How would an asthmatic person's measurement of FEV1 and MVV compare to an athletic?
In general, athletes have trained to exhale quickly. (Oxygen loading only occurs during inspiration, and expiration serves mainly to rid the body of carbon dioxide, so athletes train to actively expire quickly. Their use of expiratory muscles assists in obtaining large measurements of FEV and MVV.) Due to the increased resistance of airways in an asthmatic, their FEV and MVV measurements are reduced for the same level of effort.

What is a fev?
Diameter of the airways?
How do you pronounce Lefebvre?
It is pronounced as le-FEV.
What happened to the FEV1 percent as the radius of the airways was decreased?
FEV 1 (%) will decrease as the airway radius is decreased. FEV 1 (%) is the amount of air that can be expelled from the lungs in one second during forced expiration. If the airway becomes smaller, then the resistance to airflow will increase and FEV 1 (%) will become lower.
How do you calculate expiratory reserve volume?
Erv = FEV - TV
Say feburary in french?

How many syllables does hay fever have?

Which of the measurable respiratory volumes would likely be exaggerated in a person who is cardiovascularly fit?
FEV, ERV, IRV and VC will increase in a person who is fit cardiovascularly. This is generally the case for swimmers and runners.
What the abbreviation for February?
'février' is abbreviated 'fev.' in French.
Have you had any fev?
Have you had any fever or vomiting? How much Imodium have you taken? If you live in the United States, any recent travel?
