it decreases because of abdominal compression of organs due to displacement by the enlarged uterus which nullifies the abdominal respiration and downward movement of diaphragm to aid respiration is also decreased

What does it mean vital capacity decrease?
vital capacity is the amount of air inspired, 450-500so if it is less than 450 ml its called decrease vcvc is measured by using spirometer
What is the approximate percent decrease of vital capacity in the same individual from age 25 to 75?
Vital capacity generally decreases by about 20-30% between ages 25 and 75 due to natural aging processes such as changes in lung elasticity and muscle strength. Regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help minimize this decline.
What is the approximate percent decrease of vital capacity in the same person from age 25 to 75?
approxiately 33%
Why does vital capacity gradually decrease with age?
Vital capacity decreases with age due to changes in lung elasticity, chest wall compliance, and muscle strength. These changes can lead to a decrease in the ability of the lungs to stretch and fill with air, resulting in a reduced amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximal inhalation. Additionally, age-related factors such as decreased respiratory muscle strength and changes in lung structure can further contribute to the decline in vital capacity.
What is the difference between Forced vital capacity and vital capacity?
there is no difference.
How does your calculated vital capacity compare to recorded vital capacity?

Why vital capacity and maximal voluntary ventilation MVV decrease with age?
Vital Capacity gradually decreases with age because, as one ages, the elastic fibers in the lung gradually decrease as well. This results in less elastance and greater compliance of the lungs: think of an over stretched rubber band. Further, the muscles of chest weaken with age; hence, the lungs are unable to exert the same force to bring air in or out so the vital capacity (what we are able to breath in and out or maximal ventilation) is decreased.
What is vital capacity of lungs?
the vital capacity of lungs is 3.5 liters to 4.5 litres
What can reduce vital capacity?
There are many reasons that could increase or decrease vital capacity in a person. Respiratory conditions are a major factor in how much air a person can take in.
What is vital lung capacity?
vital lung capacity is how much air remains in your lungs after you exhale
The lung volume that represents the total volume of exchangeable air is the?
vital capacity
For vital capacity what units are the measurements in?
My vital capacity is 1650cc (Yes, it's very low, but I'm twelve and I'm small). cc is used to measure vital capacity.
