the differences between lung volume versus and lung capacity

The main difference between lung volume and lung capacity is that the lung volume is small whereas the lung capacity is large. The values of lung volume are directly measured by a spirometer while the values of lung capacity are calculated by combining two or three lung volumes.

OverviewSpirometer: Measures an individual's pulmonary function.Record lung volume measurements & generates a graph (spirogram) to analyze the efficiency of an individual's lung function.Here, we analyze the spirogram of an average adult male: y-axis = volume (liters) → spirograms record air volume (between 0 - 6 liters) x-axis = time (seconds) → spirograms record over time. Key Values and Spirogram AnalysisTidal volume (TV): Volume of air inspired during quiet breathing → 0.5…

Respiratory Mechanics - VentilationFunctions of Respiratory System:Bring in oxygen: fuels cell metabolic activity.Release carbon dioxide: rids body of metabolic waste.Regulate blood pH: via regulation of blood oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations.Three major components:1. Muscular and skeletal components of the chest wall: the "pump".2. Alveoli = interfaces for gas exchange ("gas exchanger").3. Areas of the brain that stimulate respiratory function (the controller").Boyle's Law and The…
