What is the equation to measure lung volume?
No equation is possible, lung volume is measured by a machine in to which you breath.
What does total lung capacity equals?
Total lung volume equals Vital Capacity + Residual Volume.
What is lung capacity meant by?
Your total lung capacity is the total volume of the lung after maximum inspiration. (average 6 litres).
The air remaining in the lung after a maximal expiration is the?
residual volume
What is the lung volume that represents the total volume of exchangeable air?
vital capacity
What units are maximum lung volume measured in?
inches
What are the two factors that reduce lung volume?
smoking
What does Lung volume reduction do?
These procedures remove 20-30% of severely diseased lung tissue; the remaining parts of the lung are joined together
When does the lung relax?
The lung doesn't relax, it is controlled by the diaphragm When it relaxes the volume of the lungs decrease during expiration When it contracts the volume of the lungs increases during inhilation
The lung volume that represents the total volume of exchangeable air is the?
vital capacity
Does an increase in ventilation rate have an effect on lung volume?
Yes
How can you measure lung volume?
Respiratory volume or respiratory minute volume is the volume of air which can be inhaled or exhaled from a person's lung in one minute.It is normally consider when a person on a ventilator for breathing problem due to sickness or injury. It is calculated by taking the tidal volume( or lung volume ) and multiplying it by the respiratory rate( the number of breaths per minute a person is taking).
