Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inspiratory capacity is the maximum volume of air that can be inspired at the end of a normal expiration.

Answer: D 
 The tidal volume is the volume of air that is inhaled and exhaled during a normal breathing cycle, including both inspiration and expiration. At the end of a normal expiration, the maximum volume of air that can be inspired is equal to the tidal volume.

Answer: G 
 The functional residual capacity is the volume of air that remains in the lungs at the end of a normal expiration. The maximum volume of air that can be inspired at the end of a normal expiration would be the amount of air that can be added to the functional residual capacity.

Answer: J 
 The inspiratory reserve volume is the additional volume of air that can be inspired beyond the tidal volume. At the end of a normal expiration, this volume can still be inspired, resulting in the maximum volume of air that can be inspired.
