Select the correct option about pulmonary volumes and capacities
(A) VC = IRV + TV + ERV (B) FRC = IRV + RV
(C) IC = IRV + TV (D)TLC = VC + RV
A, C, D are correct
The abbreviations stand for the following:
IRV - Inspiratory Reserve Volume
TV - Tidal Volume
ERV - Expiratory Reserve Volume
RV - Residual Volume
IC - Inspiratory Capacity
FRC - Functional Residual Capacity
VC - Vital Capacity
RV - Residual Volume
TLC - Total Lung Capacity
From the figure, it is clear that
FRC = ERV + RV
So, A, C and D are correct.
