Question
Total lung capacity is equal to the vital capacity plus the:(A) tidal volume.(B) expiratory reserve volume.(C) residual volume.(D) inspiratory reserve volume.
Step 1
The vital capacity refers to the maximum volume of air that can be forcibly inhaled and exhaled from the lungs. The residual volume is the volume of air that remains in the lungs to prevent the alveoli from collapsing. Show more…

The difference between the vital capacity and the total lung capacity is termed the a) residual volume b) functional residual capacity c) expiratory reserve volume d) tidal volume e) inspiratory reserve volume
The inspiratory reserve volume + tidal volume + expiratory reserve volume is the same as (a) inspiratory capacity + expiratory reserve volume (b) total lung capacity - functional residual capacity (c) inspiratory capacity + functional residual capacity (d) inspiratory capacity $+$ residual volume.
The total lung capacity is calculated using which of the following formulas? a. residual volume + tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume. b. residual volume + expiratory reserve volume+ inspiratory reserve volume. c. expiratory reserve volume + tidal volume inspiratory reserve volume. d. residual volume + expiratory reserve volume+ tidal volume $+$ inspiratory reserve volume.
