Which one of the following respiratory volumes of human lung is the lowest?
Options
- AResidual volume
- BTidal volume
- CInspiratory reserve volume
- DExpiratory reserve volume
Correct answer
B. Tidal volume
Step-by-step solution
The normal respiratory volumes for a healthy adult human are as follows: Tidal volume (TV) is the volume of air inspired or expired during normal respiration, which is approximately 500 mL. Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) is the additional volume of air a person can inspire by a forcible inspiration, which is approximately 2500 to 3000 mL. Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) is the additional volume of air a person can expire by a forcible expiration, which is approximately 1000 to 1100 mL. Residual volume (RV) is the
