Are the Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) and Residual Volume (RV) the same in healthy adults?

Options

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

Correct answer

B. No

Step-by-step solution

The Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) and Residual Volume (RV) are different in healthy adults. : Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV): Additional volume of air, a person can expire by a forcible expiration. This averages 1000 mL to 1100 mL . Residual Volume (RV): Volume of air remaining in the lungs even after a forcible expiration. This averages 1100 mL to 1200 mL. By adding up a few respiratory volumes described above, one can derive various pulmonary capacities, which can be used in clinical diagnosis. Inspiratory Cap
