as much as you take in

It is not the amount you breathe in. It is called vital capacity. Even after a person breathes out as much as he or she can, there is air remaining in the lungs. This is called residual volume.

What is the amount of air called you can inhale above tidal inspiration?

The amount of air you can inhale above tidal inspiration is called inspiratory reserve volume (IRV). It represents the additional air you can breathe in after a normal inhalation.


When you inhale air do you get a small or big amount of water vapour?

Well this depends on the humidity. Lets say the humidity is 20%. This means 20% of the air is water vapor. So approximately 20% of the air you inhale will be water vapor.


What is the maximum amount of air that a healthy lung can inhale?

very very variable... but there is a calculation that can be done its the forced expiratory volume / function residual capacity basically you breath out REALLY HARD, and then take another big breath in, and then you can work out how much air remains in your lungs compared to how much you force out the average is around 85% plus below 80% and your looking at emphysema, and higher then this then your looking at obstructive disorders. as you can tell, this eliminates size as a factor in lung capacity, and simply gives us a nice round % which we can use on everyone, and get an average, so theres no real answer to your question...


What causes the different amount of oxygen you inhale and exhale?

The amount of oxygen that is passed through the blood to the tissues and organs causes a difference in the amount that you inhale and exhale. You inhale a larger amount than you exhale.


What cause the difference in the amount of air you inhale and exhale?

Lungs alveoli has very large surface area, about 100 square meters. So air is fully saturated with water vapor and so it is more in amount.

What does it mean when someone's lungs are stretched to capacity?

Also known as Total Lung Capacity- the maximum amount of air your lungs can hold if you forcefully inhale.

Why the amount of water vapour inhaled air varies?

because inhale air is oxygen and due to that we stay alive


How is vital capacity determined?

Vital capacity is the amount of air you can breathe out after a maximum inhale. When it comes to determining vital capacity it’s basically calculated by the inspiratory reserve volume in addition to the expiratory reserve volume.

Do humans breathe nitrogen as a part of the air they inhale?

No, humans do not breathe in nitrogen as a part of the air they inhale. The air we breathe is mostly made up of oxygen, with a small amount of other gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

Can you use the word 'breathful' as a noun and what does it mean?

This is an odd word-- I didn't find it in my dictionary. That doesn't mean it isn't a word. As a noun it would the maximum amount of air one would have in the lungs during an ordinary breath. Or, I suppose it could mean the amount of air you would inhale and hold if asked to hold your breath.


How do you put inhale in a sentence?

Why you inhale oxygen only?

when you inhale air into your lungs the concentration of oxygen in the blood can be no greater than that in the air.As the blood reaching the lungs is lower in oxygen there is transfer from the air to the blood stream until the concentrations stabilise.However there is no active transfer.Therefore there will always be Oxygen in exhaled air even if the initial oxygen concentration in the blood is zero as the air oxygen and the blood oxygen will reach a steady state equilibrium
