Ligament & Meniscus. Related topic Background Each knee has two menisci. They are commonly called âthe cartilageâ, although this is not strictly accurate. There is one on the medial (inner) side of the knee and one on the lateral (outer) side of the knee. They are C, or crescent shaped, and serve to cup the femur as it sits on the tibia to improve the congruity of the joint.
expiratory reserve volume. Type:Term. Definitions. 1. the maximal volume of air (about 1000 mL) that can be expelled from the lungs after a normal expiration.
Residual volume. - volume left in the lungs after maximal expiratory effort. (Normal 1.2 l (m) and 1.1 l (f)). - determined by the force of the expiratory muscles opposed by the tendency of the thorax to recoil outwards at low volumes. - beyond the third decade of life RV increases due to dynamic compression or closure of airways.
