Question

As part of a physiology experiment, a human subject is asked to breathe through a hose 1 m long and 3 cm in diameter (the end of the hose is open to air in the room). How much should tidal volume gavrbto Change compared to that measured in the same subject breathing normally? As part of a physiology experiment, a human subject is asked to breathe through a hose 1 m long and 3 cm in diameter (the end of the hose is open to air in the room). How much should tidal volume gavrbto Change compared to that measured in the same subject breathing normally?

Explanation / Answer

When the human subject is asked to breathe through a hose 1 m long and 3 cm in diameter so the tidal volume of the human subject will be decreased because the tidal volume is the amount of the air which eneres the lungs during normal inhalation but in this case the breathe is through a hose so there is change in the tidal volume and the human subject will feel uncomfortable to take breathe through a hose. The tidal volume will be below 500ml in case of breathe through a 1 m long and 3 cm in diameter hose

Tidal Volume: The amount of air which enters the lungs during normal inhalation at rest. The average tidal volume is 500ml. The same amount leaves the lungs during exhalation.
