Question
After the expiration of a normal tidal volume, a subject breathes in as much air aspossible. The volume of air inspired is thea) inspiratory reserve volume.b) vital capacity.c) inspiratory capacity.d) d. total lung capacity.e) functional residual capacity.
Solution
The volume of air inspired after the expiration of a normal tidal volume, when a subject breathes in as much air as possible, is the Inspiratory Capacity (c).
Here's why:
- Inspiratory Reserve Volume (a) is the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation.
- Vital Capacity (b) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation.
- Inspiratory Capacity (c) is the amount of air that can be inhaled after the end of a normal exhalation, which is what the question describes.
- Total Lung Capacity (d) is the total volume of the lungs, including the volume of air remaining after a maximum exhalation.
- Functional Residual Capacity (e) is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal exhalation.
