Question

After a deep inspiration and maximum expiration, the capacity of lungs is known as (A) vital capacity (B) tidal volume (C) IRV (D) ERV

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Vital capacity is the amount of air which one can inhale and exhale with maximum effort. It is the sum of tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume.

V C = T V + I R V + ER V

= 500 + 3100 + 1200

= 4800 m L

Q. After a deep inspiration and maximum expiration, the capacity of lungs is known as

vital capacity

tidal volume

IRV

ERV

Vital capacity is the amount of air which one can inhale and exhale with maximum effort. It is the sum of tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume. VC=TV+IRV+ERV =500+3100+1200 =4800mL

Vital capacity is the amount of air which one can inhale and exhale with maximum effort. It is the sum of tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume.
$V C = T V + I R V + ER V$
$= 500 + 3100 + 1200$
$= 4800 m L$
