
