Measuring of Lung Capacity Introduction This lab report is over the functions of the lungs and a better understanding of how the respiratory function happens within your body. You will be measuring the amount of air you breathe in and out. This function is called tidal volume‚ which is about 500 cc of air. Second portion of the testing procedure will be determining the amount of vital capacity or maximum amount your lungs can expel. You will be working in pairs with a lab partner and take turns recording

ABSTRACT The flow measuring apparatus is designed to study which the most preferable flow meter from different typical methods of measuring the discharge of an incompressible fluid. This can be identify by measuring the flow rate and the head loss with later to be compared to the different flow meter which is venture meter‚ orifice meter and rotameter. INTRODUCTION The objectives of this experiment are to demonstrate the characteristics of some various commonly used methods of measuring fluid flow rates

Measuring Brain Activity Most of the noninvasive imaging methods estimate brain activity by changes in blood flow‚ oxygen consumption‚ glucose utilization‚ etc. Discuss the potential problems with using this type of indirect measure. The brain is the control center of the human body. It sends and receives millions of signals every second‚ day and night‚ in the form of hormones‚ nerve impulses‚ and chemical messengers. This exchange of information makes us move‚ eat‚ sleep‚ and think.
