Functions of the pulmonary system?

Introduction:

(1 pt) What are the functions of the pulmonary system?

(3 pt) How are the pulmonary volumes measured, and what do these measurements tell us?

Results:

(2 pts) Report your results from lab (FVC lying and standing, FEV1 standing, MVV12)

(2 pts) Report mean values for males and females (FVC standing)

(2 pts) Turn in the completed prediction quadrant

Discussion:

(3 pts) Identify any differences between males and females if they exist. EXPLAIN

What affect did being in a supine position have on the FVC value? What causes this difference?

3. A 20-year old male weighing 210 pounds and 74 inches tall had an FVC of 4.6 liters and an FEV1 of 3.0 liters. Based on these results, and the handouts etc., what do you conclude about this person’s pulmonary system?
