What air volumes cannot be measured using a simple spirometer?
Functional residual capacity (FRC)
What is nhanes III pulmonary equations?
These are equations to calculate reference values for pulmonary function testing. The parameters are for instance TLC (Total lung capacity), VC (vital capacity), FRC (functionnal residual capacity) etc...
Does emphysema decrease lung volume?
It increases their RV (residual volume) and FRC (functional residual capacity) due to air trapping. It decreases the FEV1 and takes longer to finish their FVC (forced vital capacity) because of decreased flow rates. It also decreases the DLCO (difusion capacity) because of alveolar wall distruction.
What is the difference between pulmonary volume and pulmonary capacity?
Hi: in my Anatomy & Physiology II our teacher explained Pulmonary capacity as the sum of two or more primary lung volumes. There are five pulmonary capacities:Inspiratory Capacity (IC) IC= TV + IRVExpiratory Capacity (EC) EC= TV + ERVFunctional Residual Capacity (FRC) FRC= ERV + RVVital Capacity (VC) VC= IRV + TV + ERVTotal Lung Capacity (TLC) TLC= IRV + TV + ERV + RVTV = Tidal volume.IRV= Inspiratory reserve volume.ERV= Expiratory reserve volume.RV =Residual volume.Pulmonary volumes and capacities are measure, usually, when is suspected a respiratory disease because volumes and capacities changes with respiratory diseases.
How does roof come off frc c5 Corvette?
It doesn't. That's why they call it an FRC (Fixed Roof Corvette)
Which explains the relationship between the gas pressure gradient of the atmosphere and the alveolar air that allows inhalation?
Sub atmospheric pressure in the lungs is generated through sudden expansion caused by the diaphragm and accessory muscles; this sudden and brief pressure gradient is recognized by airflow from the atmosphere into the lungs until they are filled. Once the lungs are filled and achieve a greater than atmospheric pressure another pressure gradient is established and with the assistance of elastic recoil allow exhalation to occur. This end of exhalation provides a temporary period of equilibrium between the lung and outside atmosphere where no air flow occurs. The lungs never totally deflate. The remaining volume left in the lungs after passive exhalation is referred to as the Functional Residual Capacity or FRC. A person can forcefully exhale a portion of their FRC but cannot eliminate all of it; a remaining portion referred to as the residual volume remains. A combination of factors involving surface tension of the alveoli and 0 pressure gradient prevent the elimination of RV.

What does a lung capacity of 39 percent mean?
The lung capacities are measurements of two or more volumes. The vital capacity (VC) measures the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled or exhaled during a respiratory cycle. It is the sum of the expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and inspiratory reserve volume. The inspiratory capacity (IC) is the amount of air that can be inhaled after the end of a normal expiration. It is, therefore, the sum of the tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume. The functional residual capacity (FRC) includes the expiratory reserve volume and the residual volume. The FRC measures the amount of additional air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation. The total lung capacity (TLC) is a measurement of the total amount of air that the lung can hold. It is the sum of the residual volume, expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and inspiratory reserve volume
