Options

  1. AYes
  2. BNo
  3. CCannot be determined
  4. DDepends on the individual

Correct answer

B. No

Step-by-step solution

Tidal Volume (TV): Volume of air inspired or expired during a normal respiration. It is approx. 500 mL., i.e., a healthy man can inspire or expire approximately 6000 to 8000 mL of air per minute. Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): Additional volume of air, a person can inspire by a forcible inspiration. This averages 2500mL to 3000 mL.
