What type of air is residual volume?
residual volume is the amount of air left in your lungs after fully exhaling.
What effect does aerobic training has on vital capacity and residual volume?
What happens is the vital capacity of the lungs greatly increases over time while residual volume decreases. Essentially the body is becoming more conditioned and the entire cardiovascular system improves, therefore it does not need the extra residual volume. However, if someone were to not exercise at all the opposite would occur. Source: Fitness For Life class I was in during winter quarter of 2011.
What is meant by Residual Hills?
When the process of erosion takes place gigantic wave of water flows on the mountains and other highland areas this causes boulders, sediments and other solid materials are washed away and when these rocks re-situated in a large size on other parts of land then called residual hills. We can also say that they hard rocks left behind after erosion are then called residual hills.
Can you use the spirometer to measure your total lung capacity?
No. A spirometer can be used to measure the volume of breath a person can expire but it is impossible to expire your entire lung capacity. This is due to the "dead space" capacity that remains to stop the collapse of the alveoli. As the alveoli are spherical and lined with mucus if they collapse it would be impossble for them to be filled again and so some air must remain within them. It is, however, possible to estimate someone's total lung capacity from the spirometer reading.
How do you calculate the volume of water boiled off?
Subtract what is left from the original volume.
What type of air is residual volume?
residual volume is the amount of air left in your lungs after fully exhaling.
What is residual volume of air?
Residual volume is the amount of air left in the lungs after a maximal exhalation
The air remaining in the lung after a maximal expiration is the?
residual volume
What is the functional residual capacity FRC composed of?
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) + Residual Volume (RV)
What is the air left in your lungs after you exhale called?
The air left in your lungs after exhaling is called "Expiratory Reserve".
What volume allows gas exchange to go on continuously?
Residual volume allows gas exchange to go on continuously
What is the function of residual volume?
The function of residual volume is to keep enough pressure in the lungs to keep them from collapsing.
Which volume of air is not included in the vital capacity?
residual (reserve) volume
What is a residual lake?
Lakes which are made by residual rocks which are left after weathering and erosion and form the residual lakes.
Why is there always a residual volume left in the lungs?
there is always air left in the lungs because it needs the oxygen foe the lungs to inflate and deflate
What is total residual volume?
It's (RV) = 1.2...
What is rvs lab test?
residual volume specimen
