Options
- ATV + IRV
- BERV + RV
- CTV + ERV
- DIRV + ERV + RV
Correct answer
B. ERV + RV
Step-by-step solution
After a normal expiration, the volume of air that remains in the lungs is known as the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC). Functional Residual Capacity is the sum of Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) and Residual Volume (RV). FRC = ERV + RV Answer: ERV + RV
