Contaminants2
  • Learn how indoor air-borne contaminants end up in the lungs and body. (bioedonline.org)
  • In addition, a spirometer often is used for finding the cause of shortness of breath, assessing the effect of contaminants on lung function, the effect of medication, and evaluating progress for disease treatment. (wikipedia.org)
Breath3
  • Students gauge their own vital lung capacity-the amount of air that can be forced out of the lungs in a single breath. (bioedonline.org)
  • Diagnose certain types of lung disease (such as COVID-19, bronchitis, and emphysema) Find the cause of shortness of breath Measure whether exposure to chemicals at work affects lung function Check lung function before someone has surgery Assess the effect of medication Measure progress in disease treatment The earliest attempt to measure lung volume can be dated back to the period A.D. 129-200. (wikipedia.org)
  • 1681, Borelli tried to measure the volume of air inspired in one breath. (wikipedia.org)
Heart1
  • He coined the term 'vital capacity', which was claimed as a powerful prognosis for heart disease by the Framingham study. (wikipedia.org)
Identify1
  • Students learn about the properties of air, identify microscopic entities found in dust, make a lung model, read about a pulmonologist, and trace air pathways in the body. (bioedonline.org)
Found1
Machine1
  • 1879 Gad J. published a paper entitled "Pneumatograph" that described a machine that allowed the recording of lung volume changes. (wikipedia.org)
