Answer:

The residual volume is the amount of air remaining in the lungs after a forced expiration.

The volume of air exchanged during normal breathing is called the tidal volume.

After a normal inspiration, the amount of air that can then be inspired forcefully is called the inspiratory reserve volume .

If you subtract the residual volume from the total lung capacity, you get the vital capacity.

The vital capacity minus the expiratory reserve volume equals the inspiratory capacity.

The effects of obstructive diseases such as asthma or emphysema may be determined by measuring the forced expiratory volume .

Answer:

The <u>residual volume</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> .

If you subtract the residual volume from the total lung capacity, you get the <u>vital capacity</u> .

The vital capacity minus the <u>expriratory reserve volume</u> equals the inspiratory capacity.

The effects of obstructive diseases such as asthma or emphysema may be determined by measuring the <u>forced expiratory volume</u> .

Explanation:

The definitions mentioned above are used to check the amount of air that goes in and out of our lungs when we breathe. It is important to know these concepts and normal volumes to determine if something is wrong with a patient or to know what test should be done to check the lungs and their capacities, such as spirometry or plethysmography.

Handedness is fairly well established occurs at age
Alisiya [41]

Answer: Many left-handed people report being able to use their right hand very well for a certain burden(task), because of needing to adapt to tools which are usually designed for right-handed people like scissors, golf clubs, and some people are also mix-handed, where they perform some tasks with one hand and other tasks with the opposite hand. Some people have true ambidexterity where they can perform burden(task) equally well with both hands. Learning Point is were children begin to develop hand dominance around about 2 to 3 years and this should be well developed by the age of 5 and fully developed by the age of 6. Use of a dominant hand before 2-3 years time may occur because of abnormal fine motor development. It could also be the result of an intracranial injury or an injury to a limb with appropriate compensation by the other limb. The development of hand dominance after the age of 6 years, again may indicate abnormal development.
