What else can I help you with?
What metric unit do you use to measure lung capacity with?
All volumes are measured in litres.
What disorders increase a person lung capacity?
Lung capacity can not be increased by a disorder.
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 the equation to measure lung volume?
The equation to measure lung volume is Total Lung Capacity (TLC) = Vital Capacity (VC) + Residual Volume (RV). TLC represents the maximum amount of air the lungs can hold, VC is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a deep inhalation, and RV is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after maximum exhalation.
What is lung capacity decreases?
it has lung cancer
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.
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).
What organs would affect lung capacity?
The lungs and heart, when diseased or injured could decrease lung capacity. Obesity would also reduce lung capacity
Can the ideal gas law be used to find the capacity of the lungs?
No, the ideal gas law is a generalization for gases under specific conditions, and it does not account for the complex processes involved in breathing and lung capacity. Lung capacity is determined by factors such as lung size, elasticity, and strength of respiratory muscles. Tests like spirometry are typically used to measure lung capacity accurately.
What is vital lung capacity?
vital lung capacity is how much air remains in your lungs after you exhale
What is the lung capacity of a cow?
The lung capacity of a bovine (or "cow") is 12,400 mL or 12.4 L.
