What is the term for the number of breaths taken per minute?
vital capacity
tidal volume
breathing rate
ventilation rate
|
Which of the following describes tidal volume?
the maximum volume of air that can be inhaled above a normal inhalation
the volume of air that remains in the lungs after the largest possible exhalation
the maximum volume of air that can be inhaled or exhaled in one deep breath
the volume of air breathed in or out with each breath during normal breathing
|
Vital capacity is measured from which part of a spirometer trace?
the height of each peak
the number of peaks in a minute
the maximum peak height
the slope of the trace
|
What is the term for the maximum volume of air that can be inhaled above a normal inhalation?
expiratory reserve volume
inspiratory reserve volume
tidal volume
residual volume
|
Expiratory reserve volume is defined as:
the maximum volume of air that can be inhaled above a normal inhalation
the volume of air that remains in the lungs after the largest possible exhalation
the volume of air breathed in or out with each breath during normal breathing
the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled above a normal exhalation
|
Which lung volume is the volume of air that remains in the lungs after the largest possible exhalation?
inspiratory reserve volume
tidal volume
vital capacity
residual volume
|
Total lung capacity is calculated by:
measuring the slope of a spirometer trace
adding vital capacity to residual volume
counting the number of peaks in a minute
multiplying tidal volume by breathing rate
|
Oxygen consumption is defined as:
the number of breaths taken per minute
the volume of oxygen inhaled per minute during respiration
the volume of oxygen used per minute
the maximum volume of air that can be inhaled or exhaled in one deep breath
|
How can oxygen consumption be measured from a spirometer trace?
by measuring the maximum peak height
by counting the number of peaks in a minute
by calculating the slope of the trace
by measuring the height of each peak
|
Ventilation rate is calculated by:
adding vital capacity to residual volume
multiplying tidal volume by breathing rate
measuring the slope of a spirometer trace
counting the number of peaks in a minute
|
The maximum volume of air that can be inhaled or exhaled in one deep breath is known as:
expiratory reserve volume
tidal volume
vital capacity
inspiratory reserve volume
