1. In the space below, hand draw a representative spirogram that illustrates Tidal Volume,
Inspiratory Reserve Volume, Expiratory Reserve Volume and Vital Capacity. Label this drawing
as Figure 1 and provide an appropriate caption.
2. Use horizontal lines and two-headed vertical arrows on the spirogram above to delineate the
following: Tidal Volume, Inspiratory Reserve Volume, Expiratory Reserve Volume and Vital
Capacity. Label each of these parts.
3. In quiet breathing, muscular effort is used mainly in inspiration, and expiration is largely passive,
due to elastic recoil of the lung. Can you relate this fact to the pattern of expiratory and
inspiratory flow seen on the Lab Tutor recording? Hint: the normal pattern of breathing is
efficient in that it requires muscular effort for only a short time.
4. Explain why RV cannot be determined by ordinary spirometry?
9. In your own words explain the physiological events that occurred during this simulated asthma
attack. Hint: Think about what it felt like and how that would affect your general state of
wellbeing and activity level.
Note: Before printing this report for submission, check the formatting and
add page breaks as necessary to make sure none of the figures or table are
separated on two pages.
