Do athletic student have stronger lung capacity then no athletic student?

Athletic students may have stronger lung capacity due to their regular physical activity, which can improve lung function and capacity over time. However, individual differences in lung capacity also depend on genetic factors, respiratory health, and lifestyle habits beyond just athletic activity.


Who have more lung capacity shorter or taller people?

Not necessarily, but in general, yes.


Why do you think some people can inhale more air at one time than others can?

Differences in lung capacity, age, physical fitness, and respiratory efficiency can all contribute to variations in the amount of air that individuals can inhale at one time. Factors such as lung size and strength of respiratory muscles also play a role in determining 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.


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.

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.

Can a man's lungs hold more are than a women's lungs?

Lung capacity is a physical difference in the volume of the lungs. Lung capacity depends on how much air can fill the lungs. A man's lung capacity is larger than a woman's lung capacity.
