Which of the following decreases most appreciably during moderate exercise? TV IRV ERV FVC
Added by Betty E.
Step 1
- TV (Tidal Volume): The amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing. - IRV (Inspiratory Reserve Volume): The additional air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation. - ERV (Expiratory Reserve Volume): The additional air that can be exhaled Show more…

1. Why do expiratory reserve volume (ERV) and inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) decrease during heavy exercise? 2. Why does tidal volume (TV) increase during heavy exercise? 3. During an acute asthma attack, the compliance of the lung is decreased, not increased as it was for emphysema. How do you think the FEV1/FVC percentage of a patient undergoing an asthma attack will compare to normal? Explain your reasoning.

Vital capacity decreases with age (say after age 20), but TLC does not decrease. What changes in the lung volumes (TV/ERV/IRV/RV) contribute to VC are most likely to change with age to make the preceding statement true?
