  2. Lung volumes and capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_volumes_and_capacities

    The average total lung capacity of an adult human male is about 6 litres of air. [1] Tidal breathing is normal, resting breathing; the tidal volume is the volume of air that is inhaled or exhaled in only a single such breath. The average human respiratory rate is 30–60 breaths per minute at birth, [2] decreasing to 12–20 breaths per minute ...

    The European Food Safety Authority recommends 2.0 litres (70 imp fl oz; 68 US fl oz) of total water per day for women and 2.5 litres (88 imp fl oz; 85 US fl oz) per day for men. [ 3 ] The common advice to drink 8 glasses (1,900 mL or 64 US fl oz) of plain water per day is not scientific; thirst is a better guide for how much water to drink than ...

  5. Tidal volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_volume

    Tidal volume (symbol V T or TV) is the volume of air inspired and expired with each passive breath. [1] It is typically assumed that the volume of air inhaled is equal to the volume of air exhaled such as in the figure on the right. In a healthy, young human adult, tidal volume is approximately 500 ml per inspiration at rest or 7 ml/kg of body ...

  6. Minute ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_ventilation

    The healthy human body will alter minute volume in an attempt to maintain physiologic homeostasis. A normal minute volume while resting is about 5–8 liters per minute in humans. [1] Minute volume generally decreases when at rest, and increases with exercise. For example, during light activities minute volume may be around 12 litres.

    Thirty years later in 1824, the imperial gallon was defined to be the volume occupied by ten pounds of water at 17 °C (62 °F). [5]: 394 This definition was further refined until the United Kingdom's Weights and Measures Act 1985, which makes 1 imperial gallon precisely equal to 4.54609 litres with no use of water. [11]

  9. Body water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_water

    In Netter's Atlas of Human Physiology (2002), body water is broken down into the following compartments: [6] Intracellular fluid (2/3 of body water) is fluid contained within cells. In a 72 kg (159 lb) body containing 40 litres of fluid, about 25 litres is intracellular, [9] which amounts to 62.5%. Jackson's texts states 70% of body fluid is ...
