Answer the following essay question:
1. Muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disease which restricts the lungs from fully
expanding due to muscular weakness. If a person is diagnosed with muscular
dystrophy:
1) Which of the following statements regarding pulmonary function would be true?
2) Explain your answer.
A. Inspiratory capacity would be abnormally low
B. Vital capacity would abnormally high
C. Total lung capacity would remain the same - CORRECT ANSWER: My answer
(correct):
A. Inspiratory capacity would be abnormally low because inspiratory capacity is known
as the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled into the lungs beyond normal effort. If
an individual has the disease of muscular dystrophy that restricts the lungs from fully
expanding due to muscular weakness, this would mean their ability and capacity to
inhale normal levels (or even more so anything beyond normal inhalation levels) would
be drastically lower.
(Their inspiratory capacity being abnormally low would also deny that their vital capacity
would be abnormally high or that their total lung capacity would remain the same).
Tests also correct answer:
, A. Inspiratory capacity would be abnormally low
Vital capacity would decrease because there is a decreased ability to bring in as much
air compared to normal values because of muscular weakness.
Inspiratory Capacity (IC) = TV+IRV (or) VC-ERVDecreased VC, decreased IC
