This instrument is the spirometer.
An inspirometer will measure the volume of air which is breathed in with one breath.
Spirometry is a system of assessing lung volumes that uses a spirometer, which is an important tool often used in pulmonary function testing.
is Spirometry
Total lung capacity can be determined through a pulmonary function test, which measures the maximum amount of air the lungs can hold. This test involves breathing into a device called a spirometer to assess lung volume and capacity.
VO2 Max The Volume that the lungs can process
The amount of air that can be withheld in your lungs
it is a medical test that can tell a doctor how much of your lungs are filling with air when you breathe.
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.
There is a test called the "Methacholine Challenge." This tests your lung capacity, and is used by MEPS (military entrance processing station) to determine if someone has the lung capacity to participate in the US military. I myself took this test shortly after turning 18, only to determine my lung capacity was not high enough, thanks to my own carelessness (smoking heavily for the days leading up to my test). In brief, they hook you up to sensors, put a mouthpiece-like object in your mouth, and you inhale and exhale as much oxygen as possible for a 5 minute period. During this test, they administer Methacholine into your lungs to determine the volume of your lungs, and if you have any symptoms of ashtma etc.

Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)
Spirometry is covered in medical sciences. Spirometry is a test of the lungs. It's done by putting a plug on the nose, directing all the air to go to the mouth. It measures lung function.
I have no clue but why dont you test another crazy thery to find out! :)
Spirometry is a test that measures lung function, specifically the volume of air inhaled and exhaled by the lungs. It is commonly used to assess respiratory health and diagnose conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other lung diseases. It is part of the respiratory system.
One common test to measure lung ventilation mechanics is spirometry. This test involves measuring the amount and speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled from the lungs. It helps evaluate conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and restrictive lung diseases.
