Question

The maximum amount of air that our lung can normally hold is

• A. Vital capacity
• B. Total lung capacity
• C. Tidal capacity
• D. Pulmonary capacity

Answer 1

The correct option is B Total lung capacity

• The maximum amount of air that our lung can normally hold at the end of forced inspiration is called Total lung capacity. TLC = VC(Vital capacity) + RV(Residual volume)
• The normal value is about 6,000mL(4‐6 L).
  
• Hence The maximum amount of air that our lung can normally hold is Total lung capacity.
• So, the correct answer is 'Total lung capacity'.
