What does total lung capacity equals?
Total lung volume equals Vital Capacity + Residual Volume.
The air remaining in the lung after a maximal expiration is the?
residual volume
What is residual volume of air?
Residual volume is the amount of air left in the lungs after a maximal exhalation
What is the functional residual capacity FRC composed of?
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) + Residual Volume (RV)
What measurement in addition to vital capacity is needed before you can calculate your total lung capacity?
Residual volume
What volume allows gas exchange to go on continuously?
Residual volume allows gas exchange to go on continuously
What is the function of residual volume?
The function of residual volume is to keep enough pressure in the lungs to keep them from collapsing.
What type of air is residual volume?
residual volume is the amount of air left in your lungs after fully exhaling.
Which volume of air is not included in the vital capacity?
residual (reserve) volume
Amy total lung capacity is 4000 mls Her tidal volume is 500 mls her expiratory reserve volume is 1000 mls and her residual volume is 500 mls What is the maximum volume of air that she has?
Well, first there is no such thing as mls. It is mL.
What is rvs lab test?
residual volume specimen
Why is residual volume important?
Residual Volume (rv) is important because it prevents the lungs from collapsing. It also prevents the inside surfaces of the lungs touching, thus creating friction. It also prevents the inner surfaces of the lungs sticking together. Another reason why we have a residual volume is that gaseous exchange is continuously occurring so after we have expelled as much air as possible (expiratory reserve volume) gaseous exchange is still occurring. Residual volume can be shown in this equation: residual volume = inspiratory reserve volume - tidal volume - expiratory reserve volume for an average person residual volume will be around 1 to 1.5 litres.
