Lung Volumes Flashcards
Definition of Tidal Volume
Volume of air breathed in or out per breath
What happens to Tidal Volume during exercise
increases during exercise
Define Inspiratory Reserve Volume
Volume of air that can be forcibly inspired after a normal breath
What happens to Inspiratory Reserve Volume during exercise
During exercise it Decreases
Define Expiratory Reserve Volume
Volume of air that can be forcibly expired after a normal breath
What happens to Expiratory Reserve Volume during exercise
During exercise it decreases
Define Residual Volume
Volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximum expiration
What happens to residual volume during exercise
During exercise it stays the same
Define Vital Capacity
The greatest volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after taking the deepest possible breath
What happens to Vital Capacity during exercise
During exercise there is no change
Define Minute Ventilation
Volume of air breathed in or out per minute
Minute Ventilation equation
Minute Ventilation (MV) = Tidal Volume (TV) x Frequency (F)
