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
1. A. Inspiratory capacity would be abnormally low
2. Due to the muscular dystrophy muscles that would be responsible for inspiration
would most likely be damaged; and, this accounts for progressive weakness and
degeneration of skeletal muscles surrounding the lungs; so, the breathing process
would be impaired because the muscles that help in expanding the lungs are at a
weakened state; and, they would be unable to expand for inhalation; therefore, the
"inspiratory capacity would be abnormally low" possibly leading to other issues.
