How does age affect lung capacity?
A) Lungs lose elasticity with age, reducing lung volume.
B) Lung capacity increases with age, increasing lung volume.
C) Lung strength decreases with age, increasing capacity.
D) Lung capacity is inversely proportional to age.
Lung Capacity
The total volume of air that the lungs can hold, varying with health, age, and physical fitness.
Lose Elasticity
The process by which tissues become less flexible and stretchable over time, often due to aging or damage.
Lung Volume
The total amount of air that the lungs can hold, varying according to age, fitness level, and respiratory health.
