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.
This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.
Model M, separate worked example: TV 0.4 L, IRV 2.0 L, ERV 0.8 L, assumed RV 1.1 L. VC = 0.4 + 2.0 + 0.8 = 3.2 L. TLC = 3.2 + 1.1 = 4.3 L.
| Quantity | Model M |
|---|---|
| TV | 0.4 L |
| IRV | 2.0 L |
| ERV | 0.8 L |
| RV, assumed | 1.1 L |
| VC | 3.2 L |
| TLC | 4.3 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.
- Name the variables and include units.
- Enter observations without changing the raw values.
- Check labels, calculations, and patterns before interpreting the data.
Keep the structure. Replace the question, facts, measurements, and evidence. Then recheck units, vocabulary, and whether the conclusion goes beyond the evidence.
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: Model M: a separate calculation example

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.
