What is the equation to measure lung volume?
No equation is possible, lung volume is measured by a machine in to which you breath.
Where in the body does cellular respiration take place?
it take place in your lung and when you breath..
Can you hold your breath for 5 min?
You can hold your breath for 5 min. But it is almost impossible (have to be a dolphin or something) unless you have huge lung capacity.
What is alveolar ventilation refers to?
Alveolar volume is lung capacity. Alveoli are the air sacs in the bronchioles. How much air the lungs hold during both inspiration and expiration is lung capacity which is alveolar volume. Hope this helps
Which animals have alveoli?
A snake has one lung. Humans can also live with only one lung. The one lung compensates for not having two.
By what other names are lung perfusion scans and lung ventilation scans referred?
perfusion lung scan, aerosol lung scan, radionucleotide ventilation lung scan, ventilation lung scan, xenon lung scan, ventilation/perfusion scanning (VPS), pulmonary scintiphotography, or, most commonly, V/Q scan
Are there any exercises that can increase your breath-holding ability?
Look for an item called "expand-a-lung." Look for an item called "expand-a-lung."
Radioactive material is injected or inhaled and images are recorded?
"Lung Scan V/Q"ventilation perfusion scan radioactive test of lung ventilation and blood perfusion throughout the lung capillaries (Lung Scan)
How can penguins dive so deep?
Penguins have a fairly large lung capacity,allowing them to hold their breath for a certain period of time.
Atelectasis renders the lung useless for ventilation?
true
Can a person live with the missing organs of the respiratory system?
In general, most people only use 10% of their lung capacity. Focus on a normal breath and then compare that to the longest and deepest breath you can create. There are plenty of people who survive the removal of a lung (lung cancer survivors, deep divers, and accident victims are probably on top of the list).
Does an increase in ventilation rate have an effect on lung volume?
Yes
Why does minute ventilation increase after exercise?
Improves Lung funtion
What is an abnormal result of a lung ventilation scan?
absence of marker material when the lung perfusion scan for the area is normal suggests lung disease
What mode of ventilation to use in restrictive lung diseases?
pressure control
What respiratory structure regulates lung ventilation by constricting and dilating?
Diaphragm
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.
