Introduction:Spirometry is the classic pulmonary function test‚ which measures the volume of air inspired or expired as a function of time. It can monitor quiet breathing and thereby measure tidal volume‚ and also trace deep inspirations and expirations to give information about vital capacity. Spirometrymay also be used to measure forced expiration rates and volumes and to compute FEV1/FVC ratios. Spirometry provides an objective measurement of lung function. It will measure the Expiratory Vital

Human Physiology – Article Summary 1-30-14 “Men go abroad to wonder at the height of mountains‚ at the huge waves of the sea‚ at the long courses of the rivers‚ at the vast compass of the oceans‚ at the circular motion of the stars‚ and pass by themselves without wondering” – St. Augustine. Phillip Bishop used this quote to introduce his article about the evidence of God in human physiology. He discusses three topics to help prove his point: 1) the complexity of man and what it suggests

Christopher Couchell Muscle Physiology Purpose: The Purpose of this exercise is to understand how muscle twitch‚ contract and react to different activities. Exercise 1: Muscle Twitch A. What is a muscle twitch? A muscle twitch is the fasciculation ‚ or "muscle twitch"‚ is a small‚ local‚ involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation visible under the skin. B. According to the graphs‚ which muscle has the fastest twitch? Why? The lateral rectus eye muscle has the fastest twitch.
