KROK 1 2014 – Question 62 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
A patient has a traumatic injury of sternocleidomastoid muscle. This has resulted in a decrease in the following value:
- A. Expiratory reserve volume
- B. Residual volume
- C. Functional residual lung capacity
- D. Respiratory volume
- E. Inspiratory reserve volume
Hint
Ask in which phase of breathing, and at what depth, the sternocleidomastoid acts as an accessory muscle, and which lung measurement is built from that extra effort.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
