TITLE ! Investigation to determine whether or not relationships exist between gender or height with lung capacity of Year 9 students ! ! ! INTRODUCTION The capacity of our lungs is the volume of air our lungs can hold. Our lungs have a greater capacity than we use when we take a normal breath. Scientists use various terms to describe the different components of lung capacity. Tidal Volume is the amount of air breathed out in a single normal breath (inhalation and exhalation). The

Determining lung capacity Experiment: This is the experiment of determining lung capacity. All the students in the group measured three types of different parameters: vital capacity‚ expiratory reserve and tidal volume. “Lung volumeizing refer to physical differences in lung volume‚ while lung capacities represent different combinations of lung volumes‚ usually in relation to inhalation and exhalation.The average pair of human lungs can hold about 6 liters of air‚ but only a small amount of

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

LUNG CAPACITY Lung capacities are combinations of specific lung volumes. The lung capacities are measurements of two or more volumes. The total lung capacity (TLC) is a measurement of the total amount of air that the lung can hold; normally it is 6 litters for adult male and 4.2 litters for an adult female. The vital capacity (VC) measures the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled or exhaled during a respiratory cycle. The Residual Volume (RV) is the amount of gas remaining the lungs after a

breathing is Lung. There are two lungs in our body. The average size of the lungs is 11 in. All adult humans lungs are about the same size‚ but larger than a kid’s lungs because the adult body is bigger than a kid. The normal lungs have an average weight of 234g (s+/-39). The average pair of human lungs can hold about 5 litres of air. Approximately‚ human breath 24480 times in a day. The lungs are in the front of the chest and are locate beside the heart but heart is in the middle of two lungs. The lungs

How lungs Work Your lungs are part of a group of organs and tissues that all work together to help you breathe. This system is called the respiratory system. The main job of the respiratory system is to move fresh air into and get waste gases out of the body. Lungs are very important because Oxygen‚ a basic gas‚ is needed by every cell in your body in order to live. The air that comes into the body through the lungs contains oxygen and other gases. In the lungs‚ the

Cancer‚ it can affect anyone; it can affect any part of the body. The patient outcome for cancer is different for everyone‚ but it is also different which each type. In the respiratory department‚ a major type of cancer we will deal with is lung cancer. Lung cancer‚ however‚ has different types and stages‚ but for this paper we are going to talk about Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the article titled “Stage IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer” it was stated that‚ “Stage IIIA non-small

Lung Capacity in this lab‚ I learned about lung capacity and CO2 production. Lung capacity simply means the maximum amount of air you can take into your lungs. Lung capacity and CO2 production closely relate to the respiratory system. The respiratory system is the system in which oxygen goes into your body and carbon dioxide comes out; In short it’s breathing. The structures involved in the respiratory system are mouth/nose‚ mucus/cilia‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles‚ alveoli‚ pleura‚ and

Lifestyle Disease And Illnesses Lung Cancer Over 2‚340 Victorians are diagnosed with lung cancer every year. Lung cancer occurs most often in adults between the ages of 40 and 70 who have smoked cigarettes for at least 20 years. However‚ up to nine out of 10 lung cancers are caused by smoking. Lung cancer is the most common cause of death from cancer in Australia. What is lung cancer? The lungs are two organs which are located inside the chest cavity. As we breath in‚ the air
