Question

Fill in the blanks with appropriate words.
The maximum volume of inspirable air is called …………….

Answer 1

Hint: The movement of oxygen from the outer environment into the cells in the tissues, and then transport the carbon dioxide in the opposite direction is known as respiration in a physiological manner. According to the biochemical definition, respiration is a metabolic process through which an organism can obtain energy by oxidizing the nutrients and then releasing the waste products.

Complete step by step answer:
The volume of air which moves inwards or outwards of the lungs in humans, during the time of quiet breathing is known as tidal volume. The maximum amount of volume which could be inhaled from end inspiratory level is known as inspiratory reserve volume. The maximum inspirable air is the amount of air that a human inhales normally, in addition to the amount of air which is inhaled forcibly.
Thus, the maximum inspirable air is the sum of inspiratory reserve volume and tidal volume, together termed as inspiratory capacity. The maximum volume of inspirable air is called inspiratory capacity.
Additional Information: When a set of metabolic processes and reactions takes place in a cell of an organism for converting chemical energy provided by the oxygen molecule into ATP (Adenosine triphosphate), and then releasing the waste products is known as cellular respiration. Mainly catabolic reactions are involved in cellular respiration. Catabolic reactions are the reactions where a large molecule breaks into smaller molecules. There are three steps in which cellular respiration occurs, glycolysis, citric cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Note: In the first step of respiration, which is glycolysis, various enzymes are used such as Hexokinase, Phospho hexose isomerase, Phosphofructokinase, Aldolase, and many others. Similarly in the next step, citric acid cycles enzymes like citrate synthase, Aconitase, Decarboxylase, and dehydrogenation are used. And in the last step of respiration that is, oxidative phosphorylation ATP synthase is used.
