Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tidal volume is the volume of air entering or leaving the lungs in a single breath during quiet breathing.

Answer: A
 Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximal inhalation.

Answer: G
 Functional residual capacity is the amount of air left in the lungs after a normal exhalation.

Answer: L
 Inspiratory capacity is the amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal exhalation.

Answer: E
 Residual volume is the volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximal exhalation.

Answer: M
 Anatomic dead space volume is the volume of air in the conducting airways that does not participate in gas exchange.

Note: Respiratory rate, FEV1, pulmonary ventilation, and alveolar ventilation are not lung volumes or capacities, but rather respiratory parameters or measures.
