Which values in this spirogram have not returned to those of the normal patient (select all that apply)?
You correctly answered: c. IRV d. RV e. FVC g. FEV1
For both types of exercise, the tidal volumes and breathing rates were increased. Compared with normal values, did tidal
volume or breathing rate increase more during moderate exercise? (Determine the percentage by which each value
changed.)
