Ligament & Meniscus. Related topic Background Each knee has two menisci. They are commonly called âthe cartilageâ, although this is not strictly accurate. There is one on the medial (inner) side of the knee and one on the lateral (outer) side of the knee. They are C, or crescent shaped, and serve to cup the femur as it sits on the tibia to improve the congruity of the joint.
expiratory reserve volume. Type:Term. Definitions. 1. the maximal volume of air (about 1000 mL) that can be expelled from the lungs after a normal expiration.
It is calculated by multiplying the tidal volume by the normal breathing rate per minute.[500Ã12= 6000ml/mt]. 8. The alveolar ventilation rate [AVR] is the volume of air per minute that reaches the alveoli. 9. Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)[3,000 mL]:- Amount of air in excess of tidal inspiration that can be inhaled with maximum effort. Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)[1,200 mL]:- Amount of air in excess of tidal expiration that can be exhaled with maximum effort. Residual volume (RV)[1,300 mL]:-Amount of air remaining in the lungs after maximum expiration; keeps alveoli inflated between breaths and mixes with fresh air on next inspiration. 10.
