Chapter 11, Problem 16P

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

If an individual fully inhales to a total lung capacity of 4.5 L at sea level (760 mm Hg) and dives to a depth of 66 feet, the lungs will be compressed to about A. 1.0 L B. 1.5 L C. 2.0 L D. 2.5 L
