be his Expiratory Capacity if the Residual Volume is 1200 mL?
- A2200 mL
- B2700 mL
- C1500 mL
- D1700 mL
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Expiratory Capacity (EC) is the total volume of air a person can expire after a normal inspiration. This includes tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume.
Since, Tidal Volume = 500 ml
And Expiratory Reserve Volume = 1000 ml
So, Expiratory Capacity = TV + ERV = 500 + 1000 = 1500 ml
