Tidal volume is defined as the volume of air that is inspired or expired during normal respiration. It is approximately 6000 to 8000 mL of air per minute.
The hourly tidal volume for a human with a good health is calculated as shown below:
Tidal volume = 6000 to 8000 mL/minute
Tidal volume in an hour = 6000 to 8000 mL ×(60 min)
= 3.6 x 105 ml to 4.8 x 105 ml
Therefore, the hourly tidal volume for a human with good health is around
3.6 x105 ml to 4.8x105 ml.

Have you heard about hypoxia? Try to gather information about it, and discuss it with your friends.
Define the oxygen dissociation curve. Can you suggest any reason for its sigmoidal pattern?
