BIOS 255 Wk 7 EDAPT: The Respiratory System: Physiology Latest Update
) Questions with Answers | Grade A | 100% Correct
The relationship between pressure and volume in a closed
space is described by - ANSWER Boyle's Law
Which gas is the most common in the atmosphere? - ANSWER
Nitrogen
Which is not considered a conducting zone structure? -
ANSWER alveoli
In spirometry, what is the definition of tidal volume (TV)? -
ANSWER The volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a normal,
quiet breath.
Which lung volume represents the air that remains in the lungs
after a maximal exhalation and never leaves, maintaining lung
elasticity? - ANSWER residual volume (RV)
What is a function of anatomical dead space in the respiratory
system? - ANSWER Humidification and filtration of inhaled air
, 2|Page
Which calculate describes the total amount of air inhaled per
minute? - ANSWER Minute ventilation rate
A client has a tidal volume of 650 mL/breath, an anatomical
dead space of 150 mL, and a respiratory rate of 20 breaths/min.
Calculate the client's alveolar rate (AVR) - ANSWER 10 L/min
What is the primary purpose of measuring functional residual
capacity (FRC) in spirometry? - ANSWER To assess the amount
of air left in the lungs after a normal exhalation
What is a characteristic of restrictive lung disorders? - ANSWER
Decreased lung compliance
Because gas exchange does it occur within the conducting zone
of the respiratory system, it is also referred to as - ANSWER
Anatomical dead space
A client has a tidal volume of 600 mL/breath and a respiratory
rate of 15 breaths/min. Calculate the client's minute respiratory
volume (MRV)? - ANSWER 9 L/min
