Total lung capacity
A) Sum of the inspiratory reserve, expiratory reserve, tidal, and residual volumes
B) Volume of air inspired during a normal inspiration
C) Volume of air remaining in lungs after the most forceful expiration
D) Sum of the expiratory reserve, inspiratory reserve, and tidal volumes
E) The amount of air that can be forcefully expired after expiration of the normal tidal volume
Total Lung Capacity
Volume of air contained in the lungs at the end of a maximum inspiration; equals vital capacity plus residual volume.
Inspiratory Reserve
The volume of air that can be forcibly inhaled after a normal inhalation, indicating the reserve capacity of the lungs.
Tidal Volumes
Tidal volumes are the amount of air inhaled or exhaled during a normal breath at rest, crucial for respiratory physiology assessment.
