Description
The ‘Lungs Capacity’ exhibit shows how much air your lungs can hold. This amount of air is important for your health. Blood absorbs oxygen from the air in the lungs and transports that oxygen to the cells. People with smaller lung capacity, due to issues like lung problems, often feel less fit. Conversely, athletes perform exercises to increase their lung capacity. This allows them to have more oxygen and thus more energy for their performances.
The principle behind this exhibit, measuring lung capacity, is used in designing testing equipment to detect respiratory conditions such as asthma. Additionally, companies that develop safety equipment, such as respiratory masks for firefighters or divers, use this principle to design effective and safe breathing systems.
