The volume of air in the lungs and the rate at which it is exchanged during inspiration and expiration was measured.
The following diagram shows a group of the lung volumes and capacities.
Study the diagram carefully and explain briefly the following :
Residual volume (RV)
Answer
Residual volume (RV):Air left in the lungs, even after forcible expirationis called residual volume. It is 1500 mL.
The volume of air in the lungs and the rate at which it is exchanged during inspiration and expiration was measured.
The following diagram shows a group of the lung volumes and capacities.
Study the diagram carefully and explain briefly the following :
Vital capacity (VC)
Answer
Vital capacity (VC):Volume of air that can be taken in and expelled out by maximum inspiration and expirationis called vital capacity. It is 4500 mL.
The volume of air in the lungs and the rate at which it is exchanged during inspiration and expiration was measured.
The following diagram shows a group of the lung volumes and capacities.
Study the diagram carefully and explain briefly the following :
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
Answer
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV): Air that can be forcibly expelled out after a normal expiration is called expiratory reserve volume. It is also called supplemental air. It is 1000 mL.
The volume of air in the lungs and the rate at which it is exchanged during inspiration and expiration was measured.
The following diagram shows a group of the lung volumes and capacities.
Study the diagram carefully and explain briefly the following :
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
Answer
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV):Air that can be drawn in forcibly over and above the tidal airis called inspiratory reserve volume. It is also known as complemental air. It is 3000 mL.
The volume of air in the lungs and the rate at which it is exchanged during inspiration and expiration was measured.
The following diagram shows a group of lung volumes and capacities.
Study the diagram carefully and explain briefly the following :
Tidal volume (TV)
Answer
Tidal volume (TV):Air breathed in and out, in a normal quiet breathing is called tidal volume. It is 500mL.
Given below is an overall chemical reaction of a certain process:

Name one tissue in which this reaction occur.
Answer
This reaction may occur in muscular tissues (skeletal muscles).
Given below is an overall chemical reaction of a certain process:
$C_6H_{12}O_6$→LacticAcid+2ATP+Heat energy
Is this reaction applicable to animals or to plants or to both animals and plants?
What is wrong in the statement "We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide".
Answer
We inhale air which contains more oxygen and less carbon dioxide. We exhale air which contains more carbon dioxide and less of oxygen. Therefore, the statement "We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide" is wrong.
How would you prove that air you breathe out is warmer?
Answer
During breathing, the air expelled out is always warmer or at body temperature. It can be felt by breathing out the air on our own hand. One can feel the warmth of the air expelled out during breathing.
What are the functions of the following in breathing? Diaphragm
Answer
Diaphragm: On contraction, the diaphragm falls or flattens from the dome-shaped outline to an almost horizontal plane and thus, contributes to the enlargement of the chest cavity lengthwise.
With regard to the respiratory system and the process of respiration in man, answer the following question : Give the overall chemical equation to represent the process of respiration in humans.
Answer
The overall chemical equation for the process of respiration in humans: $\ce{C6H12O6 + 6O2 ->[Enzymes] 6CO2 + 6H2O + 38ATP + 420 kcal}$
With regard to the respiratory system and the process of respiration in man, answer the following questions: Name the two muscles that help in breathing.
Give Suitable Explanation for the Following : Breathing through the nose is said to be healthier than through the mouth.
Answer
Breathing through the nose is said to be healthier than through the mouth because the hair present in the nostrils prevent large dust particles from entering inside the respiratory system.
Differentiate between the following pairs on the basis of the aspect given in the brackets.
Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration (End products of the process)
Answer
Aerobic respiration :- $CO_2, H_2O, ATP$, Heat energy
Anaerobic respiration :- Lactic acid, ATP, Heat energy
