While someone is young their lungs are still developing but, After a person reaches the age of twenty, their lungs stop growing and their lung capacity, ever so slightly , goes downhill little by little.Then if there is a 70 year old man and a kid blew into a balloon it would be the same.And most of it is size

∙ 13y agoyea it does this is a way to know how get some people to blow once in a balloon and make sure that u dont let the air out. Write down their name, height, last name, and age. Once u tie the balloon meassure it with a string, put over the balloon from top to bottom and meassure it from side to the other side and then the balloons circumference would be the big number. So then once you got your data you will find your accurate answer but you will have to do more then one person.

∙ 10y agoFactors other than height, like smoking, may effect lung capacity. Smoking will tear up the lungs and a person's weight may also affect how much air a pair of lungs can take in at any given time.

The lung capacity vary on the person's age, gender, where he lives and more. For example, if he lives in a smoke-free area his lung capacity is probably more. The average lung capacity for a human is 4-6 liters of air and the average lung capacity for a 10-11 year old is around 4 liters.
The lung volume that represents the total volume of exchangeable air is the?
vital capacity
Any lung disease that reduces the forced expiratory volume FEV but does not significantly affect the vital capacity is categorized purely as an?
obstructive lung disorder
Does the Right lung hold more oxygen?
I would think so. The right lung has three lobes and is larger than the two-lobed left lung, which must make room for the heart. Also, females are generally smaller than males, so their lung capacity is about 20% less, and..believe it or not..taller people generally have longer lungs, so they have more capacity than short people!
What is the normal value for vital capacity for a healthy male adult at rest?
Vital Capacity is the maximal amount of air that can be expired after a maximal inspiration. Normal amounts vary due to sex, age, height and weight of the patient.
Does Henry's Law depend on lung capacity?

What variables affect lung capacity?
Vital capacity is a term which refers to the maximum volume someone can breathe in his lungs [ the max volume of air inhaled after a max exhalation]. It depends on many factors. How fit someone is, smoking, obesity, height, sex, body size and the posture of the body [when someone lies his vital capacity is less than standing]. Also when playing a flute instrument you'll increase your vital capacity,
How much air does the right lung hold?

What disorders increase a person lung capacity?

What is the average lung capacity for a 60 yr old female?
The average lung capacity for a 60-year-old female is around 2.4-3.1 liters. However, this can vary based on factors like height, weight, fitness level, and overall health. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help improve and maintain lung capacity.
How did my tidal and vital lung capacity differ?
My tidal lung capacity was lower. I know the difference because in the tidal lung capacity you are taking in less breath. When you are doing the vital lung capacity, you take in more breath.
What is lung capacity decreases?
it has lung cancer
What is the effect of execersing on the rate of inhalation on lung capacity?
Exercising increases the lung capacity.
What is lung capacity meant by?
Your total lung capacity is the total volume of the lung after maximum inspiration. (average 6 litres).
