Maximum air volme in the lung ?: (A) 1200 ml, (B) 2400 ml, (C) 3000 ml, (D) 5900 ml
Answer is D. Ans. is 'd' i.e., 5900 ml.Total lung capacity (TLC) : - It is the maximum volume of air in the lung at the end of maximal inspiration, i.e., maximum amount of air the lung can contain. In other words, TLC = TV + IRV + ERV + RV or TLC = VC + RV (because VC = TV + IRV + ERV). TLC is about 5900 ml.
