Spirometry is one method that we used to measure the volumes difference in amount of air breathed in or out and how quickly the air is inhaled and exhaled from the mouth while breathing through a mouthpiece. In this present study, we measured the lungs volumes during normal breathing and with the maximum forced expiratory flow rates. For this experiment, we use the Phipps and bird wet spirometer to measured Tidal Volume (TV), Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV), Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV), and Vital Capacity (VC). The purpose of this experiment is to determine various lung volumes for an individual and to compare them to average lung volumes.
