In short no. When breathing normally the flow of air in and out is called the tidal volume and is usually about 500ml per breath (the fluction of lung volume is 2300ml to 2800ml in a breath). The most air you can possibly breath in is called the Inspiratory Reserve Capacity and can take the total lung volume up to about 5800ml (increasing the inspiration from tidal by 2000ml). The most air you can force our of you lungs is called the Expirational Reserve Volume and can bring the lung volume down as low as 1200ml. The 1200ml left is called the residual volume and is always in the lungs no matter what because if it left the lungs all the Alveoli (air sacs) would collapse and be unable to function again. Combinations of these different values give different important number that but these are not really relevent to the question.
*all vallues are taken from statistical results and are not relevant to everyone.

How does expiratory reserve volume change with exercise?
What happens to residual volume, tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume just after exercise while breathing deeply and rapidly? Do they increase, decrease or stay the same?
What is the definition of lungs?
The respiratory organs of air-breathing animals.
What is the function of anatomical dead space?
dead space is air that is inhaled by the body in breathing, but does not take part in gas exchange. Like the air in your mouth while you are breathing. It is the air that doesn't come in contact with the lungs. I'm not quite sure why it is called dead space.
Tiny air sacs on the lungs are destroyed making breathing extremely difficult is?
The tiny air sacs in the lungs are alveoli
What is breathing without air called?
You can not breath without air..... Do you mean living without oxygen......then that the word is 'anaerobic'.
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
What do you mean by breathing cycle and what is residual of air?
breathing cycle involves basically inhaling and exhaling,usually something to do with the diaghpram muscle under the lungs. residual air is the air that remains in the bottom of the lungs and never leaves,if it did leave or wasnt their the lungs would collapse and you would die. this air can remain their for years without being refreshed. did you know you can simply refresh your residual air by going into prostration the same way muslims pray and bow down and while in prostration breathing in and out refreshens the residual air in your lungs.
What air volumes cannot be measured using a simple spirometer?
Functional residual capacity (FRC)
The amount of air remaining in the alveolus after expiration is referred to as what?
residual volume
What is meant by residual volume with reference of breathing?
Exhalation is a passive action that results from elastic recoil and changes in air pressure. When this happens naturally a portion of air remains within the lungs- residual volume. However when exhalation is forced, that is conscious efforts to expel as much air as possible, many of the residual volume can be forced out of the lungs.
The lungs contain a certain amount of air that cannot be forced out the volume of air is known as what?
this is called residual volume.
The amount of air that can no be exhaled is called?
The residual volume is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after the most powerful expiration.
Air remaining lungs after forced expiration?
The air that can not be exhaled is called residual volume.TV = the amount of air displaced during normal breathing.IRV = The amount of air that can be taken in forcibly beyond tidal volumeErv= The amount of that can be expelled forcibly.Vital capacity = the total amount of exchangeable air.Total Lung capacity = TV + IRV + ERV + RESIDUAL VOLUME
What is the amount of air remaining in the lungs even after the greatest possible expiratory effort?
residual volume
Does panting or shallow breathing ensure complete respiratory exchange?
No .the air which comes in and the air which is exhaled are constant and ia called tidal quantity.this refers to the amount of air completely exchanged ,whereas some amount of air is always present in the lungs which help in preventing the lungs from collapsing and no matter how much you force it doesnt come out .its volume is refered to as residual volume.this volume gets exchanged but is alwys present in the lung.
The amount of air exchanged during normal quiet breathing is about?
about half litre air
