Q. Given that tidal volume is 600 mL, inspiratory reserve volume is 2500 mL and expiratory reserve volume is 800 mL, what is the value of vital capacity of lung?

KVPYKVPY 2017

Solution:

Vital capacity = Inspiratory reserve volume + Tidal volume + Expiratory reserve volume $= 2500 mL + 800 mL + 600 mL = 3900 mL$ Vital capacity is the volume of air breathed out after the deepest inhalation
