What is meant by relaxed and forced vital capacity?
force vital capacity is measure when the patient is ecxhating with maximal speed and effort
What measurement in addition to vital capacity is needed before you can calculate your total lung capacity?
Residual volume
How do you measure vital capacity?
Vital capacity is measured using a spirometer. The person takes a deep breath in and then exhales as forcefully and completely as possible into the spirometer. The spirometer records the volume of air exhaled, which is used to calculate the vital capacity.
What is the difference between Forced vital capacity and vital capacity?
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) measures the total amount of air exhaled forcefully after taking a deep breath, usually measured within a specific time frame. Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after a maximum inhalation, regardless of the speed of exhalation. FVC is often used to diagnose lung conditions such as asthma, whereas VC provides a general measure of lung function.
What are four factors that can affect the vital capacity of a person?
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).

What is vital capacity of lungs?
the vital capacity of lungs is 3.5 liters to 4.5 litres
What are the 9 components of PFT?
The 9 components of a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) typically include: forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio, peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory flow (FEF), total lung capacity (TLC), residual volume (RV), functional residual capacity (FRC), and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO).
What is vital lung capacity?
vital lung capacity is how much air remains in your lungs after you exhale
What does measurement in addition tovital capacity is needed before you can calculate your total lung capacity?
To calculate total lung capacity (TLC), you need to measure both vital capacity (VC) and the residual volume (RV). Vital capacity represents the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after a maximum inhalation, while residual volume is the amount of air remaining in the lungs after a full exhalation. TLC is then calculated using the formula: TLC = VC + RV. Therefore, measuring residual volume is essential for determining total lung capacity.
For vital capacity what units are the measurements in?
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.
What is nhanes III pulmonary equations?
These are equations to calculate reference values for pulmonary function testing. The parameters are for instance TLC (Total lung capacity), VC (vital capacity), FRC (functionnal residual capacity) etc...
