Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FEV1 stands for forced expiratory volume in one second, which is the volume of air that can be expired during the first second of expiration in a vital-capacity determination.

Answer: A
 Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after taking the deepest breath possible.

Answer: K
 Expiratory reserve volume is the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation.

Answer: D
 Tidal volume is the volume of air that is inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing.

Answer: E
 Residual volume is the volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximal exhalation.

Answer: F
 Total lung capacity is the total amount of air that can be held in the lungs.

Answer: G
 Functional residual capacity is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after a normal exhalation.

Answer: M
 Anatomic dead space volume is the volume of air that occupies the non-respiratory conducting airways.

Note: Respiratory rate, alveolar ventilation, pulmonary ventilation, inspiratory reserve volume, and inspiratory capacity are not described in the column.
