Complete the following questions on the PowerPhys lab report! Results: 1. Did the breathing rate increase, decrease, or not change with exercise? (0.5 pt) Increase 2. Did the tidal volume increase, decrease, or not change with exercise? (0.5 pt) Increase 3. Did the expiratory reserve volume increase, decrease, or not change with exercise? (0.5 pt) Decrease 4. Did the inspiratory reserve volume increase, decrease, or not change with exercise? (0.5 pt) Decrease 5. Did the inspiratory capacity increase, decrease, or not change with exercise? (0.5 pt) Increase 7. Did the minute ventilation increase, decrease, or not change with exercise? (0.5 pt)Increase Discussion: 1. Explain the change in ERV with exercise. (1 pt) ERV is the amount of air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation. During exercise, ERV decreases due to heavier breathing. 2. Explain the change in IRV with exercise. (1 pt)I RV is the amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation. During exercise, IRV decreases due to quicker and shorter breaths, preventing full inhalation 3. Explain the change in IC with exercise. (1 pt) IC is the air inhaled after expiration. It increases during exercise to compensate for cardiovascular demands. 5. Explain why RV does not change with exercise. (1 pt) RV is the air left in your lungs after maximal exhalation. While it remains constant, it is crucial to optimal lung function. Targeted breathing exercises and respiratory muscle training can improve respiratory health 6. Explain why VC does not change with exercise. (1 pt) VC s the maximum amount of air that the lungs can exhale after a full inhalation. It only changes if there is an underlying issue that is compromising the respiratory system.
7. Explain why TLC does not change with exercise. (1 pt) TLC is the volume of air in the lungs after a full inhalation. It only changes if the respiratory system is compromised by an underlying issue. 9. Explain the importance of the change in minute ventilation with exercise. (1 pt) D uring exercise, minute ventilation increases significantly as the body's demand for oxygen rises. This is because tidal volume and respiratory rate increase, allowing the body to take in more oxygen to support increased movement and blood flow Important Review from PowerPhys: Respiratory Volumes Lung volume values will vary according to gender, age, height, health, and physical fitness. Air enters and leaves our lungs with each breath. Resting adults inhale and exhale 500 mL of air on average with each breath (tidal volume, TV) and breathe about 12 times per minute (breathing rate, BR).The product of tidal volume and breathing rate indicates the amount of air that moves into and out of the lungs each minute (minute ventilation, MV = TV × BR). Minute ventilation increases when the body is using more oxygen and producing more carbon dioxide, as occurs in exercising. A spirometer is an instrument used to measure lung volumes and capacities. The record resulting from the tests is called a spirogram. The spirometer used in this experiment measures both inspiratory and expiratory volumes. Tidal Volume (TV) — Tidal volume is the amount of air inhaled or exhaled in one breath. Resting tidal volume is normally about 500 milliliters. Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) — Volume of air that can be forcibly inhaled after normal, quiet inhalation (about 3100 mL or 3.1L) Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) — Volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after normal, quiet exhalation (about 1200mL or 1.2L) Residual volume (RV) — Volume of air that remains in the lungs after a maximal exhalation (about 1200mL or 1.2L) Lung capacities can be calculated by adding two or more lung volumes. Inspiratory capacity (IC) = TV + IRV = about 3600 mL or 3.6L Functional residual capacity (FRC) = ERV + RV = about 2400 mL or 2.4L Vital capacity (VC) = TV + IRV + ERV = about 4800mL or 4.8L Total lung capacity (TLC) = TV + IRV + ERV + RV = about 6000 mL or 6L The lung volume or capacity that is equal to FRC - ERV is the residual volume______. The lung volume or capacity that is equal to TV + IRV is the inspiratory capacity__.
If you breathe in as deeply as you can and then exhale as deeply as possible, which lung capacity have you demonstrated? Vital capacity Why are lung volumes measured? To examine, observe, and diagnosis respiratory disease The lung volume or capacity that is equal to IC - IRV is the tidal volume___. The lung volume or capacity that is equal to IC - TV is the inspiratory reserve volume______. The volume of air remaining in lungs after normal expiration is the functional residual capacity_______. The maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a normal expiration is the expiratory reserve volume_______. The value for which lung volume is about 500 mL? tidal Volume The lung volume or capacity that is equal to TV + IRV + ERV + RV is the total lung capacity_____.
