Residual volume
Because a nose peg will prevent any air from accidentally escaping through your nasal passages, assuring an accurate tidal volume and vital capacity result when you blow air out forcefully from your mouth into the spirometer.
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.

The vital function that oxygen serves in the human body is respiration. Oxygen is needed for the lungs to function and for the proper functioning of other vital organs such as the heart and brain.

Four factors that can affect the vital capacity of a person are age (vital capacity decreases with age), gender (males tend to have higher vital capacity than females), height (taller individuals usually have higher vital capacity), and physical fitness level (regular exercise can increase vital capacity).

the vital capacity of lungs is 3.5 liters to 4.5 litres
vital lung capacity is how much air remains in your lungs after you exhale
My vital capacity is 1650cc (Yes, it's very low, but I'm twelve and I'm small). cc is used to measure vital capacity.
bigger body surface area = bigger vital capacity
Yes, vital capacity can differ when lying down compared to standing or sitting. In a supine position, the diaphragm's movement may be restricted due to abdominal pressure, potentially leading to a decrease in lung expansion. This can result in a lower vital capacity when measured in a lying position. However, individual variations and specific health conditions can also influence these changes.
Normal vital capacity for a female typically ranges from about 3.1 to 4.2 liters, depending on factors such as age, height, and overall health. Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after taking a deep breath and is an important measure of lung function. Individual values may vary, so it's essential to consider these factors when assessing respiratory health.
Vital Capacity (VC)
A teenage girl will likely have the same vital capacity as an adult woman. About 5 to 6 liters of air would be the vital capacity for a 15 year old female.
