Which of the following is equal to total lung capacity (TLC)? A) V_T + ERV + IRV + RV B) IC + V_T + ERV C) VC + ERV D) FRC + IRV

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Total Lung Capacity (TLC) is the sum of Vital Capacity (VC) and Residual Volume (RV). VC is composed of Tidal Volume (TV), Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV), and Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV). Therefore, TLC equals TV + IRV + ERV + RV, which matches the components listed in option A.
