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 mL.
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) is the additional volume of air a person can inspire by a forcible inspiration, which is approximately to mL.
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) is the additional volume of air a person can expire by a forcible expiration, which is approximately to mL.
Residual volume (RV) is the volume of air remaining in the lungs even after a forcible expiration, which is approximately to mL.
Comparing these values, the tidal volume is the lowest.
Answer: Tidal volume
Tidal volume (TV) is the volume of air inspired or expired during normal respiration, which is approximately mL.
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) is the additional volume of air a person can inspire by a forcible inspiration, which is approximately to mL.
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) is the additional volume of air a person can expire by a forcible expiration, which is approximately to mL.
Residual volume (RV) is the volume of air remaining in the lungs even after a forcible expiration, which is approximately to mL.
Comparing these values, the tidal volume is the lowest.
