What measurement in addition to vital capacity is needed before you can calculate your total lung capacity?
Residual volume
What is water purify?
Purified water is water that has had harmful minerals taken out. This is usually done by way of a filtering system. A person can have a large, whole house filtering system, or just a small pitcher with a filtering system.
What is a rccb?
A residual-current device (RCD), or residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB), is an electrical wiring device that disconnects a circuit whenever it detects that the electric currents not balanced between the energized conductor and the return neutral conductor.
Why residual air important?
bicos if ther wos no air you could not breafe. wow you are so stupid you should go to a good collidge likeme and be clever its not that hard if you believe inyour self you can do it. +im actually steven hawkints son thats why imso clever:)
What is the effect of emphysema on inspiratory reserve volume?
The volume of air which you normally breathe in and out is called the tidal volume. This is normally about 500 cm3 when you are at rest. However if you breathe in as much as you can you can breathe in more than 500 cm3. The extra volume of air breathed in (inspiration) is called the inspiratory reserve volume.Similarly when you breathe out as much as you can, the extra volume of air breathed out (expiration) is called the expiratory reserve volume. These three volumes added together give you your vital capacity: the maximum volume of air you can breathe in or out. When you have breathed out as much as you can there is still some air left in your lungs ie you cannot empty your lungs completely. This volume is called the residual volume.The vital capacity plus the residual volume equals your total lung capacity.

What air volumes cannot be measured using a simple spirometer?
Functional residual capacity (FRC)
What is the functional residual capacity FRC composed of?
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) + Residual Volume (RV)
How does Functional Residual Capacity change during exercise?
rubish
Pulmonary Volume with its approximate value?
functional residual capacity 2300 Inspiratory capacity 3500 Vital capacity 4600 Total lung capacity 5800
What do increased residual volume and decreased vital capacity indicate?
The increased residual volume and decreased vital capacity indicates difficulty in breathing. There are many conditions that can make the breathing capacity to reduce.
What does the medical term Minimal residual hepatic parenchyma mean?
Minimal residual hepatic parenchyma means there's not much functional liver left.
What does total lung capacity equals?
Total lung volume equals Vital Capacity + Residual Volume.
What measurement in addition to vital capacity is needed before you can calculate your total lung capacity?
Residual volume
Which volume of air is not included in the vital capacity?
residual (reserve) volume
Why is it important that they look after the residual powers?
Residual power can build up and overcome.
Can residual ozone in water be measured using chlorotex?
Chlorotex is used to test chlorine in water.
Is Tidal Volume Plus Residual Volume equal to vital capacity?
No, vital capacity is the maximum volume a person can exhale after taking the deepest breath that they can
