PhysioEx Exercise 7 Activity 1

PhysioEx Lab Report Exercise 7: Respiratory System Mechanics Activity 1: Measuring Respiratory Volumes and Calculating Capacities Name: Tania Chaney Date: 24 June 2024 Session ID: session-42a1494f-56e1-2e85-f36d-fd3c6e9854d4 Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 5 out of 5 questions correctly. Experiment Results Predict Question Which of the following statements describing the mechanics of breathing is false ? You correctly answered: Ventilation relies exclusively on contracting skeletal muscles. 1 The contraction of which of the following muscles will increase the thoracic cavity volume during inspiration? You correctly answered: the external intercostals. 2 At the beginning of inspiration, the You correctly answered: thoracic cavity volume increases. 3 At the beginning of expiration, the You correctly answered: pressure in the thoracic cavity increases. 4 A tidal volume refers to the You correctly answered: amount of air inspired and then expired with each breath under resting conditions. 5 Predict Question: Lung diseases are often classi fi ed as obstructive or restrictive. An obstructive disease a ff ects air fl ow , and a restrictive disease usually reduces volumes and capacities . Although they are not diagnostic, pulmonary function tests such as forced expiratory volume (FEV ) can help a clinician determine the di ff erence between obstructive and restrictive diseases. Speci fi cally, an FEV is the forced volume expired in 1 second. 1 1 1 PhysioEx Exercise 7 Activity 1 https://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc_0media_ap/physioex/10/ex7/act1/ 1 of 7 6/24/2024, 9:08 PM

Thus, FEV will Your answer: decrease proportionately. 1 Which muscles contract during quiet expiration? You correctly answered: none of these muscles contract during quiet expiration. 1 Minute ventilation is the amount of air that fl ows into and then out of the lungs in a minute. Minute ventilation (ml/min) = TV (ml/breath) x BPM (breaths/min). Using the values from the second recorded measurement, enter the minute ventilation. You answered: 7500 ml/min. 2 A useful way to express FEV is as a percentage of the forced vital capacity (FVC). Using the FEV and FVC values from the data grid, calculate the FEV (%) by dividing the FEV volume by the FVC volume (in this case, the VC is equal to the FVC) and multiply by 100%. Enter the FEV (%) for an airway radius of 5.00 mm. You answered: 73.9 %. 3 1 1 1 1 1 A useful way to express FEV is as a percentage of the forced vital capacity (FVC).

Airway radius = 3.00 mm Post-lab Quiz Results You scored 80% by answering 4 out of 5 questions correctly. To calculate a person's vital capacity, you need to know the TV, ERV, and You correctly answered: IRV. 1 Measuring a person's FVC means that you are measuring You correctly answered: the amount of air that can be expelled when the subject takes the deepest possible inspiration and then forcefully expires as completely and rapidly as possible. 2 PhysioEx Exercise 7 Activity 1 https://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc_0media_ap/physioex/10/ex7/act1/ 5 of 7 6/24/2024, 9:08 PM
