Respiratory capacities Respiratory volumes
(a) Residual volume 2500 mL
(b) Vital capacity 3500 mL
(c) Inspiratory reserve volume 1200 mL
(d) Inspiratory capacity 4500 mL
Which one of the following is the correct matching of two capacities and volumes?

• A. (a)4500 mL (b)3500 mL
• B. (b)2500 mL (c) 4500 mL
• C. (c)1200 mL (d)2500 mL
• D. (d)3500mL (a)1200 mL

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

(d)3500mL (a)1200 mL

Respiratory capacities Respiratory volumes
(a) Residual volume 1200 mL
(b) Vital capacity 4500 mL
(c) Inspiratory reserve volume 2500 mL
(d) Inspiratory capacity 3500 mL
