The <u>residual air</u> is the amount of air remaining in the lungs after a forced expiration. The volume of air exchanged during normal breathing is called the <u>tidal volume</u>. After a normal inspiration, the amount of air that can then be inspired forcefully is called the <u>inspiratory reserve volume</u>. The total lung capacity minus the residual volume equals the <u>vital capacity</u>. The vital capacity minus the <u>expiratory reserve volume </u>equals the inspiratory capacity. The effects of <u>obstructive disorders</u>, such as asthma or emphysema, may be determined by measuring rapid exhalation with a spirometer.

The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system. These lungs are also the site of exchange of gases. The air is inspired through the nostrils and this air then reaches the lungs, where the oxygen from air is trapped in the alveoli. This oxygen then diffuses into the bloodstream through capillaries, which is then sent to the heart. From the heart this oxygenated blood travels to different parts of the body. There are several different units of measurement that are used for the measurement of inspired and expired air and their volume.

Gnom [1K]

  When  sodium chloride  is formed  from a positively charged sodium atom and a  negatively  charged  chlorine  atom,  the charge  on the salt becomes  neutral   is true

 Explanation

Sodium  ion ( positively  charged)  combine with chloride  ion ( negatively charged)  to  sodium chloride which  is neural  according  to equation below.

Na⁺   +  Cl⁻    →  NaCl  (<em>neutral</em>)

Equal  number  of positive  and negative  charges  add up to make neutral  Nacl therefore the statement above is true.

Hormones or paracrines that inhibit gastric secretion include ________.
const2013 [10]

The correct answer is: D) secretin

Gastric secretion is highly regulated whether its secretion should be increased (when food is eaten) or decresed (as the stomach empties). Secretion is controlled by the nervous system and endocrine system that work together. There are three phases of gastric secretory control:

Cephalic-by the brain

Gastric-by the stomach itself

Intestinal- by the small intestine

All of three can work simultaneously.

Secretin is released by duodenal enteroendocrine cells and it stimulates the pancreas and gall bladder, but also suppresss gastric secretion and motility. Secretion of the secretin is stimulated by the chime and it is the part of intestinal phase.
