Questions and Answers

Match the lung volume or capacity with its corresponding definition:

FVC = The maximum volume of air that can be exhaled forcefully after a full inspiration. MVV = The maximum volume of air that can be inhaled and exhaled repeatedly through the lungs over a period of time (about 12 sec). PEFR = The maximum flowrate achieved during a forced expiratory maneuver. IC = Maximum inspiration followed by a forced and rapid maximum expiration

Match the following lung volumes and capacities with their corresponding calculations:

FRC = ERV + RV TLC = IRV + Vt + ERV + RV IC = IRV + Vt ERV = FRC - RV

Match the component lung volumes to the capacity they form:

IC = VT + IRV FRC = RV + ERV VC = IRV + VT + ERV TLC = IRV + VT + ERV + RV

Which formulas represent the calculation for the following lung volumes or capacities?

Study Notes

  • VC (vital capacity) is the maximum volume of air that can be inhaled and exhaled repeatedly through the lungs over a period of time, about 12 sec
  • IC (inspiratory capacity) is maximum inspiration followed by a forced and rapid maximum expiration
  • FRC (functional residual capacity) equals ERV + RV
  • TLC (total lung capacity) equals IRV + Vt + ERV
  • MVV (maximum voluntary ventilation) equals ERV + RV
  • PEFR (peak expiratory flow rate) is the maximum flowrate achieved during a forced expiratory maneuver
  • Vt (tidal volume) equals IRV + Vt
  • FVC (forced vital capacity) is IC - IRV
  • IRV (inspiratory reserve volume) equals IC - Vt
  • ERV (expiratory reserve volume) equals FRC - RV

Bernoulli's Principle

  • Bernoulli's principle was discovered by Daniel Bernoulli in the 18th century.
  • For an inviscid flow, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.

How Wings Generate Lift

  • Higher pressure below the wing pushes it upward.
  • Air flowing over the wing travels a longer distance creating low pressure.
  • Air flowing under the wing travels a shorter distance creating high pressure.
  • Wings have an aerofoil shape.

Bernoulli's Equation

  • Bernoulli's Equation: $P + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 + \rho g h =$ constant
  • P = Pressure
  • $\rho$ = density
  • v = velocity
  • h = height
  • g = gravity
