Pulmonary Function

Description

Pulmonary Function Answer the following questions fully in paragraph form: 1. Draw a diagram to indicate the static measurement of lung volumes and capacities. Make sure to include the following labels: TV, VC, RV, and TLC. TV – Tidal Volume  VC – Vital Capacity RV – Residual Volume TLC – Total Lung Capacity 2. Conduct relevant research to look for these two measures: Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume at 1 Second (FEV1).  -Define FVC and FEV1. -What is the significance of the FEV1/FVC ratio? For a healthy adult, what are the normal values/ranges for FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC ratio? 3. Conduct relevant research to look for prediction formula/equations to predict FVC and FEV1. Indicate at least one. 4. Fuci is a trained endurance runner who is 28 years old and 1.77 m tall. His pulmonary function test gives you the following results: FVC = 5.04 L; FEV1 = 4.55 L.  -What does the ratio of these two variables tell you?  -How do Fuci’s values compared to a non-trained individual? 5. How would coronavirus/COVID-19 patients’ FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC ratio be likely different from normal apparently healthy individuals? For your reference, examples of pulmonary function tests with reasonable qualities are as below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4C8EInOMOI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-INa8hzro7o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uumWoE-thMM
