Measuring Lung Capacity
Measuring of Lung Capacity
Introduction
This lab report is over the functions of the lungs and a better understanding of how the respiratory function happens within your body. You will be measuring the amount of air you breathe in and out. This function is called tidal volume, which is about 500 cc of air. Second portion of the testing procedure will be determining the amount of vital capacity or maximum amount your lungs can expel. You will be working in pairs with a lab partner and take turns recording the results. My hypothesis for this procedure will be able to achieve average levels of volume during respiration.
Material and Methods
Materials that are need for this procedure will be; metric ruler, a clamp, and one balloon per person.
