ch 17 quiz

Which of the following is the amount of air left in the lungs after a maximal exhalation?

RV

Which of the following is the correct sequence of events for an inhalation?

Thorax volume increases → Pip decreases → Palv decreases → Prs decreases

A person has the following lung volumes: TV = 500 mL, TLC = 6000 mL, RV = 1200 mL, IC = 3800. From this information, calculate ERV.

1000 mL

An increase in the volume of the alveoli would directly result in

A decrease in Palv

In the relationship between pressure and volume, which of the following statements is correct? -P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 -When volume changes, pressure changes in the opposite direction -There is an inverse relationship between volume and pressure -All of these are correct

All of these are correct
