Lung volumes and capacities refer to the different measurements used to describe the amount of air in the respiratory system at various stages of the breathing cycle. These measurements provide valuable information about lung function and respiratory mechanics. Here’s a detailed note on lung volumes and capacities: 1. Lung Volumes: …
Respiratory volumes and capacities
Lung Volumes and Capacities: Lung volumes and capacities describe the amount of air within the lungs and the ability to move air during different phases of respiration. Here are the commonly measured lung volumes and capacities: 1. Tidal Volume (TV): The, Tidal Volume measures the air volume the lungs inhale …
