The Respiratory System
Lung volumes and minute ventilation
- 3 things to know
- Paper 1
Overview
Tidal volume, inspiratory and expiratory reserve volumes, residual volume, minute ventilation with worked examples, and responses to submaximal and maximal exercise.
What you need to know
Answer each one before you reveal it.
Define tidal volume.
What happens to tidal volume during exercise?
Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
Define tidal volume.
Model answer
Tidal volume is the volume of air breathed in or out per breath. A typical resting value is about 500 ml.
- 2
What happens to tidal volume during exercise?
Model answer
Tidal volume increases during exercise. Deeper breaths draw on both the inspiratory and expiratory reserve volumes.
- 3
Define inspiratory reserve volume.
Model answer
Inspiratory reserve volume is the extra air that can be forcibly breathed in after a normal breath. A typical resting value is about 3,000 ml.
- 4
How does inspiratory reserve volume change during exercise, and why?
Model answer
Inspiratory reserve volume decreases during exercise. The larger tidal volume of each deeper breath takes up part of the reserve.
- 5
Define expiratory reserve volume.
Model answer
Expiratory reserve volume is the extra air that can be forcibly breathed out after a normal breath. A typical resting value is about 1,200 ml.
- 6
How does expiratory reserve volume change during exercise?
Model answer
Expiratory reserve volume decreases slightly during exercise. More forceful breathing out uses some of this reserve as part of the tidal volume.
