Listed below are four respiratory capacities (1 - 4) and four jumbled respiratory volumes of a normal human adult
(1) Residual volume
(2) Vital capacity
(3) Inspiratory reserve volume
(4) Inspiratory capacity
Which one of the following is the correct matching of two capacities and volumes?
Options
- A(2) , (3)
- B(3) (4)
- C(4) (1)
- D(1) , (2)
Correct answer
C. (4) (1)
Step-by-step solution
Inspiratory Capacity (IC) is the maximum amount of air that can be inspired after a normal expiration, IC = TV + IRV . It is in adult male and in adult female. Residual Volume (RV) is the amount of air remaining in the lungs after a forced exhalation. Its average value is and in adult male and female respectively.
