Lung volumes: calculate the model totals
Tue, Apr 27, 2027 · Week 15 · Human Anatomy & Physiology (Human Body Systems)
Today's goal: Calculate vital capacity and total lung capacity for two supplied models, showing units and assumptions.
Use this separate model to check your method. Your required work uses E1 and E2 from the packet. Keep the invented model values separate from measurements.
Model M, separate worked example: TV 0.4 L, IRV 2.0 L, ERV 0.8 L, assumed RV 1.0 L. VC = 0.4 + 2.0 + 0.8 = 3.2 L. TLC = 3.2 + 1.0 = 4.2 L.
| Quantity | Model M |
|---|---|
| TV | 0.4 L |
| IRV | 2.0 L |
| ERV | 0.8 L |
| RV, assumed | 1.0 L |
| VC | 3.2 L |
| TLC | 4.2 L |
This model shows the level of evidence and organization needed to complete: Original calculation practice supporting HBS 3.1.6, not official case answers.
- Read Reference R and Figure F1. Study Model M and answer its Try the rule question.
- Copy records E1 and E2. Mark the RV values as assumed. All values use liters (L).
- Complete all four calculation rows. Show the formula, substituted values, total and L.
- Answer Check 1 and Check 2. Submit the model prediction, table and check answers as one readable PDF in Wk15 Data table: Spirometry lab. Choose your own section below. Keep the table for tomorrow. If upload fails, keep the same PDF and tell Mr. Mendoza. Do not mark it submitted until the upload works.
E1 and E2 are the required records for this assignment. Model M or N/P shows the method. No personal measurement is needed. Save your file and tell Mr. Mendoza if upload fails.
Also due today: Use E1 and E2 for your own work. Follow the date's turn-in directions, not this example as a submission.
Turn in: Four lung-volume calculations, model prediction and two check answers
Go to Schoology to turn this in.
Submit one PDF. Schoology attaches your name to your upload; on the page itself, write your period and code. Name the file: FirstName LastName - Assignment Title - YYYY-MM-DD.pdf.

Claim ceiling: Compare the supplied models' lung volumes. These records cannot establish health, fitness, disease or air-sac structure.
One exam-style question that uses exactly what you practiced today. Try it before you reveal the answer, then read why each choice is right or wrong.

It builds this reusable test skill: Separating moved air from remaining air.
- Name the concept or data pattern being tested.
- Cross out choices that violate that rule or the evidence.
- Justify the best remaining choice before checking the answer.
