breathing cycle involves basically inhaling and exhaling,usually something to do with the diaghpram muscle under the lungs. residual air is the air that remains in the bottom of the lungs and never leaves,if it did leave or wasnt their the lungs would collapse and you would die. this air can remain their for years without being refreshed. did you know you can simply refresh your residual air by going into prostration the same way muslims pray and bow down and while in prostration breathing in and out refreshens the residual air in your lungs.

What is meant by residual volume with reference of breathing?

Exhalation is a passive action that results from elastic recoil and changes in air pressure. When this happens naturally a portion of air remains within the lungs- residual volume. However when exhalation is forced, that is conscious efforts to expel as much air as possible, many of the residual volume can be forced out of the lungs.


Are air and water reusable?

I would say yes- breathing and the water cycle.


How do you clean oil from a compressed breathing air cylinder?

To clean oil from a compressed breathing air cylinder, you can flush the cylinder with clean air to remove any residual oil. You can also use a specialized cleaning solution designed for air cylinders to remove oil contamination. It is important to follow proper safety procedures and regulations to ensure the cylinder is safe for use with breathing air.

Without the atmosphere mankind will be gone, no air mean no breathing, and no breathing mean no mankind.


What does air in the chest mean?

it means you're breathing.


Does residual volume increase in asthmatics?

Yes, in asthmatics, residual volume can increase due to hyperinflation of the lungs caused by air trapping during an asthma attack. This can lead to difficulty in breathing out fully, which contributes to the characteristic wheezing and shortness of breath seen in asthma.


What is the interval between expiration and inspiration?

The interval between expiration (breathing out) and inspiration (breathing in) is called the respiratory cycle. During this cycle, the lungs expand and contract to allow air to move in and out of the body.


The air remaining in the lung after a maximal expiration is the?

residual volume


What is breathing without air called?

Breathing without air is called apnea. It refers to a temporary cessation of breathing, typically during sleep.


Are you breathing particles of air that dinosaurs breathed?

The atmosphere is mostly recycled. So yes, the air we breathe probably was breathed by dinosaurs, then the carbon dioxide they exhaled was converted to oxygen by plants, and after that cycle repeated itself many times, we are breathing the same air they did.


How does water get into an air pressure tank?

If you mean a well tank, the water is forced in by the pump. The residual air pressure pushes the water out to the faucets.


Can the amount of residual air be measured by breathing out?

In short no. When breathing normally the flow of air in and out is called the tidal volume and is usually about 500ml per breath (the fluction of lung volume is 2300ml to 2800ml in a breath). The most air you can possibly breath in is called the Inspiratory Reserve Capacity and can take the total lung volume up to about 5800ml (increasing the inspiration from tidal by 2000ml). The most air you can force our of you lungs is called the Expirational Reserve Volume and can bring the lung volume down as low as 1200ml. The 1200ml left is called the residual volume and is always in the lungs no matter what because if it left the lungs all the Alveoli (air sacs) would collapse and be unable to function again. Combinations of these different values give different important number that but these are not really relevent to the question. *all vallues are taken from statistical results and are not relevant to everyone.
