What measurement in addition to vital capacity is needed before you can calculate your total lung capacity?
The reason the elasticity and surface tension of the lungs do not cause the lungs to collapse between exhalation and inhalation is because the intrapulmonary pressure is higher than the atmospheric pressure the intrapleural pressure is less than the intrapulmonary pressure the intrapulmonary pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure the intrapleural pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure more than one of the above
Describe the airway of Emmett who is having an asthma attack. What would be the desired effect of treating this patient with medications such as beta2-agonists and corticosteroids?
Spirometry and lung volumes may be two PFTs that you have heard of. They help to diagnose obstructive or restrictive lung disease, monitor disease progression, and check whether treatments are effective. Understanding the different volumes and capacities associated with lung function will help you to better understand PFTs, respiratory disease and treatment for your patients. Lung volumes include tidal volume (TV), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), expiratory reserve volume (ERV), and residual volume (RV). The various lung capacities include inspiratory capacity (IC), vital capacity (VC), functional residual capacity (FRC), and total lung capacity (TLC). choose 3 different lung volumes or lung capacities to explain in your own words. research a chronic lung disease (such as asthma, COPD, emphysema, fibrosis, etc) and explain how it affects specific lung volumes and/or capacities.

Callisto is hiding from Xena under a pile of leaves. She is worried that if she takes slow, deep breaths (tidal volume = 650 mL, breathing rate = 11/min), the pile of leaves will move up and down, and Xena will notice her. Therefore, she takes rapid, shallow breaths (tidal volume = 210 mL, breathing rate = 25/min). Please note anatomical dead space = 150mL Determine Xena’s alveolar ventilation in both cases and discuss which breathing pattern provides better oxygen supply to her body. Show your calculations.
