Lung Capacity Lab Report

Cellular respiration is the chemical process in which organic molecules, such as sugars, are broken down in the cell to produce utilizable energy in the form of ATP. ATP is the chemical used by all of the energy-consuming metabolic activities of the cell. In order to extract energy from these organic molecules, cellular respiration involves a network of metabolic pathways dedicated to this task.

An incentive spirometer is a device that our patients use to improve the function of their lungs. This main underlying principle is that breathing can be exercised to train the expansion of lungs capacity (Potter, Perry, Stockert, & Hall, 2013). Patients who qualify for this intervention include those who have recently had a surgery, were under anesthesia, or have been placed on bed rest. Our main concern here is that these situations create opportunity for less activity within the lungs, which can put the patient at risk for pneumonia.

The incentive spirometer is a medical plastic device that allows you when taking deep breath and exhaling, it expands your lungs. It consists of a mouthpiece, a flexible tubing, a piston, a breathing coach indicator, a yellow indicator and a barrel. It uses to assist patient after surgery or any person who want to improve their lungs function especially patient or any person who is restricted to be in bed for many days. It fortifies and exercises lungs and keeps them pure and dynamic. It helps with lung expansion after taking steady deep

Moving on to Part 2 of the respiratory lab, the experiment was designed to observe the difference between length of breath-hold and ventilation type. These ventilation types consist of normal breathing, re-breathing, and hyperventilating. The second component to part 2 was to see a correlation between the

Combustion vs Respiration Activity 1 - Answer the following question in relation to combustion Explain what a combustion reaction is. Combustion usually occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Write the general word equation for combustion. In words, the equation for combustion, in most cases, is a hydrocarbon plus oxygen equals carbon dioxide plus water plus heat.

Patients had to measure their IC by using an incentive spirometer to measure static lung values. They performed this test for 20 minutes after inhaling 400 mg of salbutamol via a nebulizer. The patients were asked to use the FVC spirometer and told to take a deep breath and then to let the breath out passively. They were then asked to do the same maneuver 2 more times, but the closeness made the study choose the first attempt.

Prior to each spirometry session a 3Litre test syringe is used to calibrate the micro lab spirometer

1. Dependent Variable. respiratory volumes 2. Independent Variable. level of physical activity [resting or exercising] 3. Controlled Variables. height; age; sex 4. Which respiratory volume was calculated? Breating rate, TV, ERV, and IRV. 5. What was the purpose of the nose clip? the nose clip was used for the lung function testing to prevent leakage with

The prevalence of asthma has steadily grown in both the US and world populations, and continues to do so. In the US alone, 25 million people were diagnosed with asthma by 2010 (CDC, 2013). In turn, the need to accurately assess the functionality of a patient’s lung capacity is an essential step to begin diagnosis and treatment of their condition. This paper examines the mechanical peak flow meter, which was crafted for assessing lung function capacity in asthmatic patients. In addition, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of usage of the peak flow meter, as well as the proper usage. Among the various instruments used to assess a patient’s lung capacity, the mechanical peak flow meter is the most widely used and among one of the most precise measurement tools (CDC, 2013).

8) Make a graph of heart rate and breathing rate (please put both sets of data on the same graph) versus time after exercise. (from lab paper)

Introduction: Late onset obese asthmatics are associated with reduced L-arginine and greater levels of asymmetric di-methyl arginine (ADMA). This imbalance increases nitric oxide synthase (NOS) uncoupling leading to reduced nitric oxide (NO) and increased oxidative and nitrosative stress. However, the role of the human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) in regulating this process in asthma is unknown.

OPENING 1. Introduce the lesson by asking the students "What are things your body has to do in order to survive?" (Students should list several things, including breathing). 2. Ask the students the following: "Why do we need to breathe in?"

measure lung capacity, such as a spirometry to measure the volume of air a patient can blow out,

TABLE 1: This table represents the lung capacity of people who do exercise constantly, their lung capacity was measured with the balloon who after that was introduce into the bucket and water was represented en ml in the table below.

Carry out an experiment to measure the heart rate and ventilation rate before, during and after moderate exercise.
