Chapter 11, Problem 14P

The average compliance of the lungs and chest wall combined is 0.1 L/cm H2O. 0.2 L/cm H2O 0.3 L/cm H2O 0.4 L/cm H2O

The total lung capacity is calculated using which of the following formulas? residual volume + tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume residual volume + expiratory reserve volume + inspiratory reserve volume expiratory reserve volume + tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume residual volume + expiratory reserve volume + tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume

3. At sea level, a diver has the following: • Lung volume: 6 L • Pressure within the lungs: 755 mm Hg If this individual dives to a depth of 99 feet and compresses the lung volume to 2 L, what will be the pressure within the diver's lungs? A. 960 mm Hg B. 1420 mm Hg C. 1765 mm Hg D. 2265 mm Hg
