The amount of air that moves when you inhale or exhale is referred to as?

Tidal volume refers to the amount of air that moves in or out of the lungs during normal breathing. It represents the volume of air inspired or expired with each breath.


How does air enter and exit our lungs?

Much like as in a concertina or a piano accordian. Body muscles increase the volume of the chest, and air rushes in to occupy the extra space. Then the body muscles reduce the volume and to avoid being pressurised the air is pushed out.


Which has more mass the air that we inhale or the same volume of air we exhale?

The mass of the air we inhale is essentially the same as the mass of the air we exhale, assuming no gas exchange occurs in the lungs. While the composition of the inhaled and exhaled air differs—exhaled air contains more carbon dioxide and less oxygen—the total mass remains consistent for the same volume, as the mass is determined by the volume and the density of the gases present. Thus, for equal volumes, both inhaled and exhaled air have comparable mass.


What Is the Affect of Emphysema on Expiratory Reserve Volume?

Expiratory reserve volume is decreased in a patient with emphysema. This patient will struggle to breathe out because air is getting trapped within the lungs. There is also an increase of co2 in the blood because of the inability for the patient to exhale.


When you exhale the diagram controls your breathing how?

The diagram acts as the main muscle of respiration. When you exhale, the diagram relaxes and moves up, reducing the volume of the chest cavity. This increase in pressure forces air out of the lungs.
