A patient has a traumatic injury of sternocleidomastoid muscle. This has resulted in a decrease of the following value:
- A. Functional residual lung capacity
- B. Expiratory reserve volume
- C. Residual volume
- D. Respiratory volume
- E. Inspiratory reserve volume
Hint
Ask whether this neck muscle takes part in quiet breathing or is recruited only for deep, effortful inhalation, then see which listed quantity is measured during that 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.
