Arrange the following in order of increasing volume (P) Residual volume (Q) Tidal volume (R) Inspiratory reserve volume (S) Expiratory reserve volume
Options
- AR < S < P < Q .
- BQ < S < P < R .
- CP < Q < R < S .
- DS < R < Q < P .
Correct answer
B. Q < S < P < R .
Step-by-step solution
The typical values of respiratory volumes for a healthy adult human are: Tidal volume (Q) = 500 mL Expiratory reserve volume (S) = 1000 to 1100 mL Residual volume (P) = 1100 to 1200 mL Inspiratory reserve volume (R) = 2500 to 3000 mL Arranging them in increasing order of volume, we get Q Answer: Q < S < P < R .
